    "Have you noticed any examples of the 180 degree line being crossed?" Can't think of any, but then now you've highlighted the 180 degree rule, i'll be watching the next film from a slightly different perspective.

    I guess I haven't really paid attention to the 180 degree rule but it makes total sense when you showed the difference/contrast of that over the shoulder shot.

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah, you usually don't notice because most people do it right. But when shooting a conversation for the first time, you could easily mess it up and not realize why!

    I watched a youtube video about how great the editing in The Dark Knight is and they talked about the interrogation scene between Batman and Joker and how they slowly moved the side of the 180 from left to right shoulder (I believe it was also light side to dark side) to show Batman’s change from justice to darkness. It was super interesting

    I was expecting 180d rule for shutter speed. I walked out of the video with some extra knowledge hehe 😁 thank you! Do you have character 1 reading all his lines first, then reposition the camera and have character 2 read her lines and then make it a conversation in post? (since we don't see the cameras behind character #1 and #2).

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  Před 2 lety +2

      Yea, we pretty much just film the entire thing a few times from each angle because you need it to feel like a conversation and be able to see people’s reactions in case you want to use those as well. But you can fill the whole thing from both sides at the same time depending on the kind of lenses & angles you are using (cause you obviously don’t want them in the shots).

    You had an error in the shots you were showing… just sayin’
    In one shot - same scene the light was on your left and in the other, on your right cheek….
    One thing to know……your eyes work like a top notch processor, and you have to add things to your shots as if you don’t do it the shots will look lame - non vibrant. Our eyes can only alter the analog signal, not the recorded ones….
    Our eyes can’t amplify the signal from a tv or process it if that signal is an utter waste, but in the same time our eyes can do wonders when you are in the dark. For instance we did some experiments with our vision and when you take some interesting thing into your 👄 your brain can alter the signal and your physical ability to whole new level.Not saying you should try but I just try to shed light on few things that our body is capable. For instance one type of hallucinogen can alter the way your retina will behave - seen it with my own eyes. So to cut it short… lighting is crucial and everyone should learn it!!!! Not too many things to learn here, only the basics as they always repeat themself from scene to scene but, you have to have a sheet of written down and planed sceenes to be able to achive that cinematic look.
    A friend of mine, took a 160.000 eur rig and recorded a sooooo amater video that the other guys with a Iphone13 pro max did a better result….
