A good tip for anybody actually intending to become creative or interesting directors; NEVER take tips from pretentious know-nothing non-talents who have never made anything worth even your time investment. A kid who has no ideas, a parody level delusion of self importance, and has never had an interesting or original thought in his life, is not a mentor or even a worthwhile peer. Avoid this absurd fool, taking him seriously in itself will set you FAR FAR back.
Judging from the amount of people who commented how this video is either interesting or at least useful, I'm assuming it isn't that basic. I, for one, certainly didn't know of this stuff until now.
Okay why are you making these videos not having any film background but youtube? Hello sorry I teach film am just wondering why you are doing this????????
Wow, a lot of dickheads on here are hating.. If you're not interesting in film why would you bother clicking the link?
I think boh3m3 did a good job sharing his knowledge on the basics, I don't study film and don't plan on making it in the industry but it does intrest me.
Nice summary, but also beware of cliche techniques. I'm not saying you used them, but it could be another point. Overusing techniques as well. I knew where you were coming from cuz I learned this in middle school drama class, we had a very in-depth teacher who liked teaching us extra things that were pretty cool.
You are saving me thousands of dollars in film school. I'll also help with terms and tidbits as I pick them up because I have film students as room mates.
Actually, tidbit #1: Know the limits of your electrical systems, and if you don't, learn how to properly use a fuse box. I lost two hours of my electronic life because my room mates and their film crews understand how fuse boxes work as much as an infant understands how a circuit board works.
great tutorial especially about the line. i am a film student and learning about all this but great to see you teaching it. I hope you will address that shots are from the cameras perspective not the cameramans. doing my films totally solo, i have found that it helps if you think about the camera as a cyclops or person with one eye and think of the camera as a person not just a camera. saves a lot of time and reshooting, sincerely charlie
Crossing the line will cause...! Great ! What I read somewhere, that a sincere sign of knowledge is that you can communicate what you know.
The world is in a bad need for qualified tutorials. Thanks a lot - it was a great help. And now up and starting my own shooting (might be one of the neighbours clan...)
Baking paper! You can use baking paper as a cheap, cheap diffuser. It's a bit thick though so if you get the thinnest one you can find that should work. It's kind of see-through and doesn't burn immediately when you have it against lights. =D Bouncing light is good too. Thanks for trying to make youtube a better place to be.
I'm not shooting, but this was entertaining, and for those who DO intend to shoot, probably informative/useful. Keep it up. What about those film-school plans of yours?
thanks ben. b4 this i had never even given any thought to camera angles. you have truly opened up some new doors. i love what youve done with your charecctor btw, its most becoming!
Great advice Ben, especially for some of us novices, myself included, who are wating to try animation and film making but havent figured out the basic "Do" and "Do Not" rules.
this really helped a lot, but do you have any advice on some extremely easy animation and how to do it?
i mean i'm workin' with nothing here, and i really want a way to shoot something without actors. i have a few small skits i've writin but i'm still looking for a way to shoot it all.
If you have ever run across the "7 Habits of The Most Effective People" weather on Tape on in a book, it does state, one of the most effective tools in learning, is to teach what you are currently studying. Good work.
I find also that if you lower your camera instead of just have a straight on shot in a conversation sceen it lets the actors use their hands more and get the right emotions out. Not the best for every shot but I find it adds an interesting little detail. This makes me want to go back to my film and video class that I have about 6 sixs ago.
bouncing is the standard! any film or tv set will have several c stands with bounce sheets facig actors and a light bouncing off of it. h this tutorial ben! your skills and knowlege has come a very far way in the time I have been watching you! keep up the great work! I can not wait to see your first full film project! your work is getting good! you should start trying to include camera motion as a method of including audience participation! think dolly or steadycam type work!
Very nice tutorial. Some things I knew already, others I did not. But it's the perfect kind of thing to start getting people to wake up to themselves and start filming right. Thankfully for me, I'm going to be starting film school next year (with any luck), and I'll be learning all of this stuff and how it's handled in a professional environment. But things like 'how to defuse light on the cheap' rather than with professional equipment is useful stuff to learn.
A good source for cheap diffused light that doesn't start fires is white paper "Chinese" lanterns. You can get them from stores for around $10. All you need is a movable stand to hang them from.
I had a quick question. After you got finished describing the three light setting rule on the two characters, where did the third light appear from? Was it from an angle?
Thanks for the up, good fundamental stuff here. I'm hoping you get into some animation technical stuff but that's probably a long shot since you starting so basic. Maybe some After Effects quick example scenes, that would be cool.
To diffuse, you can make screens out of paper and maybe a picture frame. Just pull of the back, take off the glass, put the paper in and take it onto the back and bam! You have a screen. The hard part is getting it to your lighting with something like an old tripod that you aren't using.
Diffuse with Theatrical or Film gels. You can place frost and also different colors to the front of the light to change diffusion and color properties. Send me a message to learn more.
i love when ur talking about the line and crossing the line and that bad things will happen if u cross the line ppl will die, fires will spring up all over the earth etc..:P great video thanks for the tips ;)
Wow dude this is great info your giving out thanks a lot. If I can make a suggestion though, when your making a point on a topic, could you maybe show like an example or something of that nature to better clarify your point? Maybe I'm just dumb but I feel it would help me a lot more with what your trying to say, otherwise thanks again and i look forward to more
I'm not very good at explaining, but I'll try my best.
Notice when he had the camera over the shoulder of the other guy but still able to see the other? To "cross the line" would be to go completely behind the other and you wouldn't be able to see the person the camera was aimed at. You don't want to have them talking away from the camera. Does this make a little sense? lol I hope I was able to explain it ok enough :x
I just have a suggestion. Perhaps as you finish describing a shot, you just give a short (couple seconds) example from a movie or TV show, or one of your own works.
Well done..It's kind of cool to see the thinking that goes into movie making..and I don't have to pay $500 a day to a washed up "indy" director to see it...yay
really cool Ben. If you are going to be doing these I'm mention it in one of my tutorials. You should have mentioned "Fight Club" for the axis of action line. Those guys broke the rule tons in that movie to disorient the audience.
This is great! I love this new approach to your videos and can't wait for the rest of them. I myself am getting more into short movies along with the vlogs that I've been doing. I know just from your videos that I'm definately going to use the things that I learn in your videos for my own videos. Keep up the great work.
Really great tutoirial. I'm very interested in directing stage productions at my high school and (while I did know some of what you pointed out, but I had never heard of "the line" concept) this is helpful.
Wonderfully original way of demonstrating how videos should be made. I'm not a videomaker myself, but I watched it all the way through anyhow. It is entertaining and informative. *Thumbs up!*
Nice basic stuff for beginners, I like to be able to throw away the book at whim though. Sometimes your setting has quirks or you see a interesting way of shooting it different.
please make more of these tutorials, i've been wanting to learn stuff like this for years but i never really got around to reading tons of books about film theory ;)
its good to see somebody point out 'the line', its a really vital piece of info, ive seen so many great amateur movies get ruined because they crossed the line.
That was really good..if i had any inkling of ever doing any cinematographic work i would totally reference this video. Unfortunately at this time i do not. But the vid was great!
Not to double post but, pause at 6:14 or around that. (Just whenever they're doing the over the shoulder of the villain.) and you'll see what looks look a skeleton smiling. I'm not making it up, just look.
my favourite way to diffuse light is a technique sort of stolen form cheap photographers, but I like to set my lights up backwards into a black umbrella and then you can move the umbrella to aim the light accordingly

Wonderfully original way of demonstrating how videos should be made. I'm not a videomaker myself, but I watched it all the way through anyhow. It is entertaining and informative. *Thumbs up!*

Nice basic stuff for beginners, I like to be able to throw away the book at whim though. Sometimes your setting has quirks or you see a interesting way of shooting it different.

its good to see somebody point out 'the line', its a really vital piece of info, ive seen so many great amateur movies get ruined because they crossed the line.
Loved the tutorial Ben. Loved it.

That was really good..if i had any inkling of ever doing any cinematographic work i would totally reference this video. Unfortunately at this time i do not. But the vid was great!

Not to double post but, pause at 6:14 or around that. (Just whenever they're doing the over the shoulder of the villain.) and you'll see what looks look a skeleton smiling. I'm not making it up, just look.

THIS IS AWESOME! What is "blocking"? You mention it a couple of times. Is it blocking the characters or blocking the light?

my favourite way to diffuse light is a technique sort of stolen form cheap photographers, but I like to set my lights up backwards into a black umbrella and then you can move the umbrella to aim the light accordingly
