The editing for this video is just spot on. Amazing pacing in the way you give excellent examples while still giving them time to breathe and express the points you're trying to convey. Awesome video!
I love this channel. I feel like I've gotten more information about filmmaking from this channel than I did when studying film in college. I love all the content you put out here. Thank you.
I think the movie Twister (1996) has one of the best dinner scenes in cinema history. It really communicated a shared experience through the close up shots, and punched some great emotional scenes.
absolutely brilliant 'best dinner scenes in movies' ! a micro view of all moviemaking is about... was completely flabbergasted when the chaplin bread dance appeared at the end cause I could just put it all together... the video essay could keep on with chaplin for another half an hour on that dinner alone... thanks, the experience of deconstructing and analysing dinner scenes did enhance the appreciation... cheers from Rio - italian dinner will be served shortly.
My favorite dinner scene is the one in "The Party" where Peter Sellers character is trying to eat his chicken with his knife and fork and it somehow flies onto this lady's hair in front of him and then Steve Franken who played the waiter goes to retrieve the chicken, but ends up taking the lady's wig with him and sets the chicken and wig onto Seller's character's plate. Also, the scene where Franken is serving the guests salad using his hands instead of the tongs.
It’s not a dinner table per day but the seating arrangement in the study room in the show community perfectly reflects the characters and how they play on each other
Just just it's one of my favorite movies, what do you think of the dinner scene in Sicario? Gets me emotionally every damn time! Great video as always. Mucho amor
You chose some great examples of dinner scenes that were more than just something for the actors to do while talking and actually advanced the plots of their movies but one other example that I would have included is the dinner scene in Alien which ended with the introduction of the title character.
The other Voice Over made all the difference in your videos... is not that this one is bad, just not on the same level. That voice made the videos stand out from all youtube generic stuff
I am very much interested in shooting dinner scenes. Thankyou and can you do Alfred Hitchcock directing style just once. Because you've never mentioned him in past few episodes.
If you want to see more dinner scenes czech cinema is a full menu, I've binge watched a lot of them and I've never seen so many movies with scenes with food and/or people at the table.
I start with medium 2 shot Then followed by close ups Then over the shoulder Then breaking the 180 degree shots Then inserts shot which will help in editing
@@StudioBinder noop Depends on the mood and situations I shall use different lens colour grades costumes Then go with differnt shots You people are amazing studio binders
How they portrait the politicians when they want to conquer a country how for them it's just like ordering food from a menu , the dialogue the acting the laugh , it's just amazing , what do you think?
This is probably not a well-known movie in US. Let the Bullets Fly (2005) has one of the most extraordinary dinner scene. It flies into my brian when seeing this title.
If the creators of this amazing youtube channel want to really trascend as the place on the internet where every film lover discovers how to learn the important things abouts this craft, they should start using scenes from movies done all around the world. I love this channel, but the aproach is only based in american(Hollywood) movies , there are multiple ways to see all the concepts they talk about on their videos, not only the american(Hollywood) way. Please spread your mind StudioBinder, we will all win. Thank you.
I wouldn’t say you missed it but the movie ‘Novecento’ 1900 by Bernardo Bertolucci - where you can see the hard working people eating like a family, the lighting was the sunset and it was nothing but joy. Than switched scenes to the fascist landowners where the family was arguing and they had no sun so they had to use candles for lighting.

Had no idea dinner scenes could be so elaborate!
Just the nature of filmmaking 👌
The dinner scene between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the heat is a masterpiece!
It was a... heated conversation
They were just having a cup of coffee, like a couple regular guys......
The editing for this video is just spot on. Amazing pacing in the way you give excellent examples while still giving them time to breathe and express the points you're trying to convey. Awesome video!
Thanks! We love our editors ❤️
this channel has been consistently delivering food for thought... kudos!!

Agreed, it's a classic!
"And hey, if you're ever on a film set and someone tells you it's just a dinner scene, maybe it's time you excused yourself".. well done as usual SB!
Food if emphasised becomes crucial part of a film.
Bhaukaal Bhaiya
Definitely - what are your favorite examples?
StudioBinder definitely Signs
@@StudioBinder Hereditary is a great one.
@@StudioBinder I have to go with the strudel scene in Inglourious Basterds.
"wait for the cream"
you guys are bringing out the best content during these times you're awesome!!
What we love to do!
Incredible video; after 13 years i'm finally directing my first feature and there is a dinner scene there :)
Thanks for this! It really helps with a short film project I’m doing right now!

Your channel truly has the best filmmaking content on the internet
Am I the only one who liked the video from the start 'cause I already know it's gon' be good? 😅
Cheers!
Let me guess: blocking and staging?...
Yes, and more 😉
It’s not a dinner table per day but the seating arrangement in the study room in the show community perfectly reflects the characters and how they play on each other
Good use of blocking 👌
5:57 Hans Zimmer - Joi (from the Blade Runner 2049 Soundtrack)
👍
List of background music too plz
Just just it's one of my favorite movies, what do you think of the dinner scene in Sicario? Gets me emotionally every damn time! Great video as always. Mucho amor
Loved it, Sicario would've been a good scene to break down too
I know this is a series and not a film, but the family dinner from Fleabag is one of the most entertaining scenes I’ve watched
That counts too!
I can watch this channel all day long!
Thank you so much to collecting these dinner scenes. I am straggaling to edit my table scene and looks like it gives me some idea.
Not a "Dinner Scene" but that eating scene in "A Ghost Story" stayed with me.
What did you like most about the scene?
@@StudioBinder The feeling of anger, grief, sadness of the woman and the contemplation of the ghost gave me 2 perpectives about that kind situation
Color Purple dinner scene is EPIC!!
You guys are amazing 😭😭
Thanks for watching!
You chose some great examples of dinner scenes that were more than just something for the actors to do while talking and actually advanced the plots of their movies but one other example that I would have included is the dinner scene in Alien which ended with the introduction of the title character.
Yes, Alien did have an explosive dinner scene
I love this Channel and it’s content 💝😁❤️💖 , not a long time since I started watching it but became my favorite already 👌✌️💪
Welcome!
How in-depth. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thanks for this video 😍
Cheers!
The dinner scene from 4 Months 3 Weeks 2 Days has always stood out to me.
Thanks! Help me a lot with my project! ❤
I'd definitely name your channel in the credits in my future projects ❣
Looking forward to it!
On Dinner Details Filmmakers Direct their Films Great 👍!
If they know what they're doing!
This was...superb. I'll be back for 2nds.
I really like how you explain the scene..👍👍 I have become a big fan of this channel.
Thanks for being here!
The other Voice Over made all the difference in your videos... is not that this one is bad, just not on the same level. That voice made the videos stand out from all youtube generic stuff
We love both!
Hey studiobinder ur videos made me hungry so I'm marching to the kitchen right now. Anyway another great video folks
Should watch the video over dinner 😂
@@StudioBinder yes some cinnacti and fava beans
@@StudioBinder good u guys pls break down the directing style of taika watti the next time pls.
Another excellent video! Thank you.
👌
I think, best dinner scene is "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover". Well, a whole movie is one big dinner scene.
Not just a dinner scene!
@@StudioBinder yes. I think, that this is a most complex dinner scene ever filmed.
Pretty excited for Villeneuve's dinner scene in Dune
Excited to see the film in general!
Very effective video thnx studio binder
Cheers!
always waiting for new videos...
New video every Monday!
So many great examples here!!!
The Shrek 2 dinner scene is iconic.
dinner table, round table, poker table, conference table
love me a table scene where we see many characters interact
Right? Perfect setting for dialogue
Technically ended up not being dinner but that scene in Silver Lining’s Playbook where she goes crazy in the diner always enraptured me
It counts for us!
Dinner scene in 'Alice doesn't live here anymore' was something I really liked
5:57 always great to hear the blade runner 2049 soundtrack
It's a banger 👌
the dinner scene from Shrek 2 is unironically fantastic
Big Night has an incredible dinner scene.
What's the film at 2:32? I couldn't see the title due to the colour of the table.
The Master
@@StudioBinder Thanks!
The scene from Godfather 2
The first two Godfather films both had great dinner scenes
Damn I gotta use this knowledge
link us to your future film!
@@StudioBinder for sure!!
I am very much interested in shooting dinner scenes. Thankyou and can you do Alfred Hitchcock directing style just once. Because you've never mentioned him in past few episodes.
He's definitely on the list!
If you want to see more dinner scenes czech cinema is a full menu, I've binge watched a lot of them and I've never seen so many movies with scenes with food and/or people at the table.
A master piece video. I am from Pakistan.
You have no idea how hard it is for to write dialogue, thank you so much.
But, does these notes apply to diner scenes?
They do
I start with medium 2 shot
Then followed by close ups
Then over the shoulder
Then breaking the 180 degree shots
Then inserts shot which will help in editing
Is this your process for every dinner scene you shoot?
@@StudioBinder noop
Depends on the mood and situations
I shall use different lens colour grades costumes
Then go with differnt shots
You people are amazing studio binders
What’s the music in the background I was loving it
2:09 "You aren't eating" can you please tell me the name of that movie ?
breaking bad used dinner/break fast scenes effortlessly
Do you have a favorite meal scene from the series?
Shrek 2 did a great job with the dinner sequence, mostly because it's relatable.
This is very nice and useful video....pls can u upload a video essay on NIGHT LAMP in movies.
You missed The Untouchables, both Al Capone (and his gang) & Eliot Ness (and his friends) scenes
Great video!
Those are great scenes too!
Helpful ☘️
The Restaurant Scene from Heat and Michael's dinner with Sollozzo and McCluskey scene from The Godfather...
Chef's Kiss.
Pardon the pun.
Pardon granted
Do all director shoot a master shot first? Is it mandatory to shoot that master shot completely?
That's common but it's not mandatory at all. Every director has their own approach and it seems the best adapt to the scene
can you please put the title of the movie when you show the clip so that we can also know where that scene came from... please please
Titles are on the lower right corner
How the hell no one mentioned When Harry Met Sally's iconic dinner scene. "I'll have what she's having" 😍
I love the dinner scene in coraline
The dinner scene in spiderman was good enough to engage in this video I think
food in the hannibal tv show and the movies is extremely important too
That is very true 😂
I like dinner scene from God father 2 and i like the Tarantino and Scorsese's potrayal and emphasising of food🍴🍕🍔
Classic scenes 👌
You didn't mention the movements of camera (vs cuts)
How about the dinner scene from Vice , or was it a lunch? Anyway
It's amazing
What did you like about the scene?
How they portrait the politicians when they want to conquer a country how for them it's just like ordering food from a menu , the dialogue the acting the laugh , it's just amazing , what do you think?
I read the title and I was something like : For real?
Did you like it?
@@StudioBinderOf course ! I love all of your videos .
Apocalypse Now: Both the plantation dinner and the scene when Captain Willard gets his orders... those prawns......
U missed EPIC 7 MINUTE uncut dinner scene from 4MONTHS 3WEEKS 2DAYS
That's a great scene too!
Man, Jojo Rabbit was so good! Also that was one of the best table scenes, it explained so much about the characters.
And still kept the light-hearted tone of most of the film
@@StudioBinder IKR!
What’s the movie called with Mathew brodick in it? Can’t find it
dinner scene from In The Mood For Love
"Anyone from India".
Thanks for this video...
List of background music too plz
I wonder if these scenes are part of the real meal time. :)
You mean for the crew and cast? They get their set meal breaks
@@StudioBinder Yes, I mean the crew and the cast. Thanks for the answer. :)
Oh...I love StudioBinder.
We love our viewers!
Succession should be discussed here
What do you like about its dinner scenes?
StudioBinder portrays conflict between multiple characters well and the hand held camera makes for some great reaction shots
This is probably not a well-known movie in US. Let the Bullets Fly (2005) has one of the most extraordinary dinner scene. It flies into my brian when seeing this title.

Odds of you covering this were slim but Jeruslema: Gangster's Paradise has a few dinner scenes that we outstanding.
Do video about Indian cinema
Any suggestions?
Kublangi nights,moothon, lagan ,mother India, jallikattu
Focus on kublangi nights and moothon
@@StudioBinder Drishyam
I kept thinking about BIG NIGHT, RATATOUILLE, and KING KONG dining on fresh octopus.
When I hear fresh octopus and dinner, I think of Oldboy 😅
@@StudioBinder Absolutely! Much more graphic and cinematic.
Other brutal dining scenes come to mind: HANNIBAL and the Spanish movie THE PLATFORM.
PERFECT STRANGERS Dinner Scenes
Great choice!
Whdre's the dinner scene in August Osage County??
You missed the dinner scene in David Byrne's True Stories, with Spalding Gray.
I believed you missed August Osage County long phenomenal dining scene
Lot of great choices to choose from!
I wouldn’t say you missed it but the movie ‘Novecento’ 1900 by Bernardo Bertolucci - where you can see the hard working people eating like a family, the lighting was the sunset and it was nothing but joy.

I can't help but think of that dinner scene from The Godfather Part III
Why no silver linings playbook
Decisions had to be made
You missed The Iconic dinner Scene From the Movie Inception.
