Adapting Dark Detective into a movie and making everyone else believe he adapted The Killing Joke/The Long Halloween. Remaking Paprika. Hiding plot holes behind Zimmer's pompous music. Just kidding, great video. I like Nolan, I just don't adore him like the rest of TH-cam.
1. He manipulates time so brilliant in order to create drama. 2. He uses objects to make the story interesting. 3. His protagonists tend to have a dark past. 4. Sound scoring is the hidden narrator of the film. 5. Actors are shaping the script to the best possible way to share a story.
The reason Nolan’s films are so great isn’t because of his cinematography, actors, or even his directing, although they all play a role. They are so great because of his writing. He has mastered the art of telling stories. This really is the most important part of filmmaking. It doesn’t matter how good of a director you are, if the story sucks, so will the movie.
Not always. There's a Bollywood movie (Ghajni) similar to the "Memento" of Mr.Nolan. After watching both of them, out of my limited experience I say this, even though the story is pretty much the same, I truly felt the difference in the quality of direction of the movie. So I guess, how the story is directed does play a significant role.
I've tried making a short film (fascinated by Nolan's filmmaking). Please go through it and I expect an honest review. th-cam.com/video/alSrEVrin0k/w-d-xo.html
@@anithahifzulrahman1975 Of course man, directing does make a huge difference, but storytelling is key. In fact, the way to tell a story is also up to the director.
Ethan Hall you're right. In one interview with Christopher Nolan he mentioned that he carefully chooses what information to reveal and when so that the movie makes sense and is interesting all the way.
He shows the movie to the actors before they begin shooting. That's why all the actors perform so great andeverything goes so well in his films. He creates that atmosphere, that seriousness. Handing out the script to the actors by flying to their place, no phones on sets, and writing the script in the order of the movie, it all helps the actors get in the zone and catch the vibe of the movie so well
Christopher Nolan's approches of filmmaking: 1) Clues in motifs He uses symbolic motifs, such as objects, less to support a theme, than to dangle a clue right at the audiences face. 2) Non linear stories Nolan structures his stories in a very mathematical & geometrical point of view, with lots of diagrams, and then writes it in the same order the audience is gonna watch it. He hopes to create a more cohesive and organic rythme of the story. 3) Bookending Where the beginning and ending of the movie share something identical. It can be the same line of dialogue, the use of the same prop, or even an entire scene. History repeats itself. (I don't know for you, but writing that down help me to digest what it's all about, so i thought i'd share it...)
Big budget, big actors, lots and lot of hype is not the secret of his success.. they all are part of his films because his shear brilliance and insane writing
I never ever cry, and rarely show emotion in real life. But there is something (or everything) so overwhelming about his films, that even during this 9 minute breakdown I couldn’t help but shed more than one tear at the beauty of it.
When, at the end, you went "back in time", said and showed the same thing as the start of the video, just like Nolan would do... I had to hit the like and say: "OH MY GOD". That was perfect, love this channel.
A person watches stories and finds favorite directors, actors and musicians, mine are Chris Nolan the Einstein of filmmaking, Denzel Washington and Jackie Chan really didn't want to choose between them and Eminem we all have seen Houdini so that should explain itself 😅
I think it’s phenomenal how well he grounds such fantastical concepts as superheroes, magic, spaceships or dream jumping into reality. Truly awesome films.
I love the fact that, how Hans Zimmer's Interstellar soundtrack suits with every scene from Nolan's movies. The combination of these two is impeccably amazing ! the way you made the video is impressive, like always.
Interstellar score is probably the greatest piece of music in the entire history of filmmaking. The structure, the organ, the choir, everything fits so well, and more than that, the cinematic value that it brings to the narrative of the film is remarkable.
Priyansh Sharma it is high in the ranks for sure, but lord of the rings is in my opinion above that, the amount of themes wrote by H.Shore and their development through the movies is outstanding.
He allows us to feel things.. nostalgic feelings. Happy and sad the same time. Bittersweet melancholic mind twisting emotional journey, for us. He doesn't force it, just puts it out in front of us, then lets us digest it. Absolutely my favorite filmmaker
You guys are awesome. No only how you teach about movie making, by analizing these directors, as also how you give it a push to people start to create. Congrats for the great work.
When a big studio spends something like 200 million $ on a movie, they want to make that movie "broad". It has to have action, humor, maybe a little romance, etc... A little bit of everything. Chris Nolan is the only director today who can get that kind of money for a movie, but not make a broad, but a "specific" blockbuster. A movie where ideas matter and can breathe, develop, evolve in ways they can not in other big budget films.
I’d have never watched interstellar if it was directed by other directors. It seems to be slow but it’s not! I rewatched it in theatres recently and trust me, would watch the movie again in theatre from beginning to the end!
What makes Nolan special is his approach to every frame on the screen like his music, it's always an important set piece,the way music comes with a scene is mesmerizing,his long time collaborator hans zimmer understands his vision,he approaches his music like method acting,like in dunkirk nolan sent him only clock ticks and tocks he made music out of it.in inception hans did the same,by using edith piaaf song he made the soundtrack.soundtrack is also fhe key element
Nolan gives us three climax in a movie. He starts to tell a story from the most mysterious moment to most fascinating; and between them, we see third climax. For example, The Prestige, in the first scene Michael Caine talks about the magic. We see the climax as a mysterious moment while he talks, because we dont know anything rightnow. Then film tells us a story of two magicians but in a way of Nolan. Its not straight, flat... It is piece by piece, like a small delicious a cake you eat. And we see the first scene again, but rightnow, we understand whats going on. We have to see more, we cant stop here... That is the second climax for us. Remember the last scene, we see a lot of Hugh Jackman in a full of water box. Do you realise that we never stop exploring the story from the beginning to end. Every f*ckin scene gives us a new information. A new piece of cake. And the last one is the third climax. Because we have to see more...
Reasons to love StudioBinder: 1. Edit. Always precisely in line visually and audibly(quotable) with the script. 2. Ear Play. Sound design is their unsung hero. Every time! 3. Structure. It’s always stacked so beautifully. 4. A proper education. 5. Proof in casting. You find yourself another Voice Actor equivalent to JARVIS 🙌👏👏👏. 6. Proof in the pudding. 🤷♂️ 7. Punchline. You will always have a relevant comment or pun based on a movie quote or scene. 8. Culture. Truly diverse. 9. Non-bias. Regardless of time, technology, or era ... truth in history of filmmaking is explored and explained. 10. It makes f*^king sense. 🤷♂️💪🔥
What are some other filmmaking techniques that Christopher Nolan uses?
showing a secret or the destination of the story at the very beginning of movie...audio and visual collision which elevates scene.

He always use less vfx in his movies
Yes, he also uses a technique called Han Zimmer.
You forgot one thing, hire Hanz Zimmer to write the score.

Studio Binder is my film school
We really need more videos on how to bookend.
One of the best channel on movies ..
Wow!! What a video!! ♥♥
Nolan is Genius
Why doesn't studiobinder have more than 10 million subs ?
Oh my god, “history repeats itself” that was so good!!
what is with the faded text that appears around 5:15 ?
Christopher Nolan's approches of filmmaking:
1) Clues in motifs
He uses symbolic motifs, such as objects, less to support a theme, than to dangle a clue right at the audiences face.
2) Non linear stories
Nolan structures his stories in a very mathematical & geometrical point of view, with lots of diagrams, and then writes it in the same order the audience is gonna watch it. He hopes to create a more cohesive and organic rythme of the story.
3) Bookending
Where the beginning and ending of the movie share something identical. It can be the same line of dialogue, the use of the same prop, or even an entire scene. History repeats itself.

4. Hire Hans Zimmer for the music.
So much information to process that many times you lose it and forgot the whole point and need to re-watch.
Edit: too much to progress but need time
I, too, do this sort of thing.
Not the comment we deserved but the comment we needed
Excellent vedio
I love this channel
Awesome analysis and insight.
Back ground score...... And the way he tells the story... Great
Soundtrack at 1:29?
His vision of human life and the way is questionning our nature through stories
Futuristic
Even if you don’t personally like his movies, you must admit he has an incredible mind for filmmaking.
Big budget, big actors, lots and lot of hype is not the secret of his success.. they all are part of his films because his shear brilliance and insane writing
well said! He did not start with those aforementioned qualities, he earned them
@@StudioBinder please make a video on Paul Thomas Anderson and his 3 classics : Magnolia, The Master, There will be blood.
You guys should've mentioned "spoilers alert"
Super
Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Fav thing about Chris Nolan is how he makes us believe in magic each time. His imagination is beyond most people and he finds a way to share it.
He's a special talent for sure!
I am genuinely gonna say that StudioBinder is ONE OF THE BEST FILMMAKING CHANNELS 🙌🏼
Thank you, thank you, you're far too kind!😊

Waiting for Nolan upcoming movie Tenet
You can't forget nolals movie ,this is the most important thing
In Every movie there will be similar scenes. How to think different.
0:25 movie name pls?
Inception.

the way he ends his movie is very fascinating
Great video!
Thank you!
@@StudioBinder got excited when I saw in my notifications another Nolan video from you guys!
Where can i get a script to read and understand. Can anybody help? I want to understand how direction is given to a script....

I should say.. this video too was kind of like a Nolan film
Low-key great channel for filmmaking

Cool editing
Christopher Nolan + Hans Zimmer = MASTERPIECE
"History repeats itself" & studiobinder reverses the full video blowing my goosebumps 🥺 no-one can does this as studiobinder!
Time is a flat circle. Everything we have done or will do we will do over and over and over again- forever...
Is it studio binder software free .?

You just did what you were saying , Studio Binder
Good job! I love it when people discuss the shape of a story it were graphed out on paper.
I Love Studio Binder, BRAVO
Thank you! Will you be using some of Nolan's techniques in your next film?
@@StudioBinder I will use StudioBinder's techniques :)
If you’re Christopher Nolan then there is no motif, just constant explanation.

One of the greatest comments on youtube
His circular non linear style was SUPERBLY pronounced in Tenet...
21 century....Legendary Director....
Agreed!

Good commentary. Great voice

Exactly.
He established that by making 'batman begins' and 'inception'
I’d have never watched interstellar if it was directed by other directors. It seems to be slow but it’s not! I rewatched it in theatres recently and trust me, would watch the movie again in theatre from beginning to the end!
Most detective films have clues and dangle plot points
T E N E T
Mathematical and geometrical point of view.
I want Nolan to work with John Williams and Roger Deakins.
Nolan uses relationship love to connect the audience with the concept
Looking forward to his structural take on Tenet.
Should be interesting as always!
It was very interesting! Especially with the use of Red and Blue in the film.
He's movies is new type of genre can you name it ???
