    The “pro” look does not need to be “expensive” but it does take a lot of time. Call times on pro video sets are often 5-6am and shooting with the “talent” doesn’t start till 11-noon! Each shot is set up, lit, tested with stand ins, tweaked and perfected (often before the talent is on set!)
    Planning, planning planning. Professional results come from experience and attention to all the details.

  • @Outtromedia
    @Outtromedia 3 года назад +1

    A couple things that adds a professional look is Editing & Color Grading. I feel like a lot of upcoming directors overlook that and another thing is just simply PRE-Production like actually taking the time to come up with a valuable concept and executing it in a Professional fashion. The two things that you mentioned are true but a lot people won’t simply take their time with their projects to do Pre & Post Production to make Real Art.

    Great video! Looking at old B&W Hollywood movies.. the costuming, set design, and lighting all had to work together to sell the point of the scene. The only other things missing from achieving the "professional look" is exposure and composition.

    a easy way I think you can give your videos a more pro look is to incorporate smooth zooms and pans into you B-roll. that simple zoom does a lot! also try to master your cameras exposure settings

    I've shot a bunch of music videos and I watch them all the time, and one of the things I think bothers me most is "continuity." Now this usually tends to happen when the director or artist is trying to get across some cinematic element in a shoot, but since it's a music video time constraints don't allow them to get in all the parts of a scene that would make sense. It's like the worst cliff hangers ever.

    100% Facts Homie..... I always tell the artist to buy new clothes and try and match the color scheme and get a haircut and definitly brush their teeth and get the eye boogers out of their eyes and lotion up so the don't look ashy because the camera is going to pick up every little flaw... lent, yellow teeth ect ect...

    Would you know of a camera(s) in the $800-$1000 range that would be pretty decent? I'm not ever going to do this for a living, but I want to not only make my own music videos, but I wrote a song trilogy and the music video treatment for the three songs make them come together into a 15 minute short film type of thing. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro and have been looking on RUclips the past few weeks to expand my knowledge, I didn't even know what LUTs were. And now I'm starting to feel like my GoPro Hero 7 that I use on my scuba diving trips isn't going to get me the quality I want. So I'd like to get a camera where I can change out the lens and get different focal lengths. And have more control over the aperture, shutter speed, etc. I'm hoping the camera model(s) you recommend are going to have a dive housing available as I've also wanted to upgrade my diving videos/photos, too. But I can't justify spending too, too much since I can only dive a couple times a year when I go on trips and then be making music videos for myself. Thank you.

    cinematography and color grading are the difference
    between getting paid $300 for your work vs. $5000.
    you can watch Wandering DP's channel for cinematography
    and Qazi's channel for color grading.
    But most importantly, camera gear is something only YOU care about.
    your client doesn't understand it how you do,
    since they're paying for the work, not your gear.
    So also learn sales, marketing and business.
    you can watch Futur and Flash Film Academy for that.

    I think choreography (no matter how small) could play a part too. It’s cool to be hype but if the set is in a restaurant, I don’t know if that’s they scene where you wanna be jumping around and shaking your dreads. Save that for the green screen scene or the sidewalk scene. Just in my opinion. It helps to storyline.
