Mark, your transparency and will to share your knowledge is remarkable. It is humbling to see such a talented filmmaker putting years of experience into free videos. Thank you for helping so many people out there!
Wow, thank you. Appreciate these kind words
Agreed!
Re-mark-able haha
Well described absolutely true
Indeed!
He puts the ‘mark’ in remarkable!
Wow I think this is groundbreaking info for me. I think a lot of the time we could *feel out* the edit at the cost of time and trial and error but having a clear guideline like this will streamline that whole process.
I cannot stop watching this video of telling stories about life❤ As I one of those God's creations who has been through a lot in life struggles and obstacles to survive and get to where I now is a blessing!
My name is Amparo Vale and I would like to share with you my life journey. Journey with full of ungrateful part in my mind, body & soul. At the age of 50 in few days I am proud of myself that I made it to where I am now.
I hope by given chance to be part of your project and share my story to the world so those who are suffering from the past and lost,. By sharing my life journey may give hope and continue 8:32 to make life worth living for. God bless you and your whole team. God bless you 🙏
The colour coding is absolutely brilliant. Love the idea of being able to come out of the edit suite and look at the big picture, without any footage or images clouding the story. Well done as always sir!
it's been a game changer for me
I've come to realize that most 'complex' problems are just a series of simple solutions. in this case it was matching colours that saved our feature film 😅. What's a simple tip you've learned?
this is powerful info!! when you can visualize, feel, and touch a film outside of an editing software that's where you begin to experience an outside perspective which usually provides the clarity you needed.
I’ve watched a ton of your videos and it helped me make my own mini documentary this year. A local film festival called me and wants to feature it. Your knowledge and sharing your experiences has helped me tremendously and I couldn’t thank you enough. Love from the Fiji Islands.
Let's all be honest here. We're all Lewis when we're editing. LOL. Great tip, man. I'm working on a small project right now and every new video you post I've been able to implement it into my project some how, super helpful. It also makes me feel better that even a pro like you is still learning new things. Love to see it!
Don't do it this is a scam.
@@MrEattheworld LOL. Fully aware. This happens every time i leave a comment. 😂😂
Seriously man. The best advice ever. I learn so much from you constantly! Looking forward to seeing your two new docs, and also, His Name Is Ray when it comes out :)
I just like the video before even watch it as I know I will get exactly what I need and you never disappoint!
Those are some awesome tips I never heard around and I’m looking on this topic for ages!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for us the mortals who want to understand more about the magic of documentary!
You are like bird with the never ending gold eggs!
Much much love Mark
🙏🏻♥️ thank you!
This was really helpful. I’ve honestly never thought about it like that in terms of too many emotional scenes or too many plot scenes in a row. But you’re right, that IS how you lose your audience. And you’re right, this applies to all forms of visual media. I’m gonna pay closer attention to that from now. Might have to go back over older work to see if I find the same thing happening there. Good stuff bro. Thanks a lot.
P.S. awesome haircut by the way. Lol ✊🏾
thank you so much for sharing, cant wait for the documentary course I realy need it
This is fantastic. These ideas, are great for all modern drama, even work for theatre. Thanks so much!
Another gem Mark. Cool stuff. Can’t wait to see these projects
🙏🏻♥️
These are some really gold nuggets here. Any time I’ve tried to write or tell a story I’ve always just focused on the plot but never let emotion build or characters breathe and develop and I can understand why in films I like these character arcs have always been so pivotal to supplement that plot. So good!
Breaking down my films like this has been a game changer
Thank you so much Mark. Your knowledge and kindness has elevated and supported my work within filmmaking - truly inspired to make something special. (Need to jump on that AOD course!)
Yes! Jump into AOD brother. You’ll love it
Mate you just keep making me think about new approaches to the old goals it’s brilliant but also doing my head in a we bit in a good way ,kinda gone from just filming a ride to plotting an adventure ,good shit mate cheers
Thanks brother appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Nice one Mark, I used to do this with pen and paper and it would inevitably get super confusing and messy. This is a much better system - and perfect timing for me as I head into the edit on my own feature. Thanks for sharing!
Man, this video is awesome, this "simple breakdown" (as you called it), is one of the best piece of advice you can lernt n the filmaking movie. THANK YOU TO SHARE IT WITH US!
🙏🏻♥️
Man, feels like I had been blind and then you opened my eyes. 😂 Great tip, Mark! Can’t wait to watch your new film. ✌️
Only found your channel last week, have been binging it since! I am currently in film school and have learnt alot from you. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Australia :)
Love it. Welcome to the community.
@@markbone Awesome, thanks 🙏
Mark... Every video you share with us is full of presents thank you for doing that
Love the tips! Keep ‘em coming.
For your interview vibes I immediately spotted American Animals in there, one of my favorite films lol! The two journeys tidbit is a big help to framing the story. I guess I viewed it as a physical one with some emotion rather than the metaphysical being like its own arc intertwined with the physical as well - which seems so much more engaging and may be what's been missing for me! Great video!
Great film!!
love the story.thank you Mark.
This is what Casey does with his Vlog well. One scene he expressed how he feels about something and in the next you'll see how it relates to the story with some context to the plot.
This is gold of a content. Thanks Mark
Next level info. Thank you!
Working on a short doc project and I keep referring back to your videos. Things really started to click for me when you mentioned characters need to want something and to not just chase cool looking shots.. Excited to share when it's all done!
Keep at it Matt! Don’t settle for cool. Look for desire, progress and journey
As always, Mark saving my workflow days in advance🙏
Great video as always. It’s nice to think about the balance of emotion and plot across scenes.
I used Milanote for a year but cancelled as I always found myself going back to google docs and slides, they are much easier to share and collaborate with clients. Milanotes iPad and iPhone apps also need a lot of work. Thanks for the good content.
hell yea thanks for sharing brother
Your content is unique Mr. Bone. It is a refreshing departure from all the kit review stuff. Good, honest film-making advice 😎
I appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I'll try to put it to good use
Thank, you, The tool Milanote, was a piece of new knowledge for me and it opened doors for more organized approach! Even though I don't do movies, it helps me for Corporate/Work townhall presentations and for making TH-cam Videos!
Some really good points were said here! Great video
always sound advice Thanks Mark
🙏🏻
I love Milanote! I use it almost every day now.
mark you are simply a great person! in 2 months we will begin to our big journey which is going to be around the world with sailing boat starting from greece and film it also. I am basically learning too many stuffs from you so, I appreciate that man!
Mate! If you’re making your first doc, you gotta join AOD! It’ll help you tell your story so much better
@@markbone I just applied for module i and ii! made tons of reality shows so far but this is a bit new to me. docu-reality is gonna be our genre so thinking on too much about character goals, their story and searching ways to let the viewers feel the characters in the show as one of them. Cause I want to focus more on the cinematic aspect! hope to see you soon in aod and collaborate things together!
Emotion or Plot... sooo golden. I take so much out of every one of your vids...
thanks Dr!
I wanna apply this to TH-cam videos and even shorter form content like reels and TikTok. Watching this channel always makes me feels like there is so much potential to continue to grow and learn
💯
Great breakdown Mark!
thanks James!
Thanks man 🙌
Grand Rising 🙏🏾 First thing Nice haircut and once again thank you for this valuable information and great video 💪🏾🎥🙏🏾
🙏🏻🙏🏻
the color coding is a great tip, visually seeing what scenes are about, Im def trying that.
Such great tips!
you're going to be removed from this channel soon
This genus! I’m definitely going to apply this to my 1st short film! Soon!
Ohhh and did I hear a FX3 giveaway!!!! That would be a dream!!!
Go check the link and enter!
Was up mark love your channel man!
Hair cut 💇♂️ looks good bro!
Thanks Mark...I moved from StudioBinder to Milanote - it's great.
Thanks Mark for Sharing ... this amazing information ...appreciate t .. my focus of 2022 is to get better in storytelling in my videos . ❤️
I think I found Milanote about a year ago. I've been using it ever since and love it
Emotion and plot.
Super helpful! Digging the new haircut by the way
thanks mate!
Yes 🥰🥰🥰
bro.. you're great
Liked saved for later, can’t wait to learn 😂
Mark, I love your Content! Great stuff! It's so true that emotion and plot should alternate but I think you can apply this rule from shot to shot not only from scene to scene. Every scene should take the story a little further don't you think? And then there is another thing: exposition. Ideally a few shots can combine all of these things within a scene right? What's your opinion about that?
Dude, Mark! Thanks for the good tips. I just made a new wedding video and I used milanote! It's such a good tool I love it. Thanks for all your tips. Great video man!
Also, thanks for the great advice when working with other filmakers. I think that's so important!
Love the video man, it’s impressive how you can really breakdown everything so that we can all understand it.
Unrelated, love the shirt! Where is it from?
Appreciate it! madhappy.com
So pumped for the tornado doc.
as am i!
otherwise this is a good and very informative video!! Thank you for your time and effort

Third view on this video. Great love from Uganda, mark Bone.
How is Uganda?
thanks Jerry! Much love
What a great idea to color code the scenes or clips to get a clear understanding of why something is not working in the edit. 👍
Nice haircut MB!
I noticed then haircut but definitely looks good bro.
thank you
No. Thank you.
Nice 😊🧡
Very valuable insight. I'm not a channel by any stretch of the imagination but I enjoy the challenge of every video I post. Some derail so far off the tracks, rescue crews won't even put down a Tim Horton and respond. Other videos have a spark of potential but under my direction they skid off the runway.
It really is helpful to follow along and see how you compose. tHank You.
PS Bring on Eva! To see her work flow would be great! tHanks for the videos!
yeah i should def have Eva on the channel! she's the best, an incredible editor and person.
@@markbone looking forward to that someday! Have a super week!
Guys how do I start a mini documentary about a contest that took place in our university?( it’s like a talent show)
Should I use a flash forward and show them coming to the stage at the day of the show (like rise tension really height from the start and them cut off and tell the story with “ 1 moth before”)
Or should I start somehow slower?
Can you please do a breakdown of how you organize your footage and project structure? I'm deeply fascinated by learning about this topic and getting a peek at your files right there has me intrigued!
I’ve done a bunch of videos about this and we even break down our entire documentaries in theartofdocumentary.com about this!
Thanks Mark, I'm in the middle of editing first all out Documentary and struggling to the conclusion to my video.
You can do this! figure out where you think the film should climax to and conclude and work backwards from there, don't work towards it in the edit
Hi Mark, towards the tornado documentary have you incorporated some fpv drone footage? Because kind of in the same timeframe when you were working on it cpt vanover had posted footage where he has flown inside a tornado from a pickup truck
Your Tips are extremely helpful. Salamat 🙏📿🕉️
Which camera you used for Tornado documentary...it's beautifull
Keep cutting your hair and you'll end up with hair (or lack thereof) like me! Be afraid! Great vids!!! Keep 'em coming, puh-lease.
haha, I'll be there soon enough
I’d love to see a film where the metaphysical journey is more important and holds the plot, And the physical journeys conflict with it.
How do you manage the logistics of co-editing with someone across the country? Would love an inside look at that!
Love the video, but just remember that it is not ok to be stressed.
well... stress happens... if you're saying it's not okay to experience stress that just about disqualifies everyone in the human experience. The point i'm making is that I think it's okay to experience stress but what you do with it is where we can quantify what is okay or not okay ;)
So say for example I making a car video. The plot has a character (our vehicle perhaps the driver as well) , but how do I progress or write a story where character doesn’t realistically have an attainable goal or a goal that could be even metaphorically stated?
Wait… can’t a scene have both? A motion and plot at the same time… if they can happen in the same scene, can it blend together or is it still separate throughout the scene?
Hey Mark! Quick question, how do you send all your footage to a editor on the other side of the country?

I need this video because one of my weakest points are storytelling.
Just fear is what am overcoming.
it can become your strongest Cristian!
@@markbone yup
Thanks for mentioning the telegram thing because I've see it so much and I'm always afraid people thing I'm spamming!
big time spammers attacked that contest hard!
I don't even know why I'm targeted, I only have 200 subs and half assed content, haha.
Hi Mark, thanks for your video’s. They are very insightful! Also this one. I was wondering. Might this have a relationship with Walter Murch’s Rule of 6. I’m trying to work out your approach according to the rule of six. Like this: if you cut, according to the rule of six, you have to prioritise cutting first for emotion and second for story, but if you cut too much for emotion and leave out story too many times in your prioritization your story falls flat.
I’m just wondering wether or not you would have had kind of the same outcome if you would prioritise using The Rule of 6. You would have to consider emotion and story (and the other 4 of course). If so then your approach would be kind of a simplification of the Rule of 6. And I reaaaaalllly like simplification! Keep it up and thanks for your great work Mark!
yeah the rule of six is really preached by Walter. and it seems to work for him well. My brain isn't wired that way probably because I'm a bit more daft. i try to go a bit more off feel and I find this milanote system doesn't squelch the life and creativity of the film while still be systematic
@@markbone oh thanks Mark, never thought about having the rule of six 'squelching' the creativity out of the film, but you got a point there.
Out of curiosity where will be the first place to get updates and information on the upcoming Tornado 🌪 Doc?
both here and my isnta!
One question: does my plot have to reflect the character's journey to the goal even in like short films, where the plot isn't so complex? And does the character even have to have a journey in shorter form videos?
In short films there still should be a “want/desire” for the character but of course the journey will be shorter
@@markbone Thanks, Mark!
Milanote is great but their app sucks big time. NO way to work on your film when you only have your phone with you.
i hope they improve that, the workflow on the desktop is just fantastic.
Should change the title of this video to “This video is sponsored by Milanote.”
indeed it was
I like filmmaking, filmmaking doe snot like me
thx :)
This is a scam.
@@MrEattheworld I told him that instead of the camera, I wanted another prize...
@@tonnib After he continued to insist he was the real Mark Bone I tried to get him to send me a selfie with today's date showing in the picture, and he stopped messaging me.
@@MrEattheworld he told me that I had received the prize but that I had to pay the postage "immediately"
@@tonnib What a bummer man I was really excited at first! I wonder how many people he got...
I HAVE A QUESTION NOT UNDERSTANDING WHATS GOING ON, I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM YOU SAYING I WIN THE SONY CAMREA, I PAID FOR SHIPPING AND IT WAS A SCAMMED, WHAT THAT ABOUT?
Brother. That was definitely a scammer. The contest doesn’t end until July 21st. I will never ask for anyone to pay for shipping or anything like that.
@@markbone that's what I told him. I said Mark is not a person to do that. You need to look into it bro. I have all the text between me and the person. They got me using your channel. You might want to looking into that
MARK how long have you been creating "professionally"
depends who's asking ha! i graduated film school in 2010 but I don't think I was really making anything good until about 2014
@@markbone wow OG
New hair good look 😂
why thank you!
Is this really about software and money?
🤔
I just found out y'all get paid more for incorporating a product into your storyline on here......nice job with the milanote promo! ha. I joke I joke! And there are so many content creators from Canada on here that I've started to pronounce "Project" " Prooooject" and "templates" "templaaaates" lol
I love this channel. Mark's content is inspiring and incredibly helpful. But this is a commercial and should be disclaimed as such.
Lol. It says paid promotion at the beginning
@@markbone It's no big deal. Like I said, I love your channel and you contribute so much to the community. I still don't see any "paid promotion" disclaimer upon second viewing, but if I missed it ... my apologies! Keep up the great work!
😂😂
Your Trailer is a little long!!
Thanks for the feedback Alan.
I'm tired that all theese "tutorials" ends up being just product or app plugs...
You must be exhausted
@@markbone hahaha yeah! Enough like to comment here.
