Directing - The Fine Arts of Blocking and Composition
Просмотров 320 тыс.9 лет назад
When it comes to directing, one set of skills that always separates the wheat from the chaff, are the fine arts of blocking and composition. They're the extra punch in selling great performances, and reeling your audience in. In this video, I look at what makes and breaks great directing, through clever staging and camera movement. Turn on the captions if you want to know what films the footage...

      @@DelightfulRain713 I stopped uploading because I felt I didn’t really know enough to continue. I’ve since landed a job animating and directing cinematics on a videogame that will be out next year. This was after making a short film that you can find on Film Shortage called “God In The Sky” that got me some awards and notice. It’s not something like Blur Studios or anything, it’s just a small indie studio with Annapurna Interactive publishing us, but it’s a nice way to start such a career. I’ll have some time after the game launches to settle down for a moment so I might take this back up then.

    The novel is even better. Abe Kobou truly encapsulates existential horror in Woman in the Dunes . A marvelous mixture of subtelty and mundanity to horrific nature of inescapable manoeuvring of the world which could befall anyone for any unforeseen reason or circumstance. The whole engenders the absurd. And gloriously so.

      I'm doing well enough, and I'd like to give this a shot when I can. I haven't been able to dedicate time to this channel since 2017, since my health stabilized and my animation career started. I also felt like RUclips was filling with people who didn't really know or do anything and were making videos about how they know everything yet do nothing, and I felt I was contributing to that. What free time I have goes to pursuing film as a career when I'm not resting to manage my health and work. My day job - basically since the channel stopped updating - see's me animating videogames and, thanks to a live-action short I made with my brother that won a bunch of awards, these last couple of years I've spent directing cinematics in a video game. Due to my disability that's slowly getting worse, that's most of what I can handle these days. I'd love to get back to this channel now that I have more experience and a bit more knowledge directing, but given that it's been 6 years, I wouldn't believe me if I promised I'd make it one day. I genuinely aim to try, as I enjoyed this quite a bit, but that's all I can say for now.

    It's OK to day that JJ Abrams is a SHITTY DIRECTOR. He's not just blunt. It's like watching someone with a blunt knife insist on cutting devorative sushi. And they only use bluefin tuna to do it. All I can think is "hey, what if they just let someone who DOESNT SUCK direct that movie instead of Jj Abrams." I don't know Abrams as a person, but I hate him. He has been a poison in Hollywood. At least Michael Bay is good at what he does. Abrams is just a piece of shot

    I love this video, although I do disagree with how you explained shaky cam in Snowpiercer. The shaky cam in Snowpiecer serves to highlight the chaotic nature of the fight scenes, as opposed to Chris Evan’s character’s fight scene towards the end, where you see him in a much more composed state than you would in the shaky cam fight scene. But overall, lovely video, and makes me more interested in directing than ever.
