The shootout scene is as old as cinema itself - from Thomas Edison filming Annie Oakley doing trick shots in 1894 to John Wick’s balletic shoot ‘em ups over a century later. And as film language evolved over the decades, so did the techniques used to present the shootout scene. In this video, we break down the various techniques of how to shoot a shootout scene using two polar opposite examples.
Heat Shootout Scene - Directing Breakdown
The Heat shootout scene, directed by Michael Mann, is a fantastic example of how to direct a gunfight for pure realism. As a director, how does Mann make us feel like we are there on the street in the middle of the crossfire? First, staging the shootout scene on location in downtown Los Angeles helps the audience feel the reality of the situation. When you hear the sound design of the Heat shootout scene, it’s like nothing we’ve heard before. That’s because while most movies add the sound effects in post-production, what we’re hearing in this scene is all production sound. The camera is also another tool that Mann and his DP Dante Spinotti use to bring reality to the shootout scene. The camera mostly shoots from eye level and with long lenses that create a claustrophobic effect as the police surround McCauley and his men.
The Matrix Lobby Shootout Scene - Directing Breakdown
On the opposite side of the spectrum from the Heat shootout scene is The Matrix lobby shootout. Instead of 1:1 realism, The Matrix shootout scene, directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski, goes big and bold for a stylized presentation. Most obvious is the mixing of frame rates, including the now-iconic slow motion. The sound design, too, is more expressive - specifically, the reverbed pinging of empty bullet casings on the ground. There is also a fluidity to the shootout scene in the form of cutting on action, eye trace, and a controlled camera that allows the spectacle to unfold in front of it.
Most filmmakers present the shootout scene somewhere in between these two extremes. No matter the formal techniques used, a great shootout scene can be thrilling and beautiful.

I was waiting for the scene of Heat. That is the most perfect scene of shootout i ever seen.
Agreed 💯
you can't talk about movie shootouts without mentioning HEAT ... that would be like talking about thrillers and not mentioning Hitchcock once
I really don’t understand how this channel has so many subscribers yet so little views
You deserve so much more attention!
Because only filmmaker and cinematographer and actors understand what they making for us bro
Press the notification bell! 😂
its we film makers can understand what they are teaching
@@StudioBinder, Can you add the Movies from the Transformers Live-action film series (especially #25 of the 50 Worst Movies Ever Made, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," which is based on the poll from The British film magazine called "Empire") to StudioBinder's screenplay library, and do an Analysis on them so we can understand How To Make Those 'Transformers' Movies From Bad To Great. Please, Okay?
I bet they have a high conversion rate, sweeping up subs because the content is so professional, even if theyre not filmmakers, but then as time goes on, the algorithm sees they dont watch a lot of educational content, and doesnt always notify when they upload..
0:04 Enthiran (2010). Good to see an iconic shot from Tamil cinema.
🔥👍
0:04 I never thought Robot would be featured in this video! This channel is full of surprises, and I love it. 😁
Also, the video is great, and very informative overall.
Thanks for watching!
This channel is amazing … thank you.
Thanks for watching!
The shootout in Heat is absolutely incredible!
The biggest takeaway for me was how the cinematography reflected the characters experiences in best examples (Heat, Matrix, Atomic Blonde). In Heat it's meant to be a hyper-realistic gunfight, so the camera is gradually shifting from the more panoramic shots to the long lens claustrophic shots as the characters feel more and more engulfed. In The Matrix, seeing Neo and Trinity's dominance reflected in the controlled shots, the smooth glides, the eye-tracking (really cool), the slow motion, all just emphasizes their complete control of the situation: despite it being one of the shootiest shootouts put to camera at the time (like 40 people firing automatic weapons in a confined space).
In Atomic Blonde while not done quite as well as the other examples - you get a mix of the two. The long cut action emphasizes that Lorraine is completely in control - it's a single motion for her through the whole fight - she made a plan and executed it. But you still get the claustrophobic shot at the start inside the ice bucket, suggesting the nervousness of a realistic fight: she's trapped and they know she's a spy - just as the camera is suddenly trapped in the ice bucket. Then once the first few are cleared, you get the couch filling the frame suggesting the same absence of information Lorraine is working with - she expected reinforcements through the door - she's using sound alone, nearly the same as the audience (we can peek over the top), to plan her attack.
What I would like to see is for someone to flip the tools around next. Show us a well-crafted gunfight from a non-combatants perspective - use claustrophobic camera work and minimal information (like the AB couch) to underscore their incompetence in that moment, flip eye-tracking around to maximize their sensation of disorientation (track left, next right, etc). You could even use both styles in a classic hero's journey to show the difference in competence the hero gains over the story - in the inciting incident the gunfight might be filmed as a Reverse Matrix, maximize audience confusion. Then do some hyper-realistic Heat gunfights in the middle, and end your climatic fight with a stylized cinematography like the Matrix: to indicate they are now hyper-competent.
Interesting take!
Nobody really read that
John Woo is a great exemple at stylised shootouts, the guns are almost an extension of the character's arms, and he captures them always in slow-motion to make it clearer and more epic, with tons of debris flying. The Matrix's shootout is hugely influenced by his work in Hong-Kong.
John Woo is great!
... his shootouts are not just 'stylised' - they are "super-hyper-stylised" - and mind-bogglingly unrealistic!
Mission Impossible II came out 1 year after The Matrix - and the 'action' scenes are still painfully, childishly dumb and boring....
It physically hurts when these two movies are mentioned in the same sentence.
0:04 So cool of you to add the amazing shoot out scene from the movie "ROBO". 👍💥
It's a great shot!
@@StudioBinder No denying that 😉 and you go have a look at the scene in the Climax where all robots form into a giant ball and shoot every soldier surrounding. That scene is just madness.
10:30 that winchester is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.I repeat that 100 times.
Love it!
My personal favorite shoot out scene was the climax of The Grand Budapest Hotel. it’s so unique and brilliantly done
Exactly what a Wes Anderson shootout would look like
These videos make me a better armchair filmmaker!
haha happy filming
6:10 this is the kind of slowmotion Zack Snyder uses (and some time criticized as if it were something bad), even that close up to bullet cases hitting the ground… and it works beautifully in movies like Matrix. Greater than life sequences.
Wow guys. One of your best right here!
Appreciate it!
My two favorite shootout scenes ever; Heat for the realism, and the lobby scene in The Matrix for one of the coolest shootouts ever filmed.
Got to love them!
The final shootout in Unforgiven is a classic of the revisionist western genre. It was foreshadowed in so many ways through the movie (particularly by Gene Hackman) and is made all the more significant given it is Clint Eastwood in the middle of it. While there, though, a shout out to the bookends in The Wild Bunch. They were revolutionary at the time. The final shoot out in Butch Cassidy is excellent, too, particularly the freeze frame with the sound still going,
Great examples!
Fast and furious 9 and No time to die deserves to be in the list for "Most unrealistic shootouts".
😂
The last montage with free bird is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad you liked it :)
Should've included scenes from Sicario. That would have been sick!!!
That would!
I wouldnt be opposed to a Part 2 3 4 thru 69 !
0:04 Wait is that Endhiran? Awesome! Great job Studio Binder.
😉
This channel is the top. I learned a lot about cinema and how films are made. Many thanks for the tremendous work. Outstanding work, keep it up.
I really like how you dissect scenes from a technical perspective. You changed the way of how I watch films.
Great to hear!
Your examples are amazing. Though I missed: Desperado, Wanted curved bullet.
Good examples!
Wind River - shootout followed by Sniper shots 💥💥!!!
🔥
I love this channel! I love films and love how they are made - and this channel is perfect explaining. And I love the off voice ❤
0:05 As an Indian I am proud to have seen about South Indian cinema here on this international youtube channel..🇮🇳
We're going global!
@@StudioBinder i want cinema to be universal.
As a huge film fan. This channel is an absolute gem! Thank you!!
ro how this content is for free is beyond me, u guys are saints
Just film lovers ❤
I love you Studio Binder team! Please, never stop producing superb content.
Will keep them coming!
man, i just want to rewatch all the scenes you cut into this video... I'm really appreciating how your videos are deepening my enjoyment of movies!
Happy to help!
Heat is still the most realistic shootout scene according to actual fbi veterans
They use Val Kilmer as an example. The head of one unit said to his squad, "If you can't reload your gun as fast and efficient as an actor, then get the hell out."
It's all time great scene for a reason!
Too this day, i dont know how they did it, but Heat has the loudest, most realistic gunfire ive ever heard in any film before or after.. like, too be able to mix sound like that with dialogue and stuff without peaking and still that loud? ..ungh, its magic..
Brother your channel is one of a free film school . I learn many ideas from your video keep uploading .
More on the way!
@@StudioBinder waiting eagerly
Bro .. talk something about shooting a fight scenes like shang - chi bus fight .... I want some details about shoot a fight scenes for my future movie
that intro was straight up FIRE
You guys gotta breakdown some of "The Batman" after it releases April 19th (so beautiful). This channel is amazing and has helped me appreciate cinema so much more!
That's definitely an option!
எந்திரன் அருமை தமிழ் சினிமாவையும் உலகம் கவனித்து கொண்டு இருக்கிறது. I love Micheal Mann
We do too!
love studiobinder , been educating my passion for films and creativity!
That's what we want to hear!
Really great breakdown of how these films were shot! Nice video
You guys are nurturing Talent all over the world
We hope so :)
The whole world loves the matrix lobby scene the master of stylized shootout, but only few even acknowledge Heat's shootout scene.
Endhiran 🔥 in promo....love from south India
Cheers from Cali
The number one channel! Thank you, guys!
Michael Mann's Shootout is exiting!💙
Definitely!
i absolutely love this channel!
🙏
I love how detailed you guys are about any topic you cover about filmmaking, kudos to you guys!
Vinci shootout in season 2 of True Detective. Friggin Masterpiece.
I love Michael Manns shootouts. The sound design is amazing. Plus using the blank guns make it pay off. Plus training. As long as it’s done safely. The grounded cinematography is my favorite. Tight with wide shots blended in. But then I do love Michael Bays action style too. Story wise no lol but action wise absolutely.
One technique I never see used, that I think would be insanely cool in a shootout, is using split screen to offer a range of different perspectives all at once. Could be a lot of fun.
Finally you put the epic Church shootout scene from Kingsman.. cool 😎
Had to :)
@@StudioBinder 😁👍
May I recommend your team to explore a couple of Indian Hindi films .
1) Satya (cult crime gangster drama )
2) Mr India ( fantasy action drama )
* director of Mr India is Shekhar Kapur . He also directed Elizabeth (1998) . I also really recommend to check out another film by him titled Masoom (1983) . That’s all 🙂
Describe how wonderful this channel is makes me speechless ❤️
The bullet holes in the movies are always my question, how they really make it?
Movie magic
Now this director (Mann) has a good approach to how violent a shoot out is… though I don’t see that much blood and thus it looks kinda clean.
wow enthirn (robot) movie featured in Studio binder is proud for TamilNadu people
Glad you liked it!
I learned more on studiobinder than my film school.
We are your film school ;)
Michael Mann - Most underrated Director ever 💙
Underrated? He is in every top ten list of Hollywood directors alive today.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia I agree... But he doesn't have fanatics like Nolan / Scorsese....
We're lucky to see him work
no, that "honour" goes to John Carpenter in my eyes - especially in the states ... he is more appreciated over here in Europe
Thank you soo much. You guys are giving me exactly what I want with every video.
Just a request, could you please make a video on how to shoot a dialogue scene with 2 cameras. I really need it.
We have a video on shooting dialogue scenes with a focus on the over the shoulder shot! czcams.com/video/T4hfGzDtzXk/video.html
@@StudioBinder oh thank you so much
Thanks, I realized that this channel is more of a class should be.....I really appreciate the way you explain in that every thing is easy to understand and the examples provided 🙏🙏
Glad you liked it!
Excellent!
Cheers!
Matrix is really a ground breaking movie
It is 👌
TY!!!
Thanks for watching!
You guys ought to try sword fights next.
Not a bad idea!
Super awesomeness. My next film will have a Michael Mann shoot out!!
Good luck!
I love this topic
We do too!
Excellent video
Hope it helps!
Superb video
Glad you liked it!
7 directing elements of Edgar Wright next, please!
Our director's chair on Edgar Wright czcams.com/video/fa_lP82gAZY/video.html
Amazing content team.🔥As a request, can we also have a special segment covering Quintin Tarantino iconic shootouts in inglorious bastards bar scene or the several shots of Django Unchained.. ❤️That would be lit as well 😀,🔥
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks a lot! It's really surprising that you respond to comments..
It's fun :)
Talking about shootouts without mentioning John Woo?
Come on Studio Binder! I expect more from you. 😛
Neo: I know Gun-Fu.
Morpheus: Show me.
He definitely did haha
This is the channel that never ever disappoints through it's content. Learned a lot and lot to learn.👍👍👍👍
As allways, what an amazing video and channel overall!
I don't know if it's in your plans or if I could make a suggestion, but it would be great if sometime you do a couple about musical videos, since there are many genres, styles, paralelisms and differences at the same time with the cinematography of a movie and I've found that's a topic very poorly explored or explained/shared to the public.
Anyway, thanks for so mucho content and hope the channel keeps growing till it has the recognition and popularity it actually deserves =J
Thanks for the suggestion!
This voice makes me to watch twice
It'll be here for a third watch ;)
Love your videos!
Cheers!
10:20 Definitely my favorite shootout on this list... Probably because the film and characters doing it were so imaginative & crazy.
All the shootouts & gunfights in Mann's Collateral were awesome... so raw and realistic compared to the complete garbage you see sometimes in similar scenes.
Btw, Tom Cruise's performance in that film was also amazing!!😎🎥
It's a great film 🔥
While I would not argue against storyboards and shot lists, consider this: neither John Woo nor Jackie Chan used them to create the action scenes in their movies, they just improvised on set, but also spent days, weeks or even months filming those action scenes.
I dont' think that Woo or Chan have improvised on set. There was no storyboard but there was rehersals.
@@Watchmen91 And these rehearsals where based on what exactly?
There is extensive planning involved in the logistic side of it, but neither Woo or Chan plan the artistic side of it, that is a creative process that happens on set, often spontaneous or as hard teamwork involving everybody.
dont forget wild bunch, peckinpah had amazing shootout scenes, and had influence on everyone
Awesome & Thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
pls do an video about directing style of speilberg pls
Thanks for the suggestion!
Useful video !!
Finally you mentioned Robot movie from india
👍👌
you don't include the masterclass shootout from Wild Bunch, i think it didn't need storyboard 🤠
That's a good one!
Awesome!!!
Glad you liked it!
Today is my 22nd birthday and this is an amazing way to start it off. 🙌
Happy birthday bro
Congrats!
Happy Birthday!
A video on shootout n no mention of shootout scenes from bad boys 2, the highway chase gunfight n the finale gunfight scene? Now that's disappointing! Those 2 r the most badass shootout scenes shot for a movie, ever!
Another great example!
Please do a video on the new Batman
In detail !! ❤️
It's an option for sure!
Enthiran (Robo) 😍
❤
Since we're in the topic of shootout, I'd like to give shout-outs to Sam Peckinpah and what I assumed to be a tribute for him by Walter Hill, 'Extreme Prejudice'.
👌
I was really immersed into the gunfight when I first watched 'Heat' I felt like I was truly there and was super terrifying
You used a shot from Indian action movie robot in this video 😍
Yup!
Oh yes, quality channel
You guys need to make a directing style video of Matt reeves!!!
Finally... Finally you have added the Indian movie Reference. I loved it. Thank you for this.
Yeah. I also noted that Enthiran scene
It was a great example!
Enthiran - The Robot ❤
Yup!
Good to see that you are selecting Indian films too for the channel hope to see more... ❤
When are y'all gonna release part 2 of directing elements of Paul Thomas Anderson?
It's on the list, but exact date is TBA!
@@StudioBinder okay. I can wait
Escape from Tarkov has a companion movie called The Raid. The gunfights in that movie are intense
0:04 Endhiran🙃
👍
Examples of when everyone on set does their job, everyone goes home.
haha good point
You lost Kill Bill on this one. But you made my day.
I expect that studiobindo will cover a Indian movie
Definitely an option!
Can you break down the cinematography used in a movie like Searching or Unfriended dark web?
We might!
