How Editing Tells a Story 

3:01 I have no knowledge of cinema but I think that half filled glass signifies that she is skeptic whether this therapy will help her or not.

Either director itself is genius to do these or you're good at analyzing and explaining because normal audiences like us don't even care or notice them. Always good to watch your videos. Do make more like old times. Please

3.20 Thank You. With the majority of people thinking this is some kind of groundbreaking movie, I absolutely like that you assure it's not. Ofc I find it bad for different reasons than you, knowing nothing about film making. But as a student of psychology, I can say this is not the accurate representation of healing or therapy. People need to know that.

What if the director had no idea about all these and it is just a mere coincidence?

You have changed the idea of acting and editing for me.. 👏

I just watched your video about understanding subtext and that has got you one avid follower. You are simply amazing man. I'm gonna be sharing your channel with the people I know personally, who enjoy and understand quality content. You deserve much more recognition. Best wishes 🤗

As far as editing in conversation goes the Before trilogy (Before sunrise, Before sunset and Before midnight) directed by by Richard Linklater (especially Before Sunrise) are / is and excellent example.

And not even once, in none of your videos do ask to subscribe or like your videos. Respect to man, you are most real and genuine youtuber around. Thank you for making all your videos. Your stories of stories are brilliant. Don't change anything just evolve your videos as your wisdom evolves.

Unrelated to Dear Zindagi, but I think another brilliant scene falling into the category of transformation is the last scene of Devil Wears Prada. When Andrea and Miranda interact for the first time during her interview, Miranda is sitting (left of the frame) and Andrea is standing on the right. This scene establishes the power dynamic. In the last scene, as you said the axis shifts. Miranda is sitting in her car (right of the frame) and watching Andrea who's on the other side of the street standing. They acknowledge each other as equals this time, another shift of power but the other way round almost mirroring the first scene. I always thought I was weird for noticing that, thank you for reassuring me that I'm not crazy!

The coming of age genre is still not much explored and experimented with in Bollywood, this shows how far we have come.

Learned so much... thanks. This will help in making my short films and elevate them.

This is an underrated channel. It should have crossed one million of subscribers.

Less than 4 mins video? Buddy don’t you get it? We come here to listen to your voice , The video is secondary

I get happy when you post a video ☺️☺️🤗

I'm a simple man. I see Vinit has uploaded a video. I keep aside everything else. I watch the video and remain in awe for a long time.

Ur knowledge and the deep study about the movies is the only thing which attracts us to watch all the things you upload...the way you analyze every single scene and shot its just magnificent, And you also hepled us to notice that the film is not only about the story and acting but also the cinematography which make it look beautiful.!!

It will be great if you make a video on -NO SMOKING One of the greatest movies of all time in bollywood!!

3:16 I was waiting for this 😁

Coming to think of it, this was nothing special. The scene could easily be reversed and wouldnt have changed much. Camera over Jahangir's shoulder facing Alia would have simply conveyed how she will be responding to him; while Jahangir with complete focus would have meant requiring complete attention from both audience and Alia. No matter what angle you choose the one sitting will always look passive. However the end result is still mediocre because of Shahrukh's over the top acting and both shouting with their expressions

3:20 I am glad you said even in bad films😂😂 Coz I was about to watch this film. You saved my time.

Do a video on why you call this a bad film. Actually, do all your analyzing on bad films, itll tell you (us) how 'not to do' for a start!

no matter what u do for me the scene is dead the moment superstar srk takes over from the character jahangir khan while naratting the chinese man story...it might be orgasmic for his female audiences nd srk fanatics bt the maguc dies then nd there..evertime he manages t restrained himself nf be jahangir the magic is rekindled

U r deeply involved in cinemas Great work

The notification from your channel is like a moment of enlightenment from the misery of bad filmmaking .... really happy with this video too as usual😬

Going by the tag line I thought I was going to disagree with you for the first time but what a save. Cheers man :)

This one is quite different n appreciable. Though I like this movie but still I agree with ur point of watching n analysing. Nowadays I'm waiting for your videos just like I used to waiting for my summer holidays in childhood. Thank you man ! 😊👍👌

Kudos... Your work is really amazing. It'll be great if you can do an analysis on Sherlock...looking forward to this..and thanks in advance ☺

Absolutely brilliant. I look forward to these videos.

Glad you are posting frequently

Following your channel from a long time, this is one of my favourite film (based on the story as it is way different from regular Bollywood drama but we still can't consider it as an art film) yes the direction and cinematography might not be that good and in this scene there are way many coincidences rather than the direction you explained. Yes and this kind of therapy seem kind of filmy, but I would rather watch this srk movie rather than K3G and KHNH. (PS. I just got butt hurt cuz you called this a bad film, but personally it has made me feel good in my bad times while I was in my therapy)

Do a analysis on Requiem for a Dream

I like how u mention the character by actually taking the character's name rather than the actor's name, in ur every video

Are aisa kuch nahi hai..Alia ka Closeup hai kyun ki OTS ke liye us shot mein Shahrukh hoga hi nahi..Woh aapne Vanity Van mein hoga😀

Please do something with Satyajit Ray's work. A film analysis, shot analysis etc.

I was surprised to see you doing analysis on Dear Zindagi thinking that you actually liked the movie. The ending of the video restored the balance for me.

I have a question. Why did 'Mirzya' failed despite having people like Gulzar, Rakeysh, Pawel Dyllus.

3:00 I don't think it is completely unnecessary to show the close up of the glass. It might not carry a special meaning but sometimes a little change in the shots is needed. It breaks the monotony of the long conversation. I can give another example from the movie 'Twelve angry men' where suddenly rain starts coming down. It wasn't absolutely necessary. But it brought a change.

Finally. Continuous videos. Love your videos man.

Grt work man . Ur anylyis of movies r way ahed of time. Ur brilliance in making video with acute knowledge keeps us engaging. I m sure u r going to get 1M Subscriber within few months. Your explanations Simply superb.!!!

After establishing their position, they should have been shown more together in the frames. Or there could be some variations in shot reverse shot pattern, such as panning the camera. The first scene is good but it becomes poorer as the film goes. Good Will Hunting is perfect for this. The relationship, along with short reverse shot pattern, is very involved in Good Will Hunting, even after the first interactions.

please keep making videos.

Editing is done primarily for conveying an idea or when the director "FEELS" that a scene has successfully displayed all the emotions of actors and the message it wants to provide . Dialogues are primary tools for developing character arcs and to move the stories forward. Classics are necessary viewing to appreciate good cinema. If someone's serious about making it into films ,classics are absolutely must. As a matter of fact most of the current crop of directors like tarrantino , PTA, spike Lee ware all cinephile's ,and who has taken multiple scenes from classic Hollywood, old westerns, film-noir's.

Why everybody is commenting that it is a bad movie 🤔i really liked it rather than other same romantic shits

Brother, I just love your work and your style of explaining things, keep it up

True, a simple conversation can gives us many valuable insights about character. The opening sequence of Tarantino's Reservoir dogs in a dine in is perfect example. The conversation is intriguing and submersive. Your analysis and breakdown of this sequence is brilliant. I might rewatch it just for this

Felt such a rush of excitement when I saw the notification cuz I feel dear Zindagi is such a good film and nobody seems to agree with me. So naturally it was cathartic for me to see someone who feels the same way i do. Cuz if Vineet talks abt a film it has to be a good one. That being said thanks a lot for the end punchline bruh -___-. Cool video nevertheless.

Vinit masram was a legend ✨ R.I.P 🕊️

Wow wow wowwwwww!!!!!! Love this!!!!! Absolutely brilliant!

Yaar, sachi.. kabhi kabhi na mujhe lagta hai.. director ne bhi iita deep mey nahi socha Hoga banate tym.. but hats off to your efforts bro. best video on film making from Indian shores

3:15 Cracked me up, even though I liked the film. You were quite smooth with that insult😂

U don't actually need to see classics.... Bcz Dear Zindegi clearly shows that u can find well executed visual moments even in bad films....😂😂😂. Best line of this video

Love this channel and i have seen all the videos and please keep posting videos 😍😍

Did they really put so much thought into this scene? Surprising :)

This is indeed exquisite. I would really like you to make a video about where did the film fall short because i felt the same. It had many great moments but it didn't come together well as a film.

Aisi video dekh ke lagta h Mai you tube pe kuch bhi dekh ke time pass kr skta hu, chahe samjh aaye ya na aaye.

Mr. Masram, please make videos frequently . I am a huge admirer of your work. I want to get into your brain more frequently. I am a cinephile and a critic myself yet everytime i watch your work, i am speechless. So, please make videos frequently. It’s a humble request from your admirer.

It was a good movie how can u call it bad. It was something fresh!

Dude I was so ready to disagree with you as soon as I saw the title of the video thinking you'll call this a good movie. Thankfully you tricked me with that. This movie portrays depression so incorrectly it's infuriating. Also in her intro scene she was the cinematographer who totally changed the blocking and the ending of the movie(?) what was that about, how is this wrong about filmmaking and depression at the same time.

P.s. I am a huge fan of your videos with explanations!

This is not a bad film ! Mr.know it all

Man that was deep on cinematography thanks a lot

Hey Vinit...... very nice anatomy of the scene....good work dear....👍

Thanx for explaining nahi to aam Janta ko kaha ye sb samjh me ayega...

As usual, great observation and educational material.

Hii Vinit. I have a question. Are you from any film school? Because the way you explain things shows your deep knowledge of filmmaking. Recently I did a short course in digital editing from FTII. And they teach me the same way you explain. And you explain very well😊

Very commendable work.. please upload more and more videos

Shooing off Karan Johar in the disclaimer at the beginning. Liked it broda.

Your voice is professional yet sweet!

Vinit, please also make videos on Rajkumar hirani's movies.

Good work Vineet.....worth watching....!!!!

Vineet I'm an ardent follower of your channel and wish to more videos, please post videos frequently if possible only. I like the way you narrate the scenes, I don't know many thing about films, but thorough your videos my way of seeing movies is changing, and it's very much evident. Thanks for posting such videos, and hope to see more in future. I would like to see your post on Satyajit Ray. Please post on his work.

Dear Zindagi is masterpiece movie for me

This isn't a bad film at all😶 it was refreshing to see the lead of a "hindi film" who is flawed and has difficulty in coping up with life just like anyone else idk about others but in my opinion this movie was a game changer in many ways

I don't know about you but I enjoyed the film. Its a feel-good film with many good things to say. However cool analysis.

This is my first time commenting here. Please don't disappear and stop doing this. If you have to disappear, then let it be for a higher, film-related cause. Many times I find myself too wary of analysing films because if I did, I might end up not liking many of favourite movies. Bizarre-out-of-the-blue question(kidding, it's not) : do you feel the dissecting of movie scenes into specific school-thought exercises in editing and videography won't rob you of the mysterious viewing experience of the film? How thrilled are you with magic once you know the exact technique of the magician?

Just watched Dear Zindagi...and boy was it good! I thought this would be one of those cheap Bollywood movies where an actress who is like 20years younger than the actor falls in love with him and all that crap,but i was wrong! This is an amazing movie. At first when i saw that it was around 2hrs and 30mins long i thought it would be boring. But i was so invested in the movie, I didn't even feel bored for a second. This movie is brutally underrated. And yeah,some people think its long and boring. I, personally loved it! Those who haven't watched it yet. Give it a go!

How about revealing your top 10-15 movies in every genera? I'd definitely love a video about that.

As an admirer (this is completely new to me) of your works i want you to review Martin scorsese as a director ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very informative 👍 Thanks for this.

I started watching Dear Zindagi again today. Can't believe i'm saying this, but i agree. It isn't such a great film. It got harder to watch ahead & i eventually decided to stop.

These were nice to know, but some of the clips that are used in the last to say they never used these tactics in those scenes, these scenes are the deleted ones. However, dear zindagi may not have the perfect psychological insights but it was a good film, the chair scene, to convince any and everyone to see a therapist, because we all deserve to be heard and understood from time to time.

Calling Dear Zindagi a 'bad film'. Not an 'okay' or an 'average' film is pretentious to be honest.

You did a lot of observation in movies. You can include the conversation scene from the movie "ugly" when they in police station to report FIR

Its a good film... I lyk it very much...

We show change of heart and maturity with spects😁😁😁

Love ur work, keep up ❤️

Great analysis, as always.

When is your next video coming up ??? Can’t wait.

I think "Dear zindagi" is the vanilla version of "Goodwill Hunting". But to compare it with Goodwill Hunting will be a sin.

Hi! Love your work. I'd really like to see what you think of the table show pieces, other decorative props in Khosla is Ghosla. They always occupy this noticeable place in the framing, and I wonder what they mean. Keep up the great work!!

Thnk god som1 finally said dear zindgi a bad film.... Its so ovrrtd... Evryone ws praising... I ws confusd fr my taste.. Now m relieved...

This was very helpful but Dear Zindagi can't be called a bad film, I understand many people didn't get it and it had it's issues but it was a good film & girls like Kaira exist

btw nice one again, adjectives can't justify ur videos ✌✌✌

We need more videos on regular basis

I'm like Oh my God ❤❤

I am your big fan !! how do you get to know if it is a good or not can u tell me how I can use this information in my videos, I am in animation !! also I would love your critic!

Finally a good analysis of a Hindi movie
