that montage almost made me angry because it took me to the skies with the promise of warmth and safety and then threw me on the ground when I was totally invested. I know it was just a picture but what an absolute betrayal .
Favorite Emotional Scenes: 1. The song, "When Somebody Loved Me" gets me every single time, without fail. 2.The scene at the end of Iron Giant when he says he's Superman. 3. The End of Lord of the Rings, when Aragorn tells the Hobbits they bow to no man, and the King and everyone else, bows to them instead.
In The Breakfast Club, there's long take shots in the scene where the five protagonists are circled together talking about their inner thoughts and troubles. Those long shots helped focus in on their view points, making the scene feel emotional and real.
Great example. Also, there's a long shot of Jack Nicholson's character toward the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that's almost painfully beautiful, especially on repeat viewings, when you know what's about to happen. Superb acting.
That scene from Manchester by the Sea is among the best scenes I've ever seen in my entire life. Especially the gun moment. Casey Affleck totally deserved the Oscar for that role. I'm happy you brought that up in this video.
@@StudioBinder Exactly! I must have watched that scene at least 100 times. It's a masterclass of writing, filming, and acting. Please, include it more often.
You forgot one feeling, Excitement... and that's when a notification pops up from StudioBinder 🔥 Been following your content for years and it's one of my favorites... very informative, a subtle editing, and of course a great narration & explanation.
OMG, thank you, guys. ur video literally evokes my emotions by this video. this law of attraction or StudioBinder hacked my brain. All day yesterday, I could not stop thinking about the scene “What is Heaven” in “The Creator” movie, which affected my feelings and kept replaying and crying. ❤❤❤❤❤
“Lincoln” is a best example of emotion. Editor Michael Kahn extended each shot for several seconds or longer because it really shows the emphasis of the characters’ long dialogues and emotions (especially their eyes) and how we the audience react and how we connected to the historic people. I pretty much use the same technique to capture dramatic moments. Drama is my genre.
Cinema is Emotion. It's Always Inspiring to learn from you StudioBinder. Thousand Thanks for making this Inspiring video. Best Continuation to come for you StudioBinder.🙏💯💯💯
Fascinating video! I never knew that evoking emotions in film was such a complex and multi-faceted process. The theories of emotion outlined in this video, such as the Aristotelian concept of catharsis, really opened my eyes to the ways in which filmmakers can craft a emotional experience for their audience. I'm excited to apply this knowledge to my own film analysis and storytelling. Thanks for sharing!
What a 360 lecture on the subject of creating emotional impact in films. I love the way this video is crafted with so much insight for all the talents involved in creating a memorable film: the writer, director, cinematographer, the editor and the actors! Well done, Studio Binder. This, as most of your videos, have been deeply insightful!
Another amazing video.... thank you so much! When you played "When Somebody Loved Me" -- that really hit home. Sarah McLachlan is a legend; her voice coupled with your amazing storytelling from visuals and music to written style and camera shots from Toy Story 2 encapsulated how to make the audience feel perfectly.
Pixar nails it every time *spoiler alert for Inside Out* I’ll never forget watching Inside Out for the first time with my husband and my brother, and when Bing Bong sacrifices himself of course we were all crying a little, and my husband blurted out “I’m not gonna lie, that’s f***ing sad!” 😂
I'm not surprised because this video is great, that because all of your videos are helpful and high quality content like film School and college level.
Woo!! 🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your Release Day behind-the-scenes with us! ☺️ Omg the noise overstimulation as a mom is so real 😭 I really struggle with it! I honestly end up keeping one of my AirPods in all throughout the day and just have something playing so I can drown out some of the noise 😅 haha LOL I 1000% relate with the nesting urge to purge 🤣 I can’t even count how many trips to Goodwill I made during the last leg of my pregnancy. I’m pretty sure the drop-off employees were starting to recognize me 😂
for me, it has to feel genuine for the character. it has to feel right for that moment for that character to express exactly that reaction. an example for what I was trying to say: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SPOILER!!!-------- in the final episode, gaius saying "you know, I know about farming" and breaking into tears. It destroyed me. It was... utterly crushing. I again got shivers just by writing it. Anyway, I think I made my point.
There's a scene from In The Bedroom where Tom Wilkinson is trimming a tree after his son has been killed, and reveals steps leading up to an old tree house. For a second, there is a flash of his young son looking down at him from the tree. Wow. The whole film packs an emotional punch, but that scene wasted me. So clever and economical. It helps having superb actors of course.
I find it quite interesting that that director Fincher at 3:55, mentions all the technology and attributes it with creating feeling while not mentioning human role (be it writing, or acting) at all. I understand that it might be taken from a longer interview and I also have to admit that I have never heard of this man and know nothing of him but, purely from his statement here, it seems to me he has a disregard for humans, or at least their contribution to creating emotion. Again, I am not saying he is like that in real life, but as a director who has to work both with technology and humans, this seems to me quite telling.
This is a great observation. Fincher is known (kinda like Kubrick) for being more cold and technical. But I think this quote is more about how all the effort and technology that goes into capturing emotion and manipulating it so that a room full of people connect to it. And I think he was referring to how every filmmaker does this, not just him.
I need to say that i feel.emotion just when in the movie appear jokes and comedy when it happens like in life is beaudiful im getting touched to the character Thats why i never got emotions in movies like the pianist or the whale
A good tool to evoke emotion is to cut to actual archival footage of an important historical figure or event that is already embedded in the collective consciousness. An example is at the end of Golda, where news footage of the great woman herself is used as a postscript.
loved the first part: on the process: sense made thought generating physicalities that react emotions... let me feel about it. unfortunately the theory of empathy (for characters) works well only in the school room. mirroring emotions from characters is good teaching technique because it sounds 'logic'... it solves the mental math on how to describe the sequence in order to make clear what the character is reasoning-feeling; but emotions are not logical. it would be so lovely simple to extend thoughts into emotions and cynestesia being connected fluid and articulated. as circular orbits of planets should be simple but the observation eventually realized these really are elliptical complex. audience mirroring character feelings is not how the audience ultimately feels emotion, for the emotions of characters and the emotions of the audience are not the same. characters in moments of story stress are not aware of how they are seen from an observational pov. audience is in a cozy confortable room without stress. while character is in deep feelings the audience is watching a silent character unexpectadly interrupted from the previous dynamic. in a comedy car chase villain heroe and cops are enraged among themselves but the audience is laughing at their efforts. you may build synmpathy for the main character, but that is not enough and will not make emotion pop sing or funk. because... " There are more things between heaven and earth than our vain philosophy can imagine." it means that parallel parking will get you a ticket. B+ for the effort !
I've been using that northman track around 1 min in for a temp track on a movie I'm editing. So when that came on I was so confused. I thought Davinci was playing. lmao
Who needs our school when you have studio binder?
Make sure to take notes! You will be tested at the end 😂
I literally learned more from this channel than I did in filmschool 😂 filmschool was great for the connections tho
Thanks for saying that. We're always learning ourselves.
This Channel is complete
My film school has shown studio binder videos during class so it’s official college level learning! 👍
The “Married life” opening montage in Pixar’s Up emotes the audiences’s emotions to absolute perfection.
Heartbreaking perfection!
Cannot think of a better example than this - it is a complete movie unto itself, and reduces me to absolute tears even when I hear that music.
Yeah, that scene fucked me up 😭
that montage almost made me angry because it took me to the skies with the promise of warmth and safety and then threw me on the ground when I was totally invested. I know it was just a picture but what an absolute betrayal .
The opening scene from Up is a great example of how to give an audience an emotional experience.
Absolutely! 💯
It's the only scene in any movie that makes my cry. Michael Giacchino is a genius
Favorite Emotional Scenes:
1. The song, "When Somebody Loved Me" gets me every single time, without fail.
2.The scene at the end of Iron Giant when he says he's Superman.
3. The End of Lord of the Rings, when Aragorn tells the Hobbits they bow to no man, and the King and everyone else, bows to them instead.
Amazing scenes, right?
"You Go. I Stay" . . Emotional BOOM
Mufasa’s death would destroy me every single time when I was younger (I haven’t seen it in a while so idk how I’d react today)
...for frodo
@@LuisSierra42that scene ..Aragorn was willing to die that day ..a true man’s man …
0:51 Oh StudioBinder what a nice consideration to say in adavance what movies you're goingo to spoil!! You're the best!!!
Just watching these excerpts made me cry several times.
The scene from Manchester bts hit so hard every time. Thank you StudioBinder
In The Breakfast Club, there's long take shots in the scene where the five protagonists are circled together talking about their inner thoughts and troubles. Those long shots helped focus in on their view points, making the scene feel emotional and real.
Exactly! A long take lets us sit with them in real time. Editing can manipulate emotions but great acting uninterrupted can be supremely effective.
Great example. Also, there's a long shot of Jack Nicholson's character toward the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that's almost painfully beautiful, especially on repeat viewings, when you know what's about to happen. Superb acting.

14:35 This scene will never be forgotten by me. It also shows how static/long shots can be so powerful.
OMG, thank you, guys. ur video literally evokes my emotions by this video. this law of attraction or StudioBinder hacked my brain. All day yesterday, I could not stop thinking about the scene “What is Heaven” in “The Creator” movie, which affected my feelings and kept replaying and crying. ❤❤❤❤❤
You're very welcome! ❤
I have seen every single video in your channel, more than 4 times for every video.
Thank you and keep it up.
Man, this is just as good if not better than the grad program I'm going into a ton of debt for. So glad you're doing some more on the writing process!
StudioBinder is honestly better than certain film schools. Thank you so much for these videos
This one video has taught me more than most art masterclasses. Absolute perfection.
“Lincoln” is a best example of emotion.

That's a great technique!
As always, every episode is a masterclass with precise information.
In my understanding,, Emotion = Energy + Motion.
I am obsessed with this channel

Well done, Studio Binder. This, as most of your videos, have been deeply insightful!
Thanks! It took us quite a while to figure out the best way to do this video so we're happy it's working.
Watching this, getting ready to start my next doc. Thanks!
My week just got better ❤
Ours too! ❤
You definitely took us on an emotional journey with this one❤
This is so emotional that I had to take a break lol. Great job! Phenomenal tips!
WARNING: Be prepared to show emotions when watching this video! I'm not crying at the examples!
Dude the coco scene made me cry and IVE SEEN IT SO MANY TIMES 😢😂
Coco = instant tears.
I wish I read this comment before watching this video
I was literally just watching studio binder yesterday looking for catharsis vids for directors!❤😂 Found it!
Another amazing video.... thank you so much! When you played "When Somebody Loved Me" -- that really hit home. Sarah McLachlan is a legend; her voice coupled with your amazing storytelling from visuals and music to written style and camera shots from Toy Story 2 encapsulated how to make the audience feel perfectly.
It really is the perfect scene to study for building emotion in film.
Amazing videos as always, Studio Binder!
Thank you, again, for your understandable and comprehensive analysis. Movies are such a great tool to allow people to feel. Thanks.
You're very welcome!
Pixar nails it every time
*spoiler alert for Inside Out*

We had to go with the best of the best!
Haven't watched yet but I can already tell INSTANT CLASSIC.
Hopefully it lived up to that status!
Please make an analysis on when people direct and act in their movies
That's a great topic!
@@StudioBinderI’m doing that soon would be perfect to have a video beforehand 🤗
I needed this. Thanks for sharing
11:33 This scene is the best acting I have ever seen, it's impossible not to be empathic with Cooper.
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks from India ❤ and once day you talk about me like s.s.rajamauli guruvdu 🙏
This video's got me thinking back on all my favorite watershed moments in film.
There are so many! What are your favorites?
I was literally looking for a video on emotion... Than you guys uploaded this masterpiece 😊😊 thank you
Our pleasure!
Studio binder is the ultimate school ❤
You're too kind! Thanks for watching.
This is an important one that Andrew Stanton even himself said focus on
great video, as always
dude I am shaking rn I was listening relaxed mindfully. And of a sudden Ring scene. I burst my Tea. XD
Just Dropping this here because Anytime anyone likes this comments, I’m coming back to watch this Video 🙏💯

Wow, ok, everyone leave a comment 18 minutes and 19 seconds apart so they can watch this on a loop!

Last phrase made me emotional.
We tried! Thanks for watching.
As per usual. Great video ! Thank you ❣️🙏🏼🌞
Thanks again!
Oooo... You gave me what I asked for. Thanks Studio Binder
Happy to help!
for me, it has to feel genuine for the character. it has to feel right for that moment for that character to express exactly that reaction.
an example for what I was trying to say: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SPOILER!!!-------- in the final episode, gaius saying "you know, I know about farming" and breaking into tears. It destroyed me. It was... utterly crushing. I again got shivers just by writing it.
Anyway, I think I made my point.
Great example!
Studio Binder it's gonna be in the credit of my debut.
That would make us proud!
Another fantastic video!
Thanks ❤
this is great, thanks Studio Binder
You're welcome!
This is a fantastic topic for filmmakers. I feel like this video could have gone way further into the idea however.
For sure! This is just the beginning. We'll have to come back with a Part 2.
Looking forward for more topics about emotions in movie
We could certainly go further, this was just the tip of the iceberg!

The best channel 🙌🏻
Thanks for saying so!
please, do one about Sequels, what makes a good sequel - or a bad one. love all your videos. cheers from Brazil!
Great idea! Will add it to our list.
This video is How to make me feel better 😍
Glad we could be of service! ❤
Thank you!
I need to say that i feel.emotion just when in the movie appear jokes and comedy when it happens like in life is beaudiful im getting touched to the character
Thats why i never got emotions in movies like the pianist or the whale
That's a good point. People watching comedies might be taken by surprise when real emotion hits because they're not expecting it.
Thanks for sharing
Great video! I’d love to see a directing video on Michael Mann :)
That would be a great one to do! 💯
Finally You uploaded
We did it!
Insane in the membrane!!
well played
It had been 2 years of the color temperature video where is the color correction and grading video Please we need it a lot😢 i am waiting for you guys
Please make a video on the usage state of art technologies in films, & how, when & why to use it?
We try to cover that stuff in our How They Shot It series: th-cam.com/play/PLEzQZpmbzckUBXvCXDDyCzBraZ-WLWwY8.html&si=FInEinCoWvNAhqbO
The information in this video...thanks. Have you a video on dream sequences, and how to do them like a pro?
We've mentioned them but it woud be awesome to do any entire video!
A good tool to evoke emotion is to cut to actual archival footage of an important historical figure or event that is already embedded in the collective consciousness. An example is at the end of Golda, where news footage of the great woman herself is used as a postscript.
That's a good point. Reminding audiences that the movie is based on actual events helps make it that much more real emotionally.
Enjoyed your video, but would like to see some subtitles next time so that parts of the process are clearer and more impressive!
There should be subtitles now. Thanks for watching!
@@StudioBinder Thanks !
Love it when they get the older guy. 🎉🎉🎉YEEEEEEEEEEEE🎉🎉🎉
We love all our voice over artists ❤
"That movie sucked balls!" 🤣🤣🤣 Whenever you can sneak Jay and Silent Bob into an edit, you've got my attention
I highly recommend reading "How Emotions Are Made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!

Toy Story 3 had four editors. I had no idea you could have that many editors on one movie.
Can you make a video on
What can we learn from Arthur Conan Doyle s writing suspense
Interesting topic! We'll look into it.
I dont see the full video breakdown linked in the description lol
Can you turn on the subtitle for this video?
They should be there now.
The Insane In The Membrane beat hit different 😂
Can we totally agree with that? Yeah, we can.
I like how the face from hereditary was used for the thumbnail yet hereditary isnt used as an example in the video lol
Plot twist!
That scene in JoJo Rabbit really hits hard.
