    Summary:
    1. Every sequence should have a beginning a middle and an end - 3 to 5 shots
    2. Every shot should either be instilling a question in the viewers mind, or it should be answering questions. The questions are who, what, why?
    3. End with a strong resolution to the sequence.
    4. Show don’t tell, leave a little mystery, a bit of something that the viewer can figure out themselves.

  • @finding_falco528
    @finding_falco528 2 года назад

    I love this, Jesse!
    There is a lot of information provided on your video for sequencing. I also love that you mentioned the time it took to make this video, as you were not expecting it to take that long. That is an inside look into storytelling and is relevant to many newcomers, which is learning to understand that filming the video sequences can take a lot of time and not get discouraged by it.
    I struggle with this a lot. I never started my channel for many reasons, but one of them is timing and sequencing. I have what you call an archive of videos I have recorded in the past two years waiting for me to build up enough courage and confidence to put my stuff out there for the world to see. Maybe one day I'll use this format to tell my story, so for now, ill do what I have always done with videos like yours and add them to my video library.
    Thank you, Jesse!

    Definitely appreciate the TIME & DEDICATION you bring to the table for the industry of video creation this is another GIANT of a video I would say CLEARLY communicates what needs to be done as it relates to creating better videos and actually TELLING A STORY without actually telling the story. Great Job Jesse. I've been a follower since idk....... I started following you lol

    Okay - so i have to say i bought your moment course, i just recently bought Chris Hau's course as well. i didn't realize what i was looking for in both courses was this video. I don't know how to explain it but this so perfectly explains why you make a sequence not how. I feel like so many creators teach you how to make a sequence - hell i've even seen that Hitchcock clip million times. This was so well done that this 9 minute video could be sold like a course.
