    Important thing to note, for those who may not know: the clap is _not_ a cue for the actors to start performing. Actors do not begin until the director calls action, which comes after slating.

      @@blockmasterscott It's not obvious. The reason for that is to ensure that nothing gets missed waiting on the camera. So, the camera and audio gear will start, then the clapper board then after that the director will decide to start the actual scene The other way of thinking is that the clapperboard needs to come before whatever it is that you're trying to film, so the actors can't start acting until after it is out of frame. Likewise, it is part of the record of the take, so the camera and needs to be rolling and the sound itself used to be used to help sync the sound sources. Although these days, most folks use timecode generators if they're doing anything significant just because they don't need to take the time to sync the frame to the sound itself, the time code and video editing gear do that for you.

    The first movie I ever worked on was as a camera intern. The movie starred Jeff Goldblum, Rory Cochrane, Rosanna Arquette, Samuel Jackson (I remember asking who he was then) and Famke Janssen (her debut movie). I learned a lot on that movie (though a lot of what I learned applied to film). I was very lucky to have been a part of it. The camera crew even trusted me to slate a couple scenes. I remember slating a scene with Jeff Goldblum and Famke Jansen and a crew from Entertainment Tonight was there taping us filming the scene which made me even more nervous. I'm in the ET archives somewhere. I wish I could see it.
    One thing I remember the camera crew telling me is that when you slate the scene, you don't have to say the word SCENE in front of the scene number. Just say the number. You know the first number is a scene. You do say TAKE in front of that number. I see a lot of "low budget indie" production camera crews say "Scene" in front of the scene number when slating. Watch this video closely, you'll notice the "professional" crews are not saying the word scene before the scene number. Also, when shooting sound, the slate should be open when put into frame. Don't put the slate in frame closed, then open it to clack it. Closed sticks in frame means MOS. The video here says different, but I was dealing with "dummy" sticks in the film days. The video shows a "smart" slate, so maybe it's changed.
    On my first "indie" production (which was a complete disaster), the slate we used was used on The Godfather Part 3 which I thought was cool. It somehow "disappeared" after the production fell apart.

      Wow thanks for sharing...quick question so basically clapper boards or slates are used to make post more easier to edit film...is that correct? So the editor knows what scenes are good to use or what scenes director wants or don't want...and if sound is used it's easier for editor to match two scenes together to match the sound ..have I understood it correctly?

    • @DyenamicFilms
      @DyenamicFilms ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@smann7236 Yes. That is basically correct. Sync the picture to sound and identify the scene, take number, etc. so it's easier in post production. I did make a short film (on digital HD) with no clapperboard at all before, but I was the one shooting and editing so I knew what everything was. The sound was recorded from the camera (not a separate recorder), so I didn't need to sync the sound either. If you don't have a slate, you can always clap your hands in front of the camera which I've also done to act as a sort of slate to sync sound.

Making indie film is doable but having it released in cinema or shown in film festival is completely different ballgame..

    To go back to the very early sound films a hand clap from an actor was also used. End slates are also used in some special effects / armoury scenes where pyro devices are triggered by blank gunfire. The sound clapper can accidently trigger the pyro if a 'audio trigger switch' is used. I can't say much more because I don't want to give away all the film industry secrets which need to be kept secret squirrel.

    A tip for anyone who will be slating anything soon, for an ideal positioning you want to take the focal length of the lens and divide it by 10 - and then hold the slate that far away! Ie 50mm lens = roughly 5 feet away, 75mm lens = slate 7 and a half feet away etc! Also some loaders tend to tilt the whole board down before clapping as general practice just to make sure that the ‘clap’ of the sticks is definitely in frame ! This is also done on tighter shots where you might not have a smaller board accessible.

      Yes, even a smaller production like the one I was in as a kid is still a pretty complicated thing to get right. I don't remember there being a clapperboard involved, but that was the '80s and by that point, timecode was already a thing and the tape that I got later on was for production use and had the timecode displayed so that when they did the editing, they could use that. Presumably the audio gear they were using to record also had the same timecode as well.
      With that stuff, there's little point to the clapper part of the board, you just need something to keep track of which takes are where.

      @MarkFilipAnthony ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think it depends on what the story and message one want the film to be about.
      Often the first scene establishes the theme of a film, maybe a antagonist struggles and reason of action will be reflected in similar way to the Main protagonist along the story.
      Starting with the protagonist will maybe therfore do the opposite. Introduce a theme that will affect the antagonist later, and it's their reaction to that theme that moves the plot

    It's useful for huge productions, that have several hours of media to go over in post production. The DIT will log the dailies (coverage) into bins for easier access in post production. On big productions, the 2nd AC (assistant camera) will be in charge of actually "slating". 1st AC should be able to slate in case the 2nd AC is not on set (rarely, if ever happens). In fact, everyone in the camera department should know how to slate properly. The crazy thing is this: the sound department is responsible for providing, and setting up the smart slate(s). Dummy slates are usually in both the Camera Department and Sound Department, and are not very expensive. Smart slates usually cost $900+.

    My dad was a member of the DGA and was a voting member of the academy awards. I have his chalk board clapper board (pre-digital, no time code and not a white board).
    It has so much gaffer tape residue on the back from different scenes and productions he used it on.

    I'm trying to increase the quality of my videos/become more efficient with the process. This was extremely useful for someone with no background in filmaking. Thanks!

    Amazing! I had no idea! Something I felt was so inconsequential to a film is actually a major vertebrae in backbone to the process of filming.
    I am definitely going to subscribe! If this detailed description of a common (to me) everyday object, to which, actually has profound meaning then I'm a fan of this channel.
    Thank you!

    If you are recording yourself, literal hand-clapping can be a godsend when figuring out where each of your takes are. If you can clap where the camera can see your hands come together even better. The big spikes on the audio timeline are super easy to find.

    • @SmallSpoonBrigade
      @SmallSpoonBrigade ปีที่แล้ว

      It can be, but at this point, time code generators aren't exactly expensive. A software time code generator that can be fed into the mic jack of a camera can be had for less than a $20 dollars and makes the hand clapping largely pointless. The main thing that the clapping does beyond that is make it easy to visually see the takes as you scan through the video.

    I don't know how I ended up coming to this video, but I'm glad I did. The question of how this all works has apparently been lingering in the back of my mind for a lifetime. 😊

    Awesome video. In Europe the slate is treated a bit different. We start with slate 1, take 1. Slate 2, take 1 etc.
    And every 1111, 2222 ,3333 etc. slate there is champagne for everybody!

    I'm just a tourist on this channel: I've never been involved with movie production and I never will be. Nevertheless, I know that your videos have made me better at scriptwriting because 10 seconds after I said to myself, "They are about to tell us, 'You can use a clapperboard and our software to make a great movie,'" you told us just that. You've trained me well.
