    This is exactly why I think 360 cameras will never replace traditional cameras. It completely ignores the art of composition and framing! Great reminder, I always need to remember the importance of composition!

      WeekendWarriors I agree completely, and that feature is really cool, but simply watching things in 360 I feel like there always seems to be something missing, and that is composition.

      @Enogimka Před 7 lety

      If VR cinema ever happen one day it might get there to the point where having a 360 to film might be a cool thing to have. But maybe even there filming an environment of that kind might be better to just build a 3D environment instead of trying to film the 360 environment.
      I don't know....
      By the way what I mean by VR cinema I mean to be able to turn around and be able to look at everything there is around but not having to have a controller to interact.

  • @Liamhannam
    @Liamhannam Před 7 lety +15

    I completely agree with you, its basic filmmaking. HOWEVER what is also basic filmmaking, is using composition in the WHOLE shot. For example, that drone shot of the sea where you said there is nothing to focus on, That is the whole point! Its a wide angle of beautiful scenery, your suppose to be in awe with the shot not a subject. You can't have a subject in every single shot, thats not creative.

    • @HighlyTheoretical

  • @SinaSofie
    @SinaSofie Před 6 lety

    It's so funny. I met lots of people who are stuck when it's about composition...not only in film making, but for concept art and backgrounds in general. So many complain about why they don't get better or not getting enough comments and positive feedback. In the end you are good at using your gear, but when the fundamentals are not learned...or you even forgot about that you miss so many good opportunities. I mean it has a reason why Disney (specially the classics)for example are loved by so many...it's not only about storytelling, character design, fx and colours. It is about leading the eye and create a feeling through composition. And even professionals have to get back to the basics sometimes...just to remember how it works. :)
    .
    Thank you so much for sharing!!!
    PS: Even though Cinderella is not my favorite Disney movie...it has an incredible composition...WOAH!
    .
    Enjoy your daaay!

  • @TMBTM
    @TMBTM Před 6 lety

    Very interesting. Only one thing I'd like to add: you always explain why ONE shot is good or not so good, but depending of the EDITING a shot that feels off by itself can work as an element of the overall movie. I think what I want to say is that a movie isn't only a succession of independant beautiful pictures.

  • @drinkinslim
    @drinkinslim Před 6 lety

    Really good feedback on these videos. I think often we place a shot because we think it "will look cool" when in fact it's not achieving anything. For example, the low angle shot pointing at the little rocks while the person walks away on the left. A cool perspective but the net result isn't desirable.
    This video also challenges us (me) because I ALWAYS want to avoid overcast, dreary days, yet these reviewed videos show how you can get some really good looks and use colour to make things pop. Awesome.

  • @rdkuless
    @rdkuless Před 5 lety

    Helmet mounting an action cam is great for composition. Every where you turn your head to look the camera follows. and having a camera with a Gimbal or HyperSmooth stabilization is key because you don't want people to feel like it is too rough to watch.

    @dreamshell.121 Před 7 lety

    You make some very strong points! 👌 The only thing I would differ on would be the advice on symmetry. It takes effort to create symmetry, but not as much creativity. I like compositions that took a little more time, effort, and creativity to balance out an asymmetrical shot or design. But that's just a preference of mine.

  • @FramedProductions
    @FramedProductions Před 7 lety +18

    I think there are some occasions where breaking from the conventional approach to framing and composition can actually help story by conflicting with what the viewer expects. You do want to be careful with experimental shots though as they can really be overdone or unnecessary.

    Awesome advice! One pitfall I have fallen into is that it's really easy to want to use footage that was high-effort. Time-lapse footage is really hard to trash because it's difficult to repeat and so much can go wrong. It requires the most planning of anything I have ever shot.

    @JonHowardPhotos Před 7 lety

    This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Nice. The reason the tent shot didn't work is that the smooth motion of the moving clouds in the sky gently draw your eyes to the upper center horizon. The disjointed and jerky motion of the people became static noise while my eyes were drawn to the smooth, natural movement of the clouds. - IMO -

    My brother thank for the excellent video content,you are right on point with detail to the point explaining your pros and cons of videography. I am learning so much from your videos and thank you for sharing such priceless wisdom. In short I’m 52 years of age and seen a lot in my life but I have nothing to show forth to it but only in my mind. I want to take what I’ve seen past present the NOW time in my life. My mother was going to school back when I was a kid for photography she had the black room in the closet and I was her project during her time in school she took thousands of pictures of me and life lived and I think I picked that up from her because she let me take so many pictures but I never took it seriously. I have a very creative gift and it’s what I see, hear or just imagine in the moment that what if? Comes to mind. I will be very successful doing this because I love the outdoors people, travel. So kudos my friend and keep up the awesome content.
