      😂 I do feel that. In reality.. I shot the portion of me on the couch. Started editing it, didn’t like it. Felt I needed a haircut. So I moved everything to the bathroom to re do it, but while cutting my hair. Then halfway through that I stopped bc it was too hard to do both lol.

    You hit the nail on the head. When I worked in post, I tried to always make sure cuts were made with intention (tell the story, get a laugh, add tension, etc.). Sometimes, that was a pie-in-the-sky notion-a cut was made due to necessity. It did teach me how to make a cut feel intentional even if it wasn't-lessons from the trenches. Thanks for another excellent video - well done on the edit of the ending.

    you've done a wonderful job of revealing the pyramid that you must respect on the way to finally getting a single video project success.. forcing yourself to ask every question along the way... do you know your camera settings, do you know why you'd change them, do you how to compose / expose a photograph, do you know what's in the way of a better photo composition, do you know how to compose moving pictures, do you know how to capture two sets of moving pictures that work together.. it's such a ground up build that if you don't know why your camera settings work all the way up to why two composed clips work together to create engagement, then travelling further up the pyramid is just going to end up with frustrated puzzlement as to the 'how', as you jumped over too many 'whys'.

    • @BlaineWestropp1
      @BlaineWestropp1  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes. It does take learning some things to the point that you no longer need to think about them. And I think that’s what style is. Which also takes time to achieve. But once you don’t need to worry about the camera settings and once you know what you like (style) then you start asking the important questions that make something good.

    I love how different and real you are compared to the other camera TH-camrs. If you notice, all they do is talk about gear. They also never share their work outside of backyard tests. So how do we know they're actually any good at what they say they do? Do they have set experience?

    yes to all you just said! it goes without saying that this applies deeply to things shot on film, but i have noticed that whenever i ask someone else to go film something for me on digital, i can really notice someone that is experienced by the number of shots and the quality of each. the goal is really to have fewer shots, with each shot being usable in the edit. especially for social media digital content, i want to be able to drag the shot on my timeline and use it. i have also become very strict with when i press record. better for the workflow, better for the mind.

    I really struggle with intention having made a lot of my work on the fly and in the edit - I have committed to intention but it has resulted in realising I don’t have much of a knack for storytelling or planning -
    I have relied on intuition and filming interesting people and getting by by the skin of my teeth however now making more organised work including business ads/narrative the ideas for the outcome is hard for me to conjure prior to “the day” and often results in something lacking compared to the lucky captures when I have just gone with the flow -
    perhaps this means I am more suited to doco but there are also internal visions that I want to materialise which include dialog and other filmic narrative scenes.
    -
    I’m sure I’ll break free from this stasis from prioritising intention. 16mm def changing things for this issue also.

    • @BlaineWestropp1
      @BlaineWestropp1  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think finding good results with just going with the flow can definitely happen. You don’t need to always have a full plan. Part of your intention could be going with the flow.. there really aren’t any rules and everyone works differently. Styles and techniques and process also evolve and change. In the end you have to find what gets you the results that make you happy. It’s not always easy.

    Intention is everything. As primarily a wedding filmmaker (I know people will say just call myself a wedding videographer, which is what I am, but I feel like a film has much more intention behind it than just a video), I yell this from the rooftops to other wedding videographers all the time. There are so many wedding videographers that are high volume and produce vanilla films that are all the same and are boring because they lack intentional planning, storyboarding, active listening, chad set up and spatial awareness, use of lighting techniques, avoiding overshooting, and high quality audio with redundancies. When I started asking myself why I do anything, That's when my work started to look, sound, and feel so much better. One example of this in the wedding videography world is when a guy slaps a camera on a gimbal and just runs around all day with that. Every shot selection, every focal length, every white balance adjustment, every gimbal movement for static tripod shot, or handheld movement should be motivated with intention. The cool thing is this mindset can be applied to any filmmaking application and it will always make The end result better.

    • @BlaineWestropp1
      @BlaineWestropp1  หลายเดือนก่อน

      yep. fully agree with you! im glad you started asking yourself why and noticed improvements in your work. I know I experienced the same thing. weddings are particularly hard. I shot one wedding. I told them I would only do it if I could do it my way, and that they would have zero input. lol. they agreed, I did it my way, did not overshoot, and it was fine and they liked it. but I know not every client is like that. I think it really comes down to slowing down and just thinking and trying to make something good. also.. call yourself a filmmaker! thats what you are!

    We all like a oner in the wide. But when a dog barks down the street the audio is ruined and you must go again. Then the hair slips and you have to go again, then another dog bark, now a line badly delivered. Now we are on take four and have not got to the end of the scene once yet. and it is lunch time. Coverage will make you make the day and not pay overtime. And options to chop the lines down so the dramatic tension comes to a high just before the ad break at 14mins 58s. Its not for art - it is the commercial activity of making films on time and on budget.

      And you cant get the boom mic in properly on a wide. And production didnt pay for two boom ops and kit. So you gonna lose some more takes trying to rely on lavs jammed down her crinkly shirt. The editor will be taking the CU audio and pasting onto the wide shot anyway. So you need to shoot a boom mic CU anyway or fork $5k+ for ADR and lose three days of actor time, and the actor is on another job for the next month so now your Chritmas feature will be edited by February.
      How come the great films are oners on a wide? The greats got good audio by shutting the city block for sound and then scheduling three days to deliver a two minute scene. Fine if you have the money.
