Love the psychology behind some of these tips, especially the 30 degree rule and using drastically different angles to build more drama or suspense while a simple 30 deg. feels like a shift to the next thought while maintaining the same tone.
Also like how you made the two shots of you as the director and you as the student make us feel like the director is dominant and the student is a subordinate ;)
Brother… not only was this video informative. It was so clever on how you role played the info and displayed what you were gonna share by showing us how many yet not fully revealing it. Job well done my man!
I also use a ‘side-on’ to establish a conversation scene and as a variation perspective to break up the monotony of over-the-shoulder-shots. Do you think is a neutral way to use this perspective? Or is it too disengaged in your opinion?
This is my favorite part of filmmaking. I feel like sometimes i get stucked in the technicals such as cam specs and what not and forget about the art form
Being good at something is one thing, being able to TEACH it this well is not for everyone Amazing video literally These tips will alwayss remain in mind
I'm a bit late but this was very educational - not usually one for the corny jovial instructional video but this was done with taste... (camera angles, got it) Thanks!
Im just now trying to figure out this videography thing and ive watched a few other videos on the subject that were just not catching my attention. You're hilarious man, im laughing and learning at the same time. So thank you for not making me yawn.
So glad you made this video. So many people are just buying cameras and claiming to be film-makers, without basic understanding of cinema techniques/film psychology. This leads to utter shite cluttering up our screens. Credit to anyone getting creative, but don't ignore the basics.
Just stumbled across your channel, nice to see a fellow brit teaching about cinematography (most of the others I've found are from the US) and great content by the way! Going to have a binge!
Amazing video Sam! Just subscribed! You taught everything we’ve been trying to learn in AV for 3 weeks in less than 10 minutes. I love the style of your videos they’re informational yet engaging
Hey Christian! So pleased this video helped you 🤩🙏🏻 thanks for watching and subscribing! 🎥 plenty more on the way but if there’s anything you’d like help with in particular, let me know
@@SamHolland if you're willing to and not too busy, I'd love it if you could watch what I had so far of my first documentary. I'm gonna start all over now that I realize I was doing so much of it wrong, but it'd be great if you and other documentary filmmakers could watch it and give me feedback. It's only about 4 minutes cause I only started on it recently. If not, no worries 😊 th-cam.com/video/e8zcmmkQp9I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aJSQ4MA_Io-QCRbv
Coming from photography I do think about the angle. BUT it can be a tough decision at times and usually my thoughts are running a race when shooting lol. Great video! Keep it up
Not that you need it, but you just got yourself another subscriber. Your presentations are precise and interesting. This one I find very informative yet very funny. I like it a lot. Makes one just want to watch your videos all day. Keep it up.
Awesome tips here! 🤩 I’m sucking up every little piece of information I can, as I’m trying to put together my first short film. This was golden, thanks! 🙏😃
Very interesting video. Very cool to know that I was already doing a lot of these tips you mentioned without even realizing it. I've been doing videography for only a month or 2 and knowing that I've been doing some of these without even realizing has me really excited to see how I progress a year from now! Thank you for the great informative video!
Well done Sam! Not only did I learn a lot but I was entertained as well. You are a much bigger filmmaker than your Sub's would suggest, but that's going to come. I can't wait to see your channel grow!
Nice video. As audience, I always found the 30 degree angle seemed a bit strange when used during interviews. Sometimes it sort of just stands out as a weird angle, especially when it’s a close up in those documentary style interviews. It’s like, where are they looking? And why?
Love the videos! Quick thumbnail idea/tip? The arrow lools like you are moving forward. If you put another line and a half quater circle thingy to resemble the angle sign. Then people might not think it's movement. Unless obviously it was your intention xD Love your content so watched anyways :D
Awesome video again mate. Love the tips, deffo loved the Dutch angle one, could see the differences really clear with what you showed. POV one was great aswell, I guess not using a gamble would be great for say a pov horror film setting if that makes sense. More natural body movement etc. Bonus tip is spot on! Sorry you kept getting smacked by Spielberg. Not a nice way to treat your employees 😆
I've been an audio guy for over thirty years. I always had an interest in film but never worked on anything. I now have a collection of some handy gear and could cover several needs yet I have zero creative ideas to justify using any of it.
Hi. That’s exciting. FCPX for video editing and Adobe Lightroom for photo editing 👌🏻 great place to start. Good luck in your journey 🤩 stay tuned for plenty of film making tips
Great video! You explain everything so well in your tutorials. I have a question though, at 4:27, you say having the horizon in the middle of the frame is useful when hiding/showing certain details of the environment. How so?
Hi. Thank you. I’m pleased you’re enjoying the videos. Honestly, it’s not really a rule. It really all depends what’s in the frame. In this case, it just looked better because of the height and placement of the videos and subject etc. I wanted more clear space above. No rules. Do what YOU want to see 🤩👌🏻🎥
What is your favourite camera angle?? 🎥
6 use it all the time ⏲️
POV
Good choice 💪🏻🎬🎥 have you seen false alarm by the weeknd music video?
I'm thinking of specializing in the toilet/fridge/oven cam niche.
@@jessesenko some of the finest shots are captured in those places 😛🎥
Love the psychology behind some of these tips, especially the 30 degree rule and using drastically different angles to build more drama or suspense while a simple 30 deg. feels like a shift to the next thought while maintaining the same tone.
Hey Dru. I’m pleased you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Also like how you made the two shots of you as the director and you as the student make us feel like the director is dominant and the student is a subordinate ;)
👌🏻 well spotted! 🎥🤩
Better call Saul is a masterpiece when it comes to intentional and emotional composition.
Well then, i guess i should better call Saul
Masterpiece. I really noticed this yesterday in the beginning of episode 3 of the last season.
Better call Saul is a masterpiece, period.
Brother… not only was this video informative. It was so clever on how you role played the info and displayed what you were gonna share by showing us how many yet not fully revealing it. Job well done my man!
I find your videos both fun/entertaining and educational at the same time. Very nicely done. I am learning a lot from you.
Loved how you incorporated humor into this educational piece. Totally loved it.
You are a lifesaver. Im super new to videography and is currently looking for a channel that contains everything i need to know. This is GEM!
Very good information. Most people are so concerned about the camera equipment rather than the techniques of film making
This dude lead me from video to video, and now I'm binge watching his mini cinematography masterclass, and taking a truck load of notes along the way
Hey! So pleased you’re finding the videos helpful! Stay tuned for plenty more 🤩🙏🏻🎥
I was thinking the same thing...lol
He should make a "bingewatch/clickbait masterclass" :))
I also use a ‘side-on’ to establish a conversation scene and as a variation perspective to break up the monotony of over-the-shoulder-shots. Do you think is a neutral way to use this perspective? Or is it too disengaged in your opinion?
This is my favorite part of filmmaking. I feel like sometimes i get stucked in the technicals such as cam specs and what not and forget about the art form
This video is so brilliantly put together, keeps you engaged the whole time, and wanting more by the end. Well done Mr. Holland

Thank you! 🤩 I’m so pleased these videos are helping and keeping you engaged. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥
This is an awesome video, even for photography when demonstrating how to frame up a subject!
Love your style and knowledge - the perfect mix even for older crusty rusties like me 🙂
So glad you made this video. So many people are just buying cameras and claiming to be film-makers, without basic understanding of cinema techniques/film psychology. This leads to utter shite cluttering up our screens. Credit to anyone getting creative, but don't ignore the basics.

angles are what got me interested in the shooting side of film in the first place
🤩📐
So glad I found your videos. I had no idea how much I was doing wrong

Great video, Sam! I really enjoyed learning about the dutch angle and the 30 degree rule. Super helpful! 🍻
Thank you! 🙏🏻 I’m pleased you learned a few things. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🤩🎥
Love this channel! New favourite

Great video, thank you, I’ll be watching more of your tutorials for sure.
Thank you. So pleased you enjoyed it. I hope they help 🙏🏻🎥🤩
Great video! I don't make films, but do a lot of interview work. The 30Ø angle tip is super helpful and something I hadn't considered before.
Ah I’m so pleased you saw that part at the end then. Perfect for what you do 👌🏻 thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥
This was a brilliant video man! Keep it up, made me totally rethink how and why I shoot
👆🏻🎊📦🎁🎆🎊...
Love the videos!
Quick thumbnail idea/tip?
The arrow lools like you are moving forward. If you put another line and a half quater circle thingy to resemble the angle sign. Then people might not think it's movement.
Unless obviously it was your intention xD
