    Good one guys, by far the best explanation of this concept I’ve seen. Your use of visual aids and real-world examples are sets it apart 😀

      That's great to hear. We weren't sure whether the string method etc. would easily translate on screen. Cheers!

    What a great video guys great job!
    You should make a video about the use of soft and harsh light on a subject, because sometimes the soft look isnt always the one that you need

    I get so much out of your videos, thank you. You guys do a great job. I am a beginner filmmaker, and have started my own channel. I am going to use it to practice the stuff you guys teach along with the teachings of others.
    Thank you again, and keep going. I will keep watching.

    Nicely summated 180 degree rule, especially so when showing how to reframe scene when characters are moving within an area. Fair play lads! Great to see no haters around also. Have never seen a video with more than 100 likes and no dislikes!

    @Mrlgoverman Před 5 lety +1

    A suggestion for a future video is the 180 degree rule with 4 people in a scene. I just shot a short film and we got it right, but it’s definitely difficult when having multiple moving parts.

    • @TheFilmLook
      @TheFilmLook  Před 5 lety

      Great suggestion! We have something planned in that realm, so we will get to work on it very soon. Cheers!

    What about when shooting more than two individuals?

      It's a little more complex but we ARE working on an episode about this topic as we speak! Stay tuned :)

  • @theobelmas4439
    @theobelmas4439 Před 5 lety +2

    I am intrigued by that last sentence, if you want to confuse your audience on purpose, like in a fighting scene or whatever, and break the line without it being visible, i dont think the line changes then, and you broke the rule. The rule was broken and since it will make the audience lose their sense of spatial awareness does that not make breaking a rule work?

    • @TheFilmLook
      @TheFilmLook  Před 5 lety +3

      It's all subjective at the end of the day. I think, for beginners, it's safe to ensure you never break it and stick to the rules like concrete. If you look at films like Rocky or James Bond, there is always a sense of spatial awareness, cutting back to wide shots, or retaining screen direction, even during action. I don't know why I would want to frustrate the audience on purpose, it usually ends up feeling poor rather than artistic. But, like I say, that part is subjective.

  • @Ropetupa

    Weird that in filmmaking there is TWO 180 degree rules. And they mean different things.

    • @TheFilmLook
      @TheFilmLook  Před 3 lety +2

      Oh yeah! The other being the 180 degree shutter angle?

  • @edgarabramz
    @edgarabramz Před 4 lety +1

    Gonna be honest if you need actors to hold a physical tape or wire for you to understand the 180 degree rule in your shoots, stop shooting, like right now, stop it.

    • @TheFilmLook
      @TheFilmLook  Před 4 lety +4

      The tape method is there to give beginners an easy understanding of the 180 degree rule. You can simply visualise the tape when you shoot. Nobody is saying you should bring tape on location, but it helps for those who are new to grasping the method. We all started at the beginning.

    • @arianadiego3709

      it all becomes more apparent when subjects are moving more so then when they are static

  • @S9universe
    @S9universe Před 2 lety

    you can always break a rule when u know why you do it

  • @DIYCameraGuy
    @DIYCameraGuy Před 5 lety

    I brake the 180 rule fairly often. I also see it broken in good films all the time. You just need to understand what you are doing.

    • @TheFilmLook
      @TheFilmLook  Před 5 lety

      It's crazy how many times it is broken in films and TV shows. Sometimes I think they know they have broken it, and have to break it because of the production schedule or something.
