    Which tip do you find most useful?

    • @KofiYeboah
      @KofiYeboah 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My big one is #3, it’s so easy to shoot a profile of a person and leave thinking “oh that’s cool” and then never think about that film again, you’re right it’s really important to make sure your films answer questions , thanks Mark !

    Very good video with actionable advice. Summary below but encouraging everyone to watch to get the most out of the advice given:
    1. Find your ending first
    2. Show, don't tell
    3. Your film needs to have a question
    4. Show the physical journey and the emotional journey of your character
    5. Find out what makes your character unique

    Love it Mark. In the same way that you say "a character with no flaws isn't interesting", I'd love to hear you discuss what things you could have done better in your past films. I want to learn from your mistakes just as much as your successes!

  • @BelindaFarage

    These are spot on - I’ve been editing for a number of years - but it’s Always good to remind yourself of why your editing a certain way. I find after a while I get redundant and automatic with my edits - partially because I’m always under a deadline. These are exactly the tips I needed to refresh and reset my mind. Thanks Mark!

  • @itsakanksha.k

  • @tratixMinecraft
    @tratixMinecraft ปีที่แล้ว +3

    this was extremely insightful. it's interesting to me how these concepts have floated around in my head but sometimes it's hard to piece it together just right until someone points it out. and i think that's what this video just did for me. it helps ground my thoughts into a foundation and i feel like i now have a good starting point to be able to work on a more proper story. i even took notes so i can properly go back to each of these tips and try to actively apply them in the future

  • @MichaelWarthStudios
    @MichaelWarthStudios 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    As my videos are more or less a how to paint type of thing, I really want to incorporate this mindset into all my videos. Thanks for these tips, Mark. Eventually I’ll figure out how to make mini-docs about being an artist while teaching the audience how to paint. The big takeaway here for me is asking and answering a question within the story.
    My skills are not centered around filmmaking and I just want to stand out as a TH-camr with great visuals and story telling. This video really helps me more than you may know.

    A while back you switched up the way you make videos. since then you really started to glow and I enjoyed watching your videos more. It's better to see people being natural and themselves rather than trying too hard to be something they're not in order to go with the trends. However, i think its hard to start without doing it because you need a launch to start getting an audience before your transition like yours. I'm glad you're in a position where you can focus mostly on passion. I've learned a lot from your videos so thank you. Currently waiting for my gear and start my own journey full force. Gotta own this summer! Love from Ireland, keep creating.

    In my continue search for acceptance you just gave me a massage amount of reassurance. When I write I usually will write the last sentence first. I always thought "You just do things the hard way", so to hear someone I respect so much give this advice is a massive boost of confidence. Much love and positive vibes.

    That first tip just blew my mind. You hear this concept in self help books. One of my favorite authors Napoleon Hill always talks about having the end in mind. In fact it’s vital to truly have direction and not get distracted so easily. I would have never thought about applying this to film 🎞 This is about to both challenge me and help me at the same time. Has starting at the end gotten any easier for you over time?
    Also congratulations on your full length film. You are awesome at what you do. Super inspirational. Underrated on this platform. But who cares. The people you bring value to is enough! Thank you for creating this even in your hectic schedule.
