Hi Thomas. First thanks alot for sharing your knowledge. I own an M50 but struggle to produce clear, crisp image quality and color and you proved me that the camera is not the issue 😆. Beyond the basics, I am in dire need to figure out the tricks to produce such consistent quality out of this camera, perhaps it is the choice of time of day (best for contrast-y images) or the way to color grade (I use Davinci Resolve). If you can help in anyway through consultation I would love to get it! Please let me know!
Well... The first thing I would say is : practice, practice, practice. No matter what it is, practice just filming anything you see. Sure time of day can also help, like shooting at golden hour, but I personally don’t pay attention to that. Also don’t overkill the edits. Like I always said, videos are like donuts. If you have a bad donut, no matter how much glazing and sprinkles you put on, it’s still a bad donut. Simple camera movements, composition, framing, frame blocking transitions work better than whip transitions and zoom effects because they feel more natural. Color grading is the same. I never use LUTs. I colorgrade each clip, one after the other. And I colorgrade until it looks natural. I don’t know Da Vinci but if you have a tool like Lumetri Scopes, use that to colorgrade. For the rest...again: practice.
Okay, so let's start from start. - I N T R O: The intro music is so cool and really compliments the montage. - M U S I C: The Lo-fi music is such a great form of music, it goes with anything and everything. You know it's there but it doesn't interfere in between. - M O T I O N G R A P H I C S: I've never seen any TH-camr put this amount of effort in motion graphics department, man, the subtle details that the "designer you" creates is unbelievably awesome. Massive respect for that. - Though I'm past the beginner phase but if were to start learning about cinematography today, I would suggest this video to my beginner self. Great job, Thomas. You're the best.
For creative purposes, you can slow the Shutterspeed which then make trails in make it look like a dream. Same for action, even though I don’t think high shutterspeed looks good. It looks like Bourne or Taken action scene and doesn’t really give that more intensity
Is it good idea to shoot a night 🎉 with M50 with 50mm 1.8 and cine style or standard mode? I use filmora or CapCut, but never go into colour grading in video? Thankss

You’re the best Gaurav!
You’re here since forever!
I agree :)
Thanks for your tips bruh❤️ learnt many things as a beginner..
You’re very welcome! I’m happy it helped you and hope to make more videos that will help ;)
I saw somewhere else that slower shutter speed can make ur footage more “dreamy” and higher speed is good for intense action scenes

Damn Thomas, did you quit making videos?
No, it just became my daily job.😅
Not as helpful as Part 1.
You need to walk thru step by step. Where to go for each step is missing.
You need to learn things by yourself and not expect to be fed with a spoon.
