This was a great synopsis for the basics - the best I've found yet Also to anyone new, the rule of thirds works every goddamn time, nobody exactly know why but it does, don't question it haha
This could literally totally change the lives of young filmmakers all over the globe. So many people waste time in a classroom instead of going out and doing. This video sums up what many people would get out of their 4 year film education. Props bro, keep crushing it, take care of yourself.
You can film and edit a feature length video on your phone these days! (Not that I'd necessarily recommend it...) The point is, you can make a movie on any budget. I've never spent any money making any of my videos other than the occasional prop or piece of gear. It's all just creativity!
It can help to meet people and make good connections. But I think all the technical stuff you can learn online for free. So it has pros and cons. Personally I didn't go and I'm in a better position career-wise now than my friends who did
Thank you, I'm a highschool student and I'm trying to figure out if I'm really fit for this career and after watching this I feel like I am. Love you for this.
Loved this video. Very informative. Can you please explain what the prople involved in filmmaking exactly do, like directors, cinematographers and their role. That would be very helpful.
i dont wanna be a film maker, i want to be an animator. but this gave SO much information since animating and storyboarding has so much filmmaking attributes:))) thank you!! this help me a lot
Thanks! Maybe I have not watched a lot of videos but this video is the only video I have watched that systematically talks about camera angles and lighting and so on!
I’ve just started getting my head around premier pro ! Glad I stuck with it” playing about with software is fun ! And this video has a lot of great info, tips and advice 👍🏼
its amazes me how all of this goes into 1 shot and the audience don't even notice but if they did you probably did it wrong cause its meant to flow and keep them entertained
Watching this now I’ve been graduated high school and don’t really know what to do for a career but I really want to get into making films, this inspires me to go to film school!
hahaha! Thanks a lot. In your teacher's defence, I also had a very good media teacher and I just condensed all the main points from my whole 2 years into this video. It's not that the teachers are bad, this is just a more effective delivery method :)
Alfie Vaughan Absolutely! I could not agree more on subject of delivery. He naturally had to be transparent with the methods and unfortunately dumb the infront-of-class teachings down for the vast majority of my classmates that had picked the class for "watching cinemas and chilling". Anywho, the content is dearly appreciated!
Great video! Made me realise I really need to work on my lighting more for indoor shots especially. What do u recommend for a relatively cheap starting out lighting equipment?
Thank you! Yeah lighting is something that came later for me as well. You can get the big softbox lights I have pretty cheaply but they're better for even lighting. If it's for cinematic stuff like short films those small LED panels I was using are £25 each (the bigger one is about £110) LEDs are really good and easy to control. If you google some cheap LED panel film lights you'll find loads of options. You can't really go wrong but read the reviews and see what people say :)
Thank you Alfie! I’ve wanted to do film for a career and this helped a lot! One question though, when editing should I use a computer or will my tablet work? And how much over all would all this cost? Thank you.
No problem! You're better off on a computer with proper editing software but you can get apps for editing videos on tablets if that's all you have. What are you asking the cost of? Making a film or the editing setup?
Thank you so much Alfie!Although, I really got confused with the side by side image example of lens compression. Foe some reason, despite repeating the part a lot of times, I couldn't understand how the zoom out/zoom in made the distance vary. But seriously! Thanks a lot! Helped me learn a lot in very less time! Cheers bruv!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! If you google some other examples it might make more sense. It's not so much that the distance or difference in size of the characters changes. It's more about how the background and the foreground are brought together and seem closer than the wide angle version. Hopefully you'll find something that helps :)
This is pretty much everything you learn about filmmaking in University (a bit less in depth of course). I'm on my second year studying Film and Television and this was a great refresher! Thank you!
Hi, Nice video 😊. I have a question though. What is the actual process of filmmaking. I mean what comes first, the script writing, or something else. Here is what i think, but please correct me. 1. The person writes the topic and forms a story. 2. Then he writes detailed dialogues and script according to the story. 3. Then he plans the shots. 4. Then the actors act and the director directs. 5. And finally while editing, nice edits are done and sounds are added. Is it correct or am i missing anything? Can you suggest avideo that includes all this? Nice video 📷 btw 😊
Thanks! The process depends a lot on who is making the film and what level it's at. For example, a small college film would only be a few major steps whereas a big film is hundreds. Generally it's idea, script, story board, location planning, casting, costume design, general pre-production all come first. Then shooting and sometimes additional pickups. Then offline editing, offline, VFX, sound, colour... A very long process.
@@AlfieVaughan 🙏 Thanks! You gained a new sub today 😜. It's commendable to reply to every single comment on a video that was uploaded 7 years ago! I will definitely make some movies, no matter how small they are. I aim to make a movie every week. I hope I get better with time and experience.
What’s missing in this video is Screen direction and neutral shot . 1) Screen direction is the direction that actors or objects appear to be moving on the screen from the point of view of the camera or audience. Just knowing shots isn’t enough you need direction within a z,y or x axis. Are actors moving left to right of the frame so in the next frame they appear on the left etc… 2) Neutral shots helps reset the actors direction. In this frame no one is going left or right but remain static and symmetrical. Using an insert then cut so the next frame changes the actors direction. Also missing is 180 degree rule and 30 degree camera
This has been so informative, thank you for this! I've always wanted to make short films but I didn't really know where to start until now. Thanks Alfie! You're great :)
Thank you so so much for this. I took the challenge of filming my own work for my acting demo reel since I don’t have footage of film work. I am basically doing the whole production for myself, so thank you for this video, I have a better idea of what I have to achieve for my demo to look closer to professional footage.

This is awesome and immense help when I am coming back to this vid for specific parts. I know this must have taken quite a bit of effort thanks!
Thank you so, so much for this. I needed to take notes, and I don’t think I could have done it without you!
Thank you so much❤
That you SO much. This, combined with the stellar video, is so helpful💕
I won't lie, at first I was like..."hmmm 8 minutes tho" but this was really informative. Thank you.
Haha! Thanks a lot :)
This is really cool thanks
Thank you :)
Did you make any films. I’m thinking of doing a horror for fun. Just locally. But then it’s maybe a bit cold. Time for a new coat. Just wondering how many people used this and if they uploaded anything to RUclips.
@@julieteaston5829 I make movies
I'm not even a film student. I just want to watch movies from one's perspective or at least close to one. It feels like I'm missing a lot when I'm absolutely clueless. Thank you for this video!
That's awesome! No problem :)
this is the most informative video and that is also in just 8 minute...subscribed!!!!
haha, thanks a lot! I'm glad it was useful :)

@@AlfieVaughan I was doing it anyways so I
thought, might as well share ahah :)
Thank you
Was gonna write it down from the video but this has made it much easier, thanks.
You're the GOAT for this, thank you.
What’s crazy is that you’ve literally went over everything in 8 minutes, what took my college 4 years to go over 🤦🏿♀️
Haha! I tried to condense everything I learned at college into one video 😀
I agree, well made
What is your major?? Like what is it called?
It's called Creative Media Production but it's not a major. This is before university :)
omg im in my second year and literally just thought about this!
This seems fun. If I ever went on the path to become a director, I would use these tips. Right now, I am planning to be a screenwriter.
How is your screenwriting going sir
Ooh yes, please give an update!
I’m getting into acting, we could help each other if you need an actor!
@@acrixedits I’m going into screenwriting/directing, I’d love to have an actor for the future!
keep it going bro 💪📝
Learned more in this 8 min video than I did for a semester of my college film class 😂👏🏻
It's amazing how many people have said that! I tried to condense my 2 years of college into it as well. Glad you liked it! :)
$$$$$$ college scam.
Amazing how much you managed to pack into 8 minutes. Great work! Learned a bunch :)
Thanks man, I appreciate it! :)
3 years of my media studies in just 8 mins! Thanks mate :) Very useful
That was the idea! Thanks a lot :)
This was a great synopsis for the basics - the best I've found yet
Also to anyone new, the rule of thirds works every goddamn time, nobody exactly know why but it does, don't question it haha
Thanks! :)
powerful video you got here man
Thank you! :)
In simple words - this video is Great!
Thank you!! :)
Now this is what I called "the real accurate video" its really 8 mins OwO
No clickbait here! 😉
Dang.....quick and to the point. Clear examples and easy comprehension. I'm with Alfie
Thanks! Glad you liked it
very helpful, camera angles were particularly interesting

My biggest flaw is the budget. Movies are ridiculously expensive that would drain you.
You can film and edit a feature length video on your phone these days! (Not that I'd necessarily recommend it...) The point is, you can make a movie on any budget. I've never spent any money making any of my videos other than the occasional prop or piece of gear. It's all just creativity!
@@AlfieVaughan Do you reccomend filmschool for beginners?
It can help to meet people and make good connections. But I think all the technical stuff you can learn online for free. So it has pros and cons. Personally I didn't go and I'm in a better position career-wise now than my friends who did
Get creative
Best taught video! Straight to the point with a basic example but yet in depth. Good job. I wish so many other tutorials were like this
Thanks :) I have a few others on lighting and sound!
watch in 0.75 speed, he talks pretty fast
Taco Fox hahahaha XD that's not a bad idea!
Hahahahaha I just did
I'm watching at 2x speed
Alfie Vaughan nah, personally, I like it when people talk fast and therefore don‘t waste the viewers time.
Keep it up!
Genius
Thank you, I'm a highschool student and I'm trying to figure out if I'm really fit for this career and after watching this I feel like I am. Love you for this.
Thanks!
0:57 isnt completely true, sometimes ppl do that to make you feel weird
I like the shot on the left (@7:12) more---the blue edge adds a sci-fi feel. All depends on your goal, I guess. GREAT video!
Thanks! :)
If I had a dollar everytime someone say "Oh you vlog?" when I say I'm going to take filmMaking

Yep!

No problem! You're better off on a computer with proper editing software but you can get apps for editing videos on tablets if that's all you have. What are you asking the cost of? Making a film or the editing setup?
That was a good question thank you for asking
The approximately cost of the gadget used in total
Tablets can range from really cheap, maybe $40, to thousands if they have a screen. Depends which you get!

What’s missing in this video is Screen direction and neutral shot .
1) Screen direction is the direction that actors or objects appear to be moving on the screen from the point of view of the camera or audience. Just knowing shots isn’t enough you need direction within a z,y or x axis. Are actors moving left to right of the frame so in the next frame they appear on the left etc…
2) Neutral shots helps reset the actors direction. In this frame no one is going left or right but remain static and symmetrical. Using an insert then cut so the next frame changes the actors direction.
Also missing is 180 degree rule and 30 degree camera

I am basically doing the whole production for myself, so thank you for this video, I have a better idea of what I have to achieve for my demo to look closer to professional footage.
Glad it was helpful :)
