Should've mentioned that when composing the shot and using the rule of thirds that the eyes go on the top line.

@Triflixfilms 8 лет назад

I love this format, you guys are being very consistent with your roles. For the most part, I come to your channel for tips/advice/tutorials. I go to Film Riot, Corridor Digital, and Linus Tech Tips for Education/Entertainment. Please continue keeping your episodes short, to the point, and informative. While the humor is minimal in your episodes, I think it is for the best... again, here for info not entertainment. I appreciate you guys finding a lane and sticking to it.

+TriFlix Films thanks TriFlix. Always nice to be referenced alongside Film Riot, Corridor and Linus! While we hope to be generally entertaining, our focus is always on being useful. :)

@Triflixfilms 8 лет назад

Well you guys are succeeding at your goal. Again, I don't mean to say you aren't entertaining... it's just that I think focusing consistent videos similar to this is your niche. I like the current format of your web series and support you :)

@VisioNoxStudios 8 лет назад

Wow, we surprisingly used all of these in our summer project, VAMPED! Should mention the use of a doly as well, we find it hard to navigate and maneuver in some circumstances. Great videos on this channel btw, it should turn into a regular tutorial channel! We use all Hitfilm software atm.

@RikVargard 6 лет назад

Nice... I wish there was an example on how to shoot dialogue scenes with only one camera. Do the actors play it twice and you film from one side then the other? etc... :)

@MediaTempleTHOB 5 лет назад

5-6 take on each actor sometimes but i love using one camera though time consuming but awesome.

@talibhassan652 5 лет назад

Use coverage method. Actors will need to repeat lines for different angles. But dont hesitate. Be in control as a director should be.

That's it? A thought that fiming dialogs is the hardest part of filming.

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+Doctor Vitas as with any filmmaking topic, you could write an entire book on it. :) We've covered the essentials here - if you understand these rules, you'll be able to create coherent dialogue scenes which the audience will be able to follow. Going from there to the cafe scene in Heat between Pacino and De Niro requires a lot of work and finessing of technique. Similarly, creating technically correct images is the first step, but it doesn't mean you're immediately an Oscar-worthy cinematographer.

Hi can you please suggest me any tutorial in deep which can show how to do exact color correction. For background, foreground & master individually or to get real film look color correction, cause we do by using color correction wheel in hitfilm but I'm having messed up it doesn't give the look I want.

@calebcarr1925 6 лет назад

@avfilms2036 8 лет назад

Great tips! What about recording sound when shoting a dialog. Is lav mic good (hiden from the camera), or is better to use shotgun mic?

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+AV films it will depend on the specifics of the scene and, of course, on the equipment you have. A lot of the time having a boom mic above the actors is best, but that might not be possible depending on your camera angle. In practise you'll be switching technique frequently depending on the setup of the scene. And, of course, some dialogue might have to be done in ADR, if conditions on set are unfavorable (eg too much background noise).

@avfilms2036 8 лет назад

+HitFilm Oh, thanks! Currently my budget is 0 haha. I've just ordered my first lav mic (Aputure A.lav), because I need to shot an interview or let's say more of an promo, but I don't have any good microhone. Hope a little lavaliere will save my ass :) Thanks again and keep up the great work! It's very helpful.

@davidmcclelland8090 8 лет назад

This was really great, Just dled your software and subscribed and didn't expect film making tips. I have one script for a short film mainly involving dialogue and the cinematography will be very important. You gave nice tips and summed up the basics nicely. I'd like to add that you CAN break the 180 degree rule IF you move between the two characters with the camera to get another angle. Ever since I learned about the rule I've seen it practiced in almost every single film, only broken by what I just mentioned. It's really neat knowing these ins and outs you never knew before.

@Triflixfilms 8 лет назад

+David McClellan Be careful friend, learning film is like taking the pill in the matrix. Once you know the truth... you will analyze everything you watch until you can no longer enjoy movies, because you are picking them apart subconsciously haha.

@davidmcclelland8090 8 лет назад

@kathy9250 7 лет назад

How do you get that blurry shoulder effect on the over the shoulder shot? Just change focus? Or lense? I'm new to film so any help would be great :)

@FXhome 7 лет назад

That shallow depth of field is created by the camera settings. Open up the aperture as wide as you can (small numbers are wider), And avoid wide angle lenses. If your camera has a zoom lens, then it will help to zoom all the way in, and get as far away as necessary to frame the shot.

@kathy9250 7 лет назад

HitFilm thank you :) I have a zoom lens and I have to get so far away to make a good shot it's ridiculous :(

@FXhome 7 лет назад

That's why they build movie sets with walls that move, so they can get the camera farther away. Your other option is to switch to a lens with a larger aperture.

@kathy9250 7 лет назад

HitFilm I think I'll just save up a bit and get a new camera then. :) Is the blur effect the same with depth of field or different then the zoom lense one?

@FXhome 7 лет назад

Depth of field is the term for the range of the scene from the closest point that is in focus to the farthest point that is in focus. It is controlled by your lens's focal length and aperture. Usually video camera lenses, which are too small to have a really large aperture, will only be able to achieve shallow depth of field by getting far away and zooming way in. (small aperture, long focal length). If you get a lens with a larger aperture, then you can get closer and retain the same shallow depth of field.

@fourth1000 7 лет назад

here is a question not covered in these tutorials. How long do you do each take per angle? If I have 10 pages. Do I do the whole ten pages in wide shot... then the whole ten pages for ever other shots or do I get selective according to my story boards. isn't that considered editing in camera which is a no-no?

@patrickdaitya7084 7 лет назад

I don't think you would know until you try it out. Or story boards. Yah.

@jacobvarney23 3 года назад

It depends on how long you want the shot to last. People usually don't shoot an intense closeup for an entire scene. Editing in camera is fine, so long as you're certain you know you won't be missing anything.

@keetsingeltje3373 8 лет назад

when you editing with hitfilm can you use media files frome the sony DSC-WX500

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+Tycho Krone It depends which file format you are trying to import. As long as it meets our supported formats, you will be able to import them: hitfilm.com/faqs/view/51

@keetsingeltje3373 8 лет назад

+HitFilm oke thanks Ps i came from the Nederlands so sorry for the bad english

@VioletHenning 5 лет назад

Very nice tips. Do you typically have to do the same scene over and over for each camera move or can you film just each actor's line while that actor is talking and then move the camera to film the other actor? What is the best way?

@FXhome 5 лет назад

It's better to film the whole conversation from one side, then move the camera and do it again. Filming it line-by-line won't feel natural for the actors. - Javert (FXhome Staff)

@VioletHenning 5 лет назад

Thank you for the advise

@ilikefishing5899 8 лет назад

how do you synchronize audio in hitfilm and hitfilm express?

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+Dante David Méndez Chávez there's no automated syncing, so you will need to use the timeline waveform to align the audio with on-screen action. Syncing features have been requested a lot and are on the wishlist!

@yitzledee 8 лет назад

Can you guy's teach us how to make a clip like the message from General Zod to the world in Man of Steel or anything else as preparations for Dawn of Justice?

@whynotlucas847 Год назад

I have a question, when I shoot a dialogue scene with two people, do I have to move my lights and the camers I use everytime when the other person speaks, so when they interact? Or can / should I record the complete speach of one person at once and then go to the other? Thanks!

@FXhome Год назад

I'd suggest recording the conversation entirely from one side, then move all the equipment and have them do it again while recording from the other side.

@georgerady9706 5 месяцев назад

Of course it helps if you have ACTORS who know how to SPEAK!!! I swear, the whole discipline of Theatrical diction seems to have been washed away by “methody” acting teachers who can’t stage-speak themselves and think it’s a “reality” virtue and not just lazy incompetence! Pace, Character, Clarity so clean that you can mess with it and still be understood! And - most of all - know what you are TALKING about within the context of the story, the character and the moment of the scene! Then the cinematographer merely has to shoot the voice and reactions and the audio guy needs only to get clean sounds… the rest can be done in post.

@negan-saviors92 8 лет назад

im realy releaved when you said that 1 camera can also be enough ;)

@kamentr 8 лет назад

Hi HitFilm! I really enjoy your videos. I need help. I have to do a film with my whole class, we decided it will be a criminal film and will shoot mostly outside. We have two good DSLRs but non of us has a microphone. What do you you think we should do? Can we get a good aoudio from a smartphone or the dsrls or we need to buy a microphone? Its just for one film and i want to hear your opinion. If possible give me some ideas for cheap microphones that might do the job. Thanks in advance keep up with the good videos! :)

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+kamen traikov Much as we would like to say that you can get good audio from a smartphone or the DSLR's, (which may be true if you were inside), you are likely to just hear noise and wind when shooting outside. As having bad audio is one of the things that immediately makes films look 'amateur', we would recommend investing in a really good mic. We personally use a rode mic which is about £50 and does a wonderful job. If you'd like some more suggestions, do consider posting on the forums where we have thousands of filmmakers who would be able to help! Best thing to do in the meantime is do a test run - take the equipment you have at the moment outside and do a bit of filming to see what quality you get. Thanks for the question!

@mupicap7927 5 лет назад

I have only 1 camera.. It's probably point 4 and 5 which is not really explain by you guys... Should i shoot 1st angle till the line both actor finished, then continue to retake another, another, and another angle and repeat the same dialogue?? Lookslike consuming more times,, or maybe any tips from u guys?

@FXhome 5 лет назад

Best to film from one angle for the whole conversation. It gives you more flexibility in editing and makes the dialogue sound more natural. - Javert (FXhome Staff)

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+Daniel Dolorez you can transcode them to a different format prior to editing (you can find some discussion on the forum here: hitfilm.com/forum/discussion/38403/smoothest-format-for-editing), or you can use the proxying feature (right click the video in the media panel and choose the proxy option, which will create a fast performing version.

@yamaan93 8 лет назад

what if you only have one camera?

@sleepyspookyy 8 лет назад

+yamaan93 I had this same question. I think you're supposed to record all the dialogue from one angle and then all the dialogue from the other angle.

@yamaan93 8 лет назад

um what if make a slight change from one camera to another. also it might be obvious

@sleepyspookyy 8 лет назад

+yamaan93 well that's where the practice comes into play but I've found its actually a lot easier if you use the rule of thirds to line up both of the shots

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+Converse Minecraft Absolutely - the rule of thirds really helps here. As well as (as we said in the video) using the same lens, camera and lighting to ensure that your shots look the same.

@FXhome 8 лет назад

+HitFilm also, shoot ALL of the dialogue for Angle 1 before switching to Angle 2. Don't keep changing the camera for every single take.
