  • yo can u explain reverse angle shot

  • @reviewitorhateit If you are looking at the back Person B and the front of person A, the reverse shot would be the back of the Person A and the front of Person B

  • @sonnyboo sorry but are you supposed to stop after every line to switch the shot angle? or do you film the whole scene from one angle and then film it again from the opposite angle?

  • @xPdididi It depends on the constraints of the shoot. I sometimes shoot all from each angle, other times, just the angles with the lines I need from that angle. It's up to you.

  • Thanks.. its a greta service. God bless you!

  • Thank you for your explanation and for pointing out priority order for the various angles.

  • This really helps me a lot! :) can't wait to start on my first home production!

  • @HatTrickGamer Good for you! What subject are these movies going to be about?

  • can you please explain what you do with the audio when you're cutting to different scenes? what i mean by that is, do they re-do the same thing with different shots?(if they do, what do they do with the audio if they don't cut each clip and use different audio for each time they cut to a different angle) or do they have multiple cameras doing the same thing but they use the same audio track for each clip?

  • this is great! I learned a lot from this video. Now to improve on my video taking skills. And watch more videos like these.

  • I'm starting to get really annoyed at my high school Film and Media teacher as I watch these videos. I mean, it took him weeks to teach us step by step how to film like this when he could have just as easily said "Go home and watch these things on YouTube" (we couldn't watch them at school because they had blocked this site on the school computers.
