For the pops, you can set your default audio transition to a super short cross fade, then select your whole timeline and hit Cmd+Shift+D in Premiere to apply it to everything 👍
OMG!!! MISTAKE 8!!! I gave someone feedback on their short where literally 2/3 of the film is him wakimg up, having breakfast going for a run, taking a shower, going to work, watching tv. LOL.
Getting into a scene late and out early is such great advice! Cut out everything that is not essential! If you can cut it out, it's extra, so cut it out.
8:17 this example from The Rock is actually a good way to incorporate a lot of exposition into a scene. Watched without context like this it can maybe feel a bit on the nose, sure, but in the context of the story and the very previous scene, it makes prefect sense for them to argue about this guy (Mason/Sean Connery's character) and what he's done/been through the past 3 decades, as it's integral to the story (he's the only person to successfully break out of Alcatraz and is a skilled escape artist). So while I agree many professional studio movies can have abysmal exposition dumps, I wouldn't categorize this barley 30 seconds scene as such.
Best advice I ever got (from a big-deal Hollywood writer) was "learn how to artfully hide the exposition." (...as he proceeded to *RIP* my script apart!) :)
I used to work as an editor for this independent streaming channel, and the producer asked why he could never see anyone talking. I told him that some of the reactions were more compelling then the actor just saying his lines, but it got me thinking that when I actually am in a group conversation, I find myself looking at everyone other than the person speaking. I just thought it was interesting since you brought it up in #10
This should be Mandatory viewing for all Filmmakers 😆🎬 I've encountered these countless times working with/judging film festivals the past 5 years. Pacing is a huge issue for most submissions, as is too much unnecessary dialog that's poorly written and acted. If you can't write compelling dialog and/or have inexperienced actors, cut it out and get more creative with telling the story visually. I'm glad you mentioned the "fade to black" transition as it's always irritated me even as a kid many years ago. The fade to black is sacred and only use it before end credits unless absolutely necessary to the plot. In festivals (without exception) a fade to black always makes the live audience think the film has ended and they start clapping which means the next scene is awkward because they miss whatever audio or dialog starts while they're still clapping lol.
I just wanna take this moment to thank film right for doing what they do as it’s really helped me in my filmmaking journey you could say. I’ve just completed my first film project for media in secondary school or high school as you call it in America. I couldn’t of done it without film riot. So what I wanna say is just thank you so much and keep doing what you’re doing you’re really helping a lot of people realise their dreams.
My American ass thought you were in college until I read the high school part T-T that's so cool! Im just now (in 10th grade) starting to move off of iMovie where Ive been stuck since 4th grade to after effects/premiere pro and I completely agree! His videos are very helpful!
Thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind when I'm filmmaking! Would you guys consider making an updated video on tips and techniques of writing, shooting, and editing music videos?
Every time I hear the advice about not starting a movie by showing your characters waking up and rolling out of bed I think about the TV show Medium, which literally opens EVERY SINGLE EPISODE this way. That show is absolute gold in the worst possible way..
yaayyyy !!!!!! the ultimate online filmmaking academy. you guys are amazing. thanks for helping all this creators with so much of valuable informations 😇
I need this, I catch some of my mistakes on set, others in the kitchen (editing) but I don’t know anyone that I can get experienced filmmaking feed back from thank you
@@jetty_sound I´ll try. I shot a movie on the day Film riot released the announcement. (Video was uploaded while I was shooting) but I´ll try to get a band together for another cool story I´d like to do for the competition.
You are somewhere beyond great film riot....I am happy that I am following you for years...You are indeed a great teacher for me...Thank you ❤️❤️❤️Love from India 🎈
After seeing # 1, I wonder if, through my own creative process, I have learned to filter out my first few ideas to keep them from reaching my consciousness, because what I consider my "first" idea is often what drives me and turns out to be really cool and unique. At first, I saw #1 and thought, "That's terrible! Sometimes the first idea is the one that inspires you!" Then I realized that I've probably trained myself over the years to subconsciously go through a series of thoughts before I even get to the one that inspires me. So I would say definitely go with your first INSPIRATIONAL idea--because every idea has been done already, and now the trick is to do a unique and interesting version it, and that's not going to happen unless you're inspired by your content. DO NOT arbitrarily disregard your first big idea then struggle to think of something else on general principle. Go with your gut. BUT ALSO--and I think this is what he meant by #1--do not just go with the first random thing that lazily pops into your head while offering little inspiration, because it will most likely have been done to death.
I want to act for you guys so bad! I’ve watched you guys for so long and have given me so much inspiration and knowledge when making my own stuff. You guys do it the right way and you can tell you you guys are a family, which is something I’m trying to build for myself. One day!!! ✌️
I cannot express how valuable your content is to beginners like me. Not only are the tips great, but learning so much and getting a good explanation on how and why really motivates me to start on the next project and improve myself!
Mistake 1: going with the first idea, "think differently". Mistake 2: audio pops on cuts (audio cut from one clip to other) "add a very short crossfade between the two clips". Mistake 3: audio only coming from one channel. " in premiere just use the fill effect, fill right with left" *check with headphones*. Mistake 4: not committing to the moment, (actors not giving their fullest) (when the person in front of the lens will be acting and then just stop after lens is focussed on opposite person who he spoke to) "its the directors job". Mistake 5: transition from one scene to another. How ur changing audience emotion from one scene to another ''Planning ahead if time". Mistake 6: Music. If you take the music to a 10 where the scene/emotion really needed a 5 then your gonna end up with laughable results. Mistake 7: overly expositional dialouge (also dont let characters say their or others name so much time). Mistake 8:
I actually made the “front credits” mistake in my own short film. I have since re-cut it to put the credits at the end, and that cut is what’s on my channel right now.
Having characters say each other’s name helps the viewer remember names. Just pay attention to every show on tv. They constantly spout one another’s names. It also how movie themes constantly play through out a movie so the audience remember that ost.
"Arrive late and leave early" and "show don't tell" are good (actually brilliant) take aways. One thing I cannot find anywhere is 'recommended' sequence length. First answer can be "that depends" and yes that is correct and maybe this question belongs to the work in the cut or edit section of whatever NLE but it is related and if someone can shed some light on what works and what is comme il faut I believe it is you guys. What I am searching for is recommendations on how to cut/edit interesting. E.g. do not go below 1 second from the same camera or angle and at the other end never exceed 8 seconds ? Examples: Snatch (2000/Guy Ritchie) describe flight travel in a number a ultra short sequences (almost stacked stills) whereas Baby Driver (2017/Edgar Wright) use slightly longer sequences (sometimes panning) unless its a car chase; but even then the sequences are longer and more of a switch between A-, B-, C- and whatever-cameras. I do believe that it related to "arrive late and leave early" cutting, but do guideline on sequences lengths exist ? Much appreciated .. and so are your work and humor. /Per (Denmark/Europe)
Yet again, one of the most under talked about things new filmmakers don't grasp is fair scheduling, getting basic releases, contracts, etc. I won't be putting it on this channel I am commenting with but I am going to have a podcast coming in 2022 that will cover the business side of filmmaking and all things non creative. Creativity is such a subjective argument, and Ryan, I know you have acknowledged this, but the business side is one you can so easily ruin yourself with legally, if you are not careful. Much easier to recover from a creative failure than a legal one.
Years ago I taught a beginning filmmaking class (on Super-8 film which tells you how long ago) and I outlawed the "getting ready for your day sequences." I still do it today. I hate those scenes.
Biggest crimes involving the "As You know" dialogue in recent memory has been the 2nd season of Outer Banks, and the newest Shyamalan film OLD. The last 20 minutes of that film were shockingly un believable. Super helpful reminders guys! Thanks
Ryan, you’re the coolest guy ever. I must say, we’ve all failed by making these mistakes in our first film or two (usually the first); however, failure is the pillar in which success stands. Without failure, there is no success to build upon. Some years ago, the film industry was more impossible to break into and less competitive; today, it is the opposite (like everything else - thanks to technology advancements) but the key to success has remained the same. Not giving up.
🔥🔥This is 110% solid facts for films I see from most filmmakers new and old. Great video to just send 1st time and more seasoned filmmakers to try and keep together from 1 till 10 in all films period.❤
I can't stress enough the importance of Mistake number 5. The number of times I've made this error is infuriating. And it hurts like a bitch once in the editing room. Always good to be reminded, thank you!
The opening for The Equalizer would be too slow for a short film, but worked wonderfully to illustrate what kind of person our star is. We learn he is almost OCD about his life, but as the movie progresses, we understand that he is more concerned with effency. Therefore any thing he does is deliberate.
My biggest problem is the pop off at the ends of clips. Mainly because when I film something my actors feel need to get there lines out as fast as they can. Not leaving the space in between the cuts.
@@OwenTuson02 I enjoyed the first one too. It added to the comedic effect. At least the first two cuts. The proceeding could be tightened. This is why its so hard to edit..
You and your friends are good actors 😀I love that guy behind the other guy, he's like the best example of a good actor who doesn't have many lines but actually makes the comedy for the whole scene (by reacting). And I think that for comedy that first "wrong way" to cut it worked better because of that. It was awkward but for that kind of comedy... well. It's supposed to be like that. The second editing was still wrong for that type of scene in that genre 😀But yeah, yeah, I know what you meant. Just saying that that editing style is actually good in some use and doing it "right" might not be always the right way to do it.
I was on the process of making the storyboard for my first film. And I had scenes from the protagonist wake up, poop to get out of the house, you saved me
at 5:09 timeline you told ,, it is increadible easy to get free or cheap quality music'' I disagree with this statement you said, you can receive pretty good music(songs) for personal videos or non commercial videos, BUT for any type of commercial projects, impossible to find websites for free music, and if are few, they require you to list their song names or website in your video. However thanks for telling about musicbed, hopefully they dont charge huge commision for small bussiness.
The credits one is 100% true. And in the same vein, I’ll add the pathetic information of “shot in just (insert number of days/hours)” and “I’m just (insert age somewhere between 12 and 20)”. If you have to use those as qualifiers, it only says two things: 1 - your film isn’t strong enough to stand on its feet and you’re hoping people will be gentle with it; 2 - you are trying to flex your ego and therefore should be in a different line of work.
I am quickly becoming enamored with your content! Thanks again for this information! Now to get my business partners in line with some of these ideas haha.
Useful as always. A couple things… Are there point for those who find a way to pack all these into a 60 second clip? Also, suing you guys for stealing my script for Stomach Ache Breakfast script. I poured my SOUL into that, Ryan!!! My SOUL!!!
For the pops, you can set your default audio transition to a super short cross fade, then select your whole timeline and hit Cmd+Shift+D in Premiere to apply it to everything 👍

Getting into a scene late and out early is such great advice! Cut out everything that is not essential! If you can cut it out, it's extra, so cut it out.
Best example of expositional dialogue: "The Terminator" placed most of the expositional dialogue in the middle of a chase scene.
100% agree with the tips. All great ones to keep in mind when creating any type of video!
8:17 this example from The Rock is actually a good way to incorporate a lot of exposition into a scene.

More of this please! As a brand new film maker the super practical stuff (like demonstrating how to cut dialogue scenes) is incredibly helpful. More!
This should be Mandatory viewing for all Filmmakers 😆🎬 I've encountered these countless times working with/judging film festivals the past 5 years.
Pacing is a huge issue for most submissions, as is too much unnecessary dialog that's poorly written and acted. If you can't write compelling dialog and/or have inexperienced actors, cut it out and get more creative with telling the story visually.

I recommend Garth Merengi's Dark Place for a great example of everything not to do. It's like they made The Room, but on purpose.
Also how not to broadcast, with respect to everyone but the Peruvian market (thank God for the Peruvian market)
Thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind when I'm filmmaking! Would you guys consider making an updated video on tips and techniques of writing, shooting, and editing music videos?
Love mistake 10, you can finesse pacing more and more with more time and that’s when you get the best results! Great video 🙌🏼
Every time I hear the advice about not starting a movie by showing your characters waking up and rolling out of bed I think about the TV show Medium, which literally opens EVERY SINGLE EPISODE this way. That show is absolute gold in the worst possible way..
The opening scene to season 2 of Lost is the best example of showing someone's mundane morning routine adding to the story.

Wow thanks this year it be my 1st time to be entering any movie competition which I am not sure if they've commenced; this helps me a lot!
Fairly new to the channel but this is my favorite video so far. I love getting the big mistakes and seeing examples. Great video.
I actually made the “front credits” mistake in my own short film. I have since re-cut it to put the credits at the end, and that cut is what’s on my channel right now.
The cutting of the dialogues reminds me of something in the book "Blink of an eye"
Super helpful for new filmmakers and hilarious too! Great job guys!
Would love to see a full short purposefully making all these mistakes

12:13 - One of the single most useful tips I have ever heard...
Having characters say each other’s name helps the viewer remember names. Just pay attention to every show on tv. They constantly spout one another’s names. It also how movie themes constantly play through out a movie so the audience remember that ost.
A cool way to edit dialogue I picked up was to edit the audio first, and then place the visuals on it.
Great Tips Ryan! I will def take this to heart in my future shorts!
Pretty sure that transition to music bed was planned in pre-production
