Tell Better Stories - A Simple Guide to Cinematic Camera Movement

I had no idea so much detail when into camera shots. You know your stuff, Drew! So interesting.

Good video, thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Great video man and great explanation too... I have a video idea for you if you will, hand pick some movies scenes that are famous for its directing style and give an overview as to how you think it might have been filmed, I'm sure it could be a great series

Very nice video, professional presentation and content. Thanks, I'm glad to subscribe for more content.

wonderful, thank you so much. Liked and subscribed :)

This guide is amazing! Really valuable insights in this. Great delivery :) 👌

I also love the handheld one, I tend to use it a lot, I try to keep it stable but I love the natural feeling of it

nice one man, subbing

Thank you for naming each film you reference. So good!

Great suggestions and explanations. I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone when it comes to handheld shots. Many times a handheld shot can be distracting. Such as when you're watching an emotional scene between two characters. I think locked off shots work best in such situations because they allow you to absorb the emotions the character(s) are expressing. How I rationalize that is that I imagine the camera is a person in the room watching these two characters. And in such situations, watching the two people, my head would not be bobbling around (aka handheld camera). The movie "Children of Men" used handheld cameras for their strengths. When you're following the characters trying to get away from a threat, the handheld camera adds to the intensity. In a way, expressing what the characters are feeling in those moments. Anyway.Thanks for this video. Subscribed.

Quality Content man!

What gear do you use to film this episode? Great look

HANDHELD ❤❤

Don't show yourself. Just show the movie clips.

Why did you crop the clips from Catch Me If You Can, Joker and Knives Out?

this 6 minutes video taught me more than 6 minutes of film school

This is really impressive 👏👏

Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg have a great use of handheld shots!

Great video

well explained!!

This is going on my FILMMAKING 100 playlist, really great knowledge & examples!

This is quite insightful

I've become a fan of locked off shots. I guess I've seen so many done successfully it got under my skin. I remember seeing something where the director held on the actor not talking during the whole very long scene, only getting their reaction. It was perfect and brilliant and sold the scene. No movement, nothing.

bro this channle is awesome. first time on this channel and love this video so much.. very informative. .make more videos about filmmaking like this.. love from India

I love to use static shots. They allow me to focus on the framing and lighting. It also makes my videos pretty chill.

Handheld, in my opinion it is overused as it is easy. People want to pick up the camera and shoot. This shot has became even more over used with the introduction of lightweight cameras. They Don't give that flowing look. I personally keep handheld to a minimum, using shots with intention gives that shot more power, when you show the audience to much of the same, it becomes ordinary.

Good video, and really interesting. Thanks for sharing it. Jesus Loves You man! 🔥👍🏼

That’s why I love Jonh Wick series… great shots when there is a lot of action without useless camera movement that makes scenes confusing and awful to watch.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I hate tripod, better do another job than seat and wait

I like how you included everything everywhere worst film ever made

Great video and I am looking forward to implementing in my own filming! Handheld shot I really like as well. Lots to learn and implement

Bro is so handsome

I'm gonna make a movie with my friends for a school project and I'm the director , tips from yall will be appreciated (we are 14-16 in age )

All of them are great tools to tell the story at hand.

Nicely articulated👍

brother you look like Andrew Garfield 😃

All shots are unique, I love dolly shot

How I think of it, tracking shots are a subvariant of both the dolly and hand-held varieties. Two different ways of moving the camera with the characters. Am I wrong? Or are tracking shots only ever done as (thus a sub-category of) dolly shots?

I want watch thus after work please like my comment

I am now wondering how can I use these in my woodworking videos lol

Could you do a version of this but for 3D animation - where there's no restriction of "camera equipment" since it's a digital camera and you can put as many as you want in a scene - thanks!
