I recently stumbled on ur channel and I must say....this is one of the best you tube channels I have seen in recent months...your contents are amazing...I see potentials for massive growth in months to come...just keep churning out great contents...Love from Nigeria
UPDATE ! HE IS NOT WRONG. Im a filmaker that planned on going to school to properly get certified to become a director... this is easier to watch and understand more than sitting with a professor or even online schooling in a time frame. I might just overview your whole channel, learn what i need to learn and definitely let my visuals speak for itself. I appreciate your time and content. I will sum up what i have learned when i feel my content is at a peak for explanation. THANK YOU !
You know when I first started making shorts.. I thought all you need to know was about 3 things. Shutter speed, ISO, and F-stop plus maybe some audio tools, boom poles, lav mics, etc etc, and a good message to tell.
Very good! I'd like to point out Michael Hanneke's remake of Funny Games which subverts this techniques using very bright cinematography and art direction to create tension and uneasiness.
That's awesome. We have a series of new videos slated for release every week. Also make sure to grab the free Film Tone worksheet here: www.studiobinder.com/visual-storytelling-film-tone-examples
Lighting is basically how a scene is illuminated, lowering the brightness or putting low or high contrast or shadows. The Art Direction is to use different shades in the costumes, props to provoke the emotions and sensations that want to be transmitted according to the scene. ATT: Sara Garcia
Pretty good video, but I feel you are only covering half of the equation. You are only covering tone in the finished look of the film and not talking about the more crucial element of the tone of the story. The worst offenders of tone confusion are usually not ones who screw up the proper lighting but the tone of the story. For instance if your film is really lighthearted and meant to be a fun comedy, but then one of the main characters is brutally murdered and the rest of the film is about revenge and has zero jokes from that point on. Now, shifts like this can be pulled off, but the point I'm making is that consistency of story tone is a must! A good example of great story tone would be Hot Fuzz. It's a comedy but ends in a super action shoot out. It works for a variety of reasons but one of which is that they are constantly foreshadowing the action to come and even shoot the film in more the style typically used for an action film instead of a comedy. However, a bad example would be the riverboat scene in Willy Wonka. This scene is so inconsistent with the feel and tone of the rest of the film that it stands out like a sore thumb. And, even though it is rightfully hailed as a great movie, pretty much anyone you talk to will acknowledge how strange and out of place that scene feels in comparison to the rest of the film. The best rule of thumb is, never do anything that would be seen as out of place with the story you are trying to tell unless you can somehow write in a convincing justification for doing so. TL:DR: Good explanation of tone in the look but story tone is really where the battle is won or lost
When I clicked the video, I thought it was going to be tone related to story. You broke down thoughts for many who were expecting tone related to story rather than look.
This is no different from literary analysis that names all the devices employed by an author, but in reality, in the process of crafting the work, none of this is really thought about. It mostly boils down to instinct most of the time on how a director/writer envisages a scene or scenes. I remember in doing my very first short of just being committed to my guts and my eyes.
Bro, you forgot to mention the importance of DI(Digital Intermediate) process.. Nowadays we can't imagine a visual tone preparations without DI. Great Cinematographer+ Production Designer+Colorist makes a film visually stunning...
What about anything that relates to sound? How about colors? You quote matrix but didn't mention the main aspect which created that mood, which is the main tint of the movie. Nice intro but very noninclusive definition.
Sir 🙏It's very Helpful video for me.. please give more videos for New Movie 🎥🍿 Director 🫂🌎👑💖🙏🙏 ... How i start Short Film 🎥, please give me all information video about it... Love From India 🇮🇳💖
So tone is brightness? But also saturation, lighting, exposure and art direction? The definition of brightness at the beginning of the clip is incorrect. It put me off the whole thing.
Hi Team Studiobinder, Am a budding film maker with funds but no team, hence am going solo. Suggest me some of your videos from where i would learn and initiate my project. Will be very helpful to kick start the work if you help me Thanks much
Bringing down the saturation is the worst way to do black and white, and definitely is not showing "how bright or dark really is." The values are completely different.
Wait a second, bruh. Tone if it means brightness, or Luminance, is completely different from Saturation or Desaturation. There are three dimensions for matching things like when I make Photoshop images to put people in compromising positions or match clips of films: Hue, Saturation and Luminance. Hue, like always green tinged with Neo is in the Matrix, and blue tinged when in the "real world," yada yada yada. I mean if there wasn't the in vogue bs about color grading stuff, because color correcting takes 30 secs with scopes, no one really would be seeing any off color pics, like the current, everything is brown like a turd, "dark" movies. That's a LUT, bruh. That takes 3 seconds, if you don't have a good file system to find stuff.
At 5:06..... How the heck are you going to make it almost all the way through a great, educational video, then right at the end make it inappropriate for school?
1) nice cherry picking on Man of Steel, as if you couldn't pick any day shot 2) funny how "happy" Superman above is when Superman literally witnessed Lois dying in his arms while "sad" Superman is the one learning fly for the first time
I don't understand. Why do you even make videos when you can only make videos about half of the thing. There are people watching you who only have internet as a medium to learn filmmaking. Show some responsibility. It's such a shame that RUclipsr has so many videos but no proper structure. What do students like us do who don't find good filmschools in our country?
Resposbility? LMAO this guy is out there making videos for people like you, yet you complain about him doing it... The real problem is the country that doesn't have good film schools, not this guy. At least he is doing what schools there can't

This is so well done! I love the examples. I feel so inspired to take my filmmaking to the next level 🔥
Very good! I'd like to point out Michael Hanneke's remake of Funny Games which subverts this techniques using very bright cinematography and art direction to create tension and uneasiness.
Spot-on! And totally, every rule can be broken.
Midsommar is a very good exemple as well!
Outstanding video especially as I'm preparing to direct a film. I'll be using this to help me communicate my tonal vision. Thank you.

you guys are awesome! like really awesome...all of your content is so high quality and insightful!

nice comment! said it all, taugh us something (at least me) and was not rude etc. thanks!
Parasite recently pulled of a pretty crazy tone shift...
Thank u . Learned something better
Great elucidation

Star Wars vs. Empire Strikes Back is a great example of contrast in light. Notice how different those classics are? Exactly.

It sure packs a punch!

If anyone wants a reference, you can read The Visual Story by Bruce Block. The chapter on tone is basically this video.
Great video!

Bringing down the saturation is the worst way to do black and white, and definitely is not showing "how bright or dark really is." The values are completely different.
We've got ourselves a Bryan Cranston fan
I prefer the Chris Reeve Superman. No offense to the cast and crew of Man of Steel. Who's with me?
@@thej762000 How's that?

4:49 Was that Walter White from Breaking Bad??🙄🙄
Haha yup! That's Bryan Cranston in "Malcolm in the Middle" before he landed the "Breaking Bad" role.
1) nice cherry picking on Man of Steel, as if you couldn't pick any day shot
2) funny how "happy" Superman above is when Superman literally witnessed Lois dying in his arms while "sad" Superman is the one learning fly for the first time
Unreal how much better Superman character is when he's bright. He's supposed to be a hopeful symbol, kind, and compassionate ... not batman dark.
he was in MOS
Superman was hopefull and bright in MoS, the world around him was dark.
"Same character" lol
This video definitely helps you
