that montage almost made me angry because it took me to the skies with the promise of warmth and safety and then threw me on the ground when I was totally invested. I know it was just a picture but what an absolute betrayal .
Favorite Emotional Scenes: 1. The song, "When Somebody Loved Me" gets me every single time, without fail. 2.The scene at the end of Iron Giant when he says he's Superman. 3. The End of Lord of the Rings, when Aragorn tells the Hobbits they bow to no man, and the King and everyone else, bows to them instead.
In The Breakfast Club, there's long take shots in the scene where the five protagonists are circled together talking about their inner thoughts and troubles. Those long shots helped focus in on their view points, making the scene feel emotional and real.
Great example. Also, there's a long shot of Jack Nicholson's character toward the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that's almost painfully beautiful, especially on repeat viewings, when you know what's about to happen. Superb acting.
That scene from Manchester by the Sea is among the best scenes I've ever seen in my entire life. Especially the gun moment. Casey Affleck totally deserved the Oscar for that role. I'm happy you brought that up in this video.
@@StudioBinder Exactly! I must have watched that scene at least 100 times. It's a masterclass of writing, filming, and acting. Please, include it more often.
You forgot one feeling, Excitement... and that's when a notification pops up from StudioBinder 🔥 Been following your content for years and it's one of my favorites... very informative, a subtle editing, and of course a great narration & explanation.
“Lincoln” is a best example of emotion. Editor Michael Kahn extended each shot for several seconds or longer because it really shows the emphasis of the characters’ long dialogues and emotions (especially their eyes) and how we the audience react and how we connected to the historic people. I pretty much use the same technique to capture dramatic moments. Drama is my genre.
OMG, thank you, guys. ur video literally evokes my emotions by this video. this law of attraction or StudioBinder hacked my brain. All day yesterday, I could not stop thinking about the scene “What is Heaven” in “The Creator” movie, which affected my feelings and kept replaying and crying. ❤❤❤❤❤
Pixar nails it every time *spoiler alert for Inside Out* I’ll never forget watching Inside Out for the first time with my husband and my brother, and when Bing Bong sacrifices himself of course we were all crying a little, and my husband blurted out “I’m not gonna lie, that’s f***ing sad!” 😂
Cinema is Emotion. It's Always Inspiring to learn from you StudioBinder. Thousand Thanks for making this Inspiring video. Best Continuation to come for you StudioBinder.🙏💯💯💯
I'm not surprised because this video is great, that because all of your videos are helpful and high quality content like film School and college level.
What a 360 lecture on the subject of creating emotional impact in films. I love the way this video is crafted with so much insight for all the talents involved in creating a memorable film: the writer, director, cinematographer, the editor and the actors! Well done, Studio Binder. This, as most of your videos, have been deeply insightful!
Fascinating video! I never knew that evoking emotions in film was such a complex and multi-faceted process. The theories of emotion outlined in this video, such as the Aristotelian concept of catharsis, really opened my eyes to the ways in which filmmakers can craft a emotional experience for their audience. I'm excited to apply this knowledge to my own film analysis and storytelling. Thanks for sharing!
for me, it has to feel genuine for the character. it has to feel right for that moment for that character to express exactly that reaction. an example for what I was trying to say: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SPOILER!!!-------- in the final episode, gaius saying "you know, I know about farming" and breaking into tears. It destroyed me. It was... utterly crushing. I again got shivers just by writing it. Anyway, I think I made my point.
Another amazing video.... thank you so much! When you played "When Somebody Loved Me" -- that really hit home. Sarah McLachlan is a legend; her voice coupled with your amazing storytelling from visuals and music to written style and camera shots from Toy Story 2 encapsulated how to make the audience feel perfectly.
There's a scene from In The Bedroom where Tom Wilkinson is trimming a tree after his son has been killed, and reveals steps leading up to an old tree house. For a second, there is a flash of his young son looking down at him from the tree. Wow. The whole film packs an emotional punch, but that scene wasted me. So clever and economical. It helps having superb actors of course.
I need to say that i feel.emotion just when in the movie appear jokes and comedy when it happens like in life is beaudiful im getting touched to the character Thats why i never got emotions in movies like the pianist or the whale
I find it quite interesting that that director Fincher at 3:55, mentions all the technology and attributes it with creating feeling while not mentioning human role (be it writing, or acting) at all. I understand that it might be taken from a longer interview and I also have to admit that I have never heard of this man and know nothing of him but, purely from his statement here, it seems to me he has a disregard for humans, or at least their contribution to creating emotion. Again, I am not saying he is like that in real life, but as a director who has to work both with technology and humans, this seems to me quite telling.
This is a great observation. Fincher is known (kinda like Kubrick) for being more cold and technical. But I think this quote is more about how all the effort and technology that goes into capturing emotion and manipulating it so that a room full of people connect to it. And I think he was referring to how every filmmaker does this, not just him.
I've been using that northman track around 1 min in for a temp track on a movie I'm editing. So when that came on I was so confused. I thought Davinci was playing. lmao
A good tool to evoke emotion is to cut to actual archival footage of an important historical figure or event that is already embedded in the collective consciousness. An example is at the end of Golda, where news footage of the great woman herself is used as a postscript.
