I've been really passionate about movies since I was a little kid and at first wanted to become an actor when I was around 13, as I got older around 18/19 years old I got really interested on how movies were made and wanted to be a movie director, I'm 40 years old now and having learning disabilities all my life and having other issues such as OCD and high anxiety has made it extremely difficult to get my foot in the door. I failed high school and thought I couldn't learn anything and thought I was extremely dumb, but this channel has taught me a lot on behind the scenes of movies and I love the way you break each part of Filmmaking down so a below average Joe like myself can really understand it. I'm looking into courses like screenwriting and cinematography or anything to get my foot in the door in Filmmaking. I really appreciate this channel, thank you.
Rooting for you man. Whatever happens, whether you realize your dream or not, don't lose that seed of creativity, use it whatever way you can, no matter what it is, moviemaking, writing, drawing, or just simply think and fantasizing. Like Robin Williams said: "You're only given a little spark of madness, you mustn't lose it".
@@Syfonen Oh thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it and yes I'm going to give all even if I don't become a director anything behind the scenes in Filmmaking would be fine with me, I would like to go to film school but where I live there's not really any.
@@Stayfocused99 Yes and I absolutely love this channel and how it breaks down Filmmaking for someone like myself who isn't smart, I thought I couldn't learn anything because I failed at school over 20 years ago but I'm learning about Filmmaking little by little.
As a Media teacher, I can honestly say Studio Binder videos are ESSENTIAL and so useful for helping young students understand key concepts. Can't wait for Episode 10!
I believe the next generation of directors owes this channel a huge favour. You are to me, and from what I notice on behalf of many others amidst the greatest (although I personally think the title of the greatest is to be granted to you). Thank you for granting each and all of us this knowledge
I just want to say the amount of work that you all put into these videos is not unnoticed. Finding all the clips, editing, marking the clips for us viewers, writing, narrating; these all take an extreme amount of work and time at the level that you are producing at and I want to give my deepest thanks that you put the time in. Thanks a million for this incredible series!
i graduated university and learned nothing but deadlines....I wish i found this channel years ago! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us!! I have actually learned a lot!
I have learned so much from this channel it never feels like I’m in my bed watching RUclips videos. It’s truly a classroom EXPERIENCE!! Thank you so much!!!
I remember being fascinated with passing transitions when I was a kid. Then the simple J cut was the ultimate mystery, didn't knew how they made a simple cut so smooth. Turns out the answer was in the sound the whole time. Never knew it was called liked that until now. Thank you for another amazing video!
9:10 - The “Iris Transition” was created with an external aperture, placed in front of the camera lens. The camera’s own aperture is insufficient for creating the “Iris Transition”, since any adjustment would continually be darkening the image and increasing the depth of field.
thanks for the fact! i was wondering why the screen didnt darken or the depth of field wasnt changed. do you happen to know why initially they had these external iris?
Yes, I believe the external-Iris device started out as a tool for photographic printing. Its most-conventional use was for creating photographic vignettes at the printing stage, and it seems natural that early filmmakers would have applied the “photographic-vignette” to their movie shots, to emphasize something that would otherwise have gone un-noticed by the audience.
Imo, that ‘literal’ match cut from Lawrence of Arabia is the greatest edit in cinema history. The close up of Lawrence and the match, we’re confined in a small space, the suddenly we’re looking an absolutely enormous expanse of land over a sunrise, and we feel very isolated in a huge open space, just genius stuff.
My partner and I recently moved into the fiction film realm. He has been directing/editing docs for 25+ years/I am an actor and recently began shooting my first film which I wrote AND direct AND in which I act. He just so happened to catch me watching the Essential Film & Video Editing episode...and got some new knowledge dropped on him. I'm excited to work with him to edit my film and employ some of the techniques you cover. Even long-time filmmakers can benefit from what you're putting out. Thank you!
that is why Im probably not going to participate in a collage. All the stuff you learn there is basically the stuff you can get here for free on youtube.
Being an aspiring TV series creator who is looking for funding and currently unable to invest own money, I hugely appreciate all your free content and templates. What a golden age for self taught indie producers and writers! My editing experience comes from creating fan clips and show reels (the former being a rather difficult task, if you want to establish a narrative, due to L cuts and J cuts 😄), so I knew most of these transitions but found it extremely interesting to learn what they're used for by professionals and also that some cuts I've noticed but would've just called a cut have specific names (like the smash cut).
The "StudioBinder" is serving as a blessing to me. Going to be Forever grateful for these priceless lessons showered upon us for no price. Lots of love and respect for STUDIOBINDER
Finally a great Tutorial from Video Friday Round Up ... Very professionally done / Audio Voice included. It really shows with real Hollywood movies how The 9 Most used transitions are used correctly. Truly inspiring for me. Renews my faith in this channel.
I really appreciate this video! I have an upcoming test in my film class and this really helps me understand because I was having difficulties understanding what the professor meant
Thank you StudioBinder. You are amazing as always. I would love to thank the narrator in person. But if you are reading this, your voice is half of the story.
The synchronicity of a good match cut is too satisfying for words. They can even be breathtaking--Taylor Swift's 'Out of the Woods' music video uses one match cut in particular that's so well done it has the impact of a smash cut.
Thank you for also describing why the shots are named like they are. While most of them are almost self-explanatory, having the visual of the J-cut and L-cut to add to the name makes a lot more sense and makes it easier to connect them with that name + memorise it.
Man oh man... I do motovlogs and I know which transitions I use in scenes versus telegraphing when we're changing locations or topics, but never why they seemed to feel right, now I do - THANKS! Since you asked, I use a lot of whip transitions, with some cross dissolves, fade, and sometimes other ones in Resolve, only because the 2 scenes line up for it [like a brightness flash, for instance, when riding into the light]
once again, great video for the ones out there starting to learn the basics of visual language! i would argue that a jump cut is also an important and "has its own way" of transitioning, in scene or between scenes, but i guess jump cut can have two meanings. in a montage it can be a jump in the same shot to show passage of time or for dramatic/comedic effect to cut to the same shot but closer/further like we zoomed between cuts. beside from these jump cuts that breaks the 30 degree rule, a jump cut can also be considered as a cut in the middle of a sentence or action to the next scene (like some examples in the smash cut just without the perfect timing), it can be dramatic as well as comedic
Usually I use fade and dissolve cuts the most and I tend to forget about all the others but this was such a great reminder. Thanks for such a great information!

Hi, I’m an italian young filmmaking student, thanks for this lessons. For this kind of stuff, videos are really more efficient for me than books, your lessons helped me more than 3 book I read, thanks!! I would like to know more about your studio, I’m really curious about you!
Some of these things are so basic that they made go back to Film School. Nice reinterpretation of the basics though and another excellent video Studiobinder!! That dissolve at 6:25 though💖🎥... That's why Coppola is Coppola.
I like the scene cuts where a black bar moves in from one side, splitting the sceen like a slow Wipe, but stays in the middle splitting the screen, especially seen in Kill Bill or the series Fargo (season 2). The two halves often show two places at once, but not always. Sometimes the split isnt even necessary, when two character are sitting next to each other, but are split anyway. By moving the bar out of screen, one half takes over the screen, finalizing the wipe. Or the two halfs ended up being one scene and the bar can just slide out vertically.
Perfect timing!! Just working on a video and struggling to choose transitions. Always look forward to your videos and this one speaks to exactly what's on my mind. Thank you!! 😃👍

Hey where is the jump cut? It represents normally what’s happening over time or increasing energy.
My favourite transitions are the Wayne's World transitions

Always will be :)
It's the Kurzgesagt of cinema.
I was thinking the same thing!! This is what the internet was made for. The sharing of knowledge :)
and you guys do it in style.
Right? Elon wasn't lying when he said that nowadays we can learn anything from the Internet.
All RUclips content is free.
This channel has the most production value for film knowledge I've ever seen. I freakin love this!

Answer is all in the details 👍
Transitions have always fascinated me since they always help with pacing and make the video/film feel way cooler. Thankyou for this video
They're great tools to have!
9:10 - The “Iris Transition” was created with an external aperture, placed in front of the camera lens. The camera’s own aperture is insufficient for creating the “Iris Transition”, since any adjustment would continually be darkening the image and increasing the depth of field.
Thanks for the clarification!
I’m glad to contribute to the knowledge base that you’re putting forth.
I was thinking the same and wanted to see the comments .... anyway, I love this channel...thanks Carl and Stubio B

The iris and wipe transition is visible mostly in Star Wars !!!!
This channel is matchless! !!!
The narrator's voice is priceless
20 minute studio binder vid while I’m ill? Hell yeah this is great
Here to make your cold more bearable :)
@@StudioBinder ayo how did you know it was a cold 😳
Best channel on film making so far.
That's the goal!

Cheers!
daaaaamn good content !!! im studying multimida and this is pure gold! thanks!!!
Thank you StudioBinder. You are amazing as always. I would love to thank the narrator in person. But if you are reading this, your voice is half of the story.
You are heard 💖
@@StudioBinder God bless you man 🙏
probably the best channel on film making that you will find. Especially if you are a beginner
I freaking love this channel I can’t afford film school but I don’t need it when I got you guys! One love
Most of what you learn will be done by doing it 👍
Super glad I found this channel. I think all of this is super interesting and always love learning about movies/moviemaking
Then we're the channel for you!
The comeback of the shot list ! Hell Yeah !
We're back!
Can you go over the rest of the transitions? Your videos are so clear and to the point.
It's definitely possible!
OH HEY! WELCOME BACK THE SHOT LIST! THANKS STUDIOBINDER!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Enjoy!
You've given me a lot of ideas with those old transitions.
The synchronicity of a good match cut is too satisfying for words. They can even be breathtaking--Taylor Swift's 'Out of the Woods' music video uses one match cut in particular that's so well done it has the impact of a smash cut.
The source behind some legendary moments in film
I love how you guys used Sam Kolders Film at 18:24 between all the Hollywood movies, amazing!
It's a great technique!
The best channel on RUclips to learn filmmaking! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for also describing why the shots are named like they are. While most of them are almost self-explanatory, having the visual of the J-cut and L-cut to add to the name makes a lot more sense and makes it easier to connect them with that name + memorise it.
One of the best channel to learn about film making and editing ....
That's the goal!
Watching atleast 2 videos of Studiobinder in morning is my daily schedule.
My favorite is definitely the match cut. Just something so satisfying when they're done so well.
Who needs film school when you have StudioBinder?
We're your remote film school!
Man oh man... I do motovlogs and I know which transitions I use in scenes versus telegraphing when we're changing locations or topics, but never why they seemed to feel right, now I do - THANKS!

I’ve been diving deeper into film, and I’ve been coming across lots of amazing content from this channel!! Thank you 🙌🙌
Pure treasure this channel is.
I needed this. I'm really looking into film making and it's my dream one day to make the first 3 billion dollar film. I owe it to this channel
If there is oscar for RUclips chennal this chennal gonna take it every time.
We're waiting for it haha
Have been rewatching your Shot List series recently and was going to request this. Amazing!!
We're right on time!

I would highly recommend The Adventures of Tintin for some really wonderful digital & CG transitions. They really are incredible!
Great transitions in that film 👌
Excelent transitions and great movie.
This is brilliant. I'm taking a Premier Pro course and I love it. This has totally sparked a new interest for me just as a hobby.
These videos have the quality content you usually have to pay for 🙏🏼
Perfect timing!! Just working on a video and struggling to choose transitions. Always look forward to your videos and this one speaks to exactly what's on my mind. Thank you!! 😃👍
Good luck on the vid!
the match cut always blows my mind!!
I love these videos, they're so instructional yet entertaining. thank you!!
