Step up your Filmmaking : The Importance Of B-Roll
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 02. 2017
- Today I am starting part 1 of an ongoing series I am going to call 'Step Up Your Filmammaking'. Today's topic is the importance of B-Roll.
Shooting B-Roll, and shooting the right B-Roll is an integral part to telling your story. It makes ALL the difference. In this tutorial we explore this concept in depth. I might even have to say it's my favourite tutorial to date!

There's really no need for film school when you have awesome videos like this
I agree
True!
So true x
Carnisha XO FORREEAALLL
Only reason film school is useful is networking. Ever.y thing else you can learn on youtube.
Yu are going to be the reason of success of my film making career.
You Tech same where brother
Same here
You Tech that's I planning on doing
soo true!
You spelled you wrong
watching this in 2019. It is so incredible to see how much Peter has grown even in just a year
still relevant content!
Totally inspiring, I love his content.
Even I started videography a year ago and have made huge progress. Thanks to Peter!
Just stumbled on this and it made me sooo happy. Now the work begins. At least for me.
2 years. This is from 2017
yea...his filming has changed in way.. it rare this days to see him having so much headroom in his video like this
You should make a video about editing. How you edit and not just about camera editing but on the computer. How you make the video continue without obviously showing you put together a bunch of clips.
Hey Peter! I don't really comment much on videos, but I have to say your videos are INSANE and SUPER HELPFUL! Much love from London, UK.
The B-Roll was an improvement, but the addition of the soundtrack had an even greater impact, imo.
A great music would made a wierd boring shot looks cool
Agreed. People can always watch crappy footage with a good soundtrack, but the opposite isn't really true. I have to admit, the b-roll of them recording each other taking images, was more impressive than the actual footage they were getting of the environment (forrest and snow around 3:04). I think this is the difference between pros who spend majority of their time on the actual project/footage... and pros that specifically do it for youtube/vlogs. It's like 4 hours were spent on b-roll (i know that's what the video is about) and maybe 4 minutes on what they were supposedly actually filming. Not knocking Peter, he's awesome and love his videos....but yeah a bit unrealistic. Very informative though
While I do agree soundtracks are Very important. I personally watch videos at a volume that music is tolerable. Most videographers have no clue about audio, I find. Once you lower the volume of the music to a tolerable level you cannot hear voices at all. This should be the guide line for all audio. If the music blows you away or you can't hear the voices you are doing it wrong! This tutorial is an exact example of poor audio decisions. So it also serves as an example of exactly what not to do with your soundtracks....blow them up .
Content IS always king but audio can ruin everything.
Audio, and how to get audio, is something I've struggled with. You can make all this original content, but I don't know how to get audio that won't get me sued for using it, whether it's for personal/blog use or for non-profit, I have no clue.
What is B-roll?
Me: A slow mo video clip with aumsum music and cool transitions...
Haha truee
Thanks u i needed that
Haha i thought the same
Aumsum? 😂
@@suezds3476 meme word lol
I periodically go through your old videos and re-watch them. Still so much value. Thanks for everything you do Pete
This is exactly the kind of stuff we as amateur filmmakers/vloggers need!! Please keep em coming!!👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾❤🙌🏾
oh
You content is crazy amd amazing
Pro gamer Omar trust me im so happy
really helpful yes!
Absolutely true.
I can't even begin to explain how much it opened my mind about the difficulties I was experiencing while filming my stuff. Thank you
I love how you compare and show examples. It makes all the difference! You’re a great teacher Peter!
Man, your videos are SO helpful. thank you so much
Alberto Figueroa i know man helping me alot too
#EditlikePete
Your videos have truly inspired my wife and I to go out and really tackle filming like we have always wanted to. I have learned more watching an hour of your videos than i've learned anywhere else. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into sharing your knowledge and passion with us, it's much appreciated.
Your techniques are having such a profound effect on my footage, my editing style, and my confidence to motivate others around me. I used to visit Oakville in my 20s and your videos sometimes help remind me of that time. You are truly passionate about what you do and it shows. Unreal!
This video is so amazing. Your videos have literally helped ignite my passion for film making. Thank you so much for your tips and amazing content.. and I also kinda want a tattoo sleeve now
Ok I have not laughed and been so amused in awhile and I mean that in a good way. You are hilarious , absolutely adorable and love how you explain with examples, with and without B-Roll! So informative yet entertaining and I love the simplicity . Keep up the great work ! You're a ROCKSTAR!!!
Im revisiting some of your old videos for a new view on them and oh my gosh, it's amazing how much you've evolved since then! And I certainly value them even more than when just released. i've been on the filmmaking bussiness for 30 years and your videos are always refreshing.
Omg minute 10:33 make me feel like im learning , thanks for your videos learn a lot from you.
yes i didn't realize you could get such good footage from an iphone
Title of the song?
Great B-roll tutorial I tried some and I would like your opinion on it! Thanks! Stay positive and healthy!
I found this sooooo helpful! Thanks very much.
You're welcome!
whats the song in the drone shots
Peter i don't like 30fps either
i was shooting in 24 but I read that 30 is better when you're zooming in and out= cause 24 has less frames and can make it more stuttery
Thanks for this video, B-Roll is so underestimated on CZcams. I loved how the music kicked in right before transitioning to the montage. Also, how we got shown the environment B Roll right after your friend looked in his camera, it makes it feel like we're there with you looking at what you are seeing. Another example, you putting on the mask makes us think "dope, what's he doing with that mask", so the transition to the smoke isn't random or anything.
Thanks for these videos, I'm rewatching them 24/7 haha it is so dope to see someone with your level of expertise making these vids and sharing your knowledge!
Lol reading this comment in 2020 and realizing that when this video was made it was not already something normal for people to wear face coverage 😂
Your videos are so helpful and so enjoyable. You can tell you're passionate about what you do. It shows in your work. You put a lot of time, detail, and thought in, and it's very appreciated.
You are an inspiration. The fact that you are making these tutorial without asking for anything back make you even more awesome. Thank you Peter for your time.
honestly you produce the best quality vlogs and tutorials. don't EVER stop
Peter I just stumbled upon your video tutorials and man, i'm hooked..thanks for putting it all together. awesome!
Hands down you're the best. I've learned so much from watching your videos over the years. You make film making an complete joy to learn and always have such awesome tips a guidance. Thanks for being awesome, and Canadian
You deserve every sub you have brother, your entire channel is top tier information. I'll say thank you for every person who has come across your videos.
Man, keep this up and you're going to get so big. Where is the link for those grenades?

Just love your channel, Peter! Your energy, enthusiasm, professionalism and willingness to share your craft is really appreciated!
I watch for your photography stuff I usually skip the video stuff but watching this really makes you appreciate all the effort you do with you videos and how much work it takes. Keep it up!
This guy just knows his stuff! Absolutely NO need for school when you have people like Peter McKinnon!! God bless you sir! I enjoy ALLLL of your videos! Packed with meaningful and useful information! Number One Photography channel on CZcams!
You know how to teach with examples. . .PERFECT PETER. . . . Thank YOU.....
I can really see the difference in your color grading and I love how you can see your improvement
I appreciate this so much. Your style, skill, and personality work so well in your videos! Very unique!
I’m literally binge watching all your videos!! You are an inspiration my dude!
JmirePhysX I’m guilty of the same. Gotta love CZcams university.
god man！ I like your videos so much, those footages are just awesome, I am a 16year old Chinese teenager and I used almost all of tips in my English competition video lol 🐤
This is awesome! Thank you! I have been a photographer for the last 14 years and literally just started my video making adventure YESTERDAY! I look forward to seeing all of your videos, this one was amazing!
I have been binge watching your videos since Christmas day. They are so helpful! Thank you!

@@azurb2291 Thanks boy
Tips on how to get b-roll coverage of yourself when you’re a solo traveler?!
I would probably buy one of those squidlike tentacle tripods. Wrap it around the environment where you are and do a couple of takes.
@@MrTuubster very good.
Filip Tubbax only problem is that most b roll has dynamic camera movements. Very hard to get when solo filming.
@@baqcasanke some tools like the DJI Osmo pocket come with timelapse+motion modes. I'm sure there are tools you can acquire to do similar at varying speeds with your existing cameras
@@rboydphotography hmm i'll have to look into that. I looked at motorized sliders and they are pretty expensive, and would be a pain to hike/bike with lol. i don't have a gimbal for my canon m50 that too would be kinda big to hike/bike with. Thanks for the suggestions though.
i've thought about trying to make a DIY mini slider/crane thing. idk we'll see
I can't believe. All the premium contents he's giving us is for free. I am sure ill be a videographer just because of you! Thankyou Peter. Keep up the good work. ♡
Peter I have no words to say thanks to you
I bought Canon EOS R because you inspired me so much, It might take few years to me to learn filmmaking but I am damn sure I won't stop.
Thanks to CZcams also I learnt English language without help of any paid classes and now I am learning Filmmaking from you.
You did so well in telling a story within a story. Thanks Peter! - American Paprikash
*Peter* 👍🔥🔥
*I just started a Vlog and implemented some of your tips and im happy with the results.*
You Are My Teacher. You are a Hero. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.* ❤👍
You are insanely energetic with loads of useful information, and cut down complicated theories into delicious meals that one can easily consume.
Keep it up Peter.
You could make a full photography course out of your videos! Wow, just amazing! The examples, the footage, everything, they're perfect. You are THE guy. Congrats on your work!
Dang this is an amazing tutorial
Dang? it's stating the effing obvious at best - and does it have to be in such a patronising way?
@@LeastTango WTF CHILL BRO😂
@@LeastTango Dude...Lex was NOT being patronizing in the least! In fact, he was being super encouraging. "Dang" here is being used as a substitute for a more (what some may think culturally acceptable) dirty word like, "f#@k"! I would agree with XieXie in his comment, "WTF CHILL BRO". Lex's comment, in its entirity, is totally stoked with kudos to Peter. Sorry you took it the wrong way. :/
Literally my favorite channel on CZcams. So interesting. 🔥
Glad to find this a few years later! It just made me so happy. Loved how you practically showed everything. Thank you.
Hi Peter, I just want you to know that I lost my confidence to make videos during this pandemic. But watching this video that you posted 3 years ago keeps telling me to go back to the basic, you know, just shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and learn and gain more experience. Try to be more creative so I can have a good story for my videos.
Now I'm here again watching your videos again from the start. Thanks man for the motivation
The song name at 5:40 is called Rockin Beat 37, by Jack Elphic in case you want to know
Thanks you so much, Do you know what is the song at 10:00?
Thanks!
The song at 10:00 is Fall - Cospe
Vekk Milliot dude you saved my life thank you
Kwixey thanks
Just started making some videos and this has helped a lot thanks.
Thanks Peter! I was all lost and confused about this whole B Roll thing, this made so much sense and made me understand what it is all about and why it is and integral part of a footage. Thanks and God Bless! Absolutely love your work!
Outstanding Peter... sure appreciate the creativity you share with all of us...you have a positive impact on more people than you may realize. Thank you...

Oh 😮 this video is full great information !! This is awesome 🔥🔥
2019 im lurking around here great tutorial thanks.
I really like the piecing together of that final B-Roll. It’s always easy to say something is sick but it’s not as easygoing when you start! Thanks my dude !
Can't not tell how many inspirations youve gave me whenever I watch your video. 💕
This guy makes good vids learning a lot
Love your videos! I just started vlogging (kind of) and I watch videos like these and realise I seeeeriously need to up my game- will try my hardest to get my videos to your level 😂 but thanks for sharing your ideas. You are amazing!
Had never made a youtube video watched a lot of your blogs and brought a go pro and gave it a go. It came out ok but more importantly had a blast and wanted to....THANK YOU for all the inspiration..
I’m so happy that I came across your channel and subscribed. You have truly inspired me and now I know exactly what to do to make my videos and skits even better. Thank you so much.
Sub’d man !! I came across this video and now keep watching all of your content , Love Your work !!
Great informative video, i completely agree that B-roll is vitally important when it comes to cinematography. Keep up the amazing work.
Your Fellow Graphic Designer,
Nick
2021 watching this the first time and i know why people subscribing to you now. your Content is just on point and the quality you present is golden. i learned finally what is b roll in one single Video.
I'm just starting to add video to my photography, and this has just made a lot of random stuff come together into something I can apply. Thanks!
You are the man.....
Sub'd Awesome videos man. I can't believe I wasn't subbed before, watched so many of your videos
Peter McKinnon, you are the man! Teaching me all these skills for my own CZcams channel. Props to you.
Going into vid editing, this by far glued everything together for me. It made sense of every question I have in mind
Thankyou for this video
I will probably never make a film in my life, but I love this
Philgob you should make a film of not making a film
How do you export videos for CZcams in the best possible quality? (Premiere Pro CC 2017)
This is my all-time favourite CZcams video. I watch it time and time again and recommend it to so many colleagues and clients. What a worthwhile investment of time and effort, Peter. Thank you!
Been binge watching your videos for the last couple of days and I already feel my work is improving 🙌🏾
Excellent video Peter!
Great
Damn this is making me wanna go film some b roll...too bad its midnight...tomorrow it is!!
I know right!
Hat OFF Sir Peter McKinnon !! I started following your channel for the last few weeks , and Definitely I have learned A Lot !! Amazing WORK MR McKinnon !!
That was amazing Peter! Thank you for going above and beyond in teaching us how things work with B-roll! You rock man!
Peter is like Casey on steroids, lol...
Lol.
I love the cinematic shots you can do! I just really need to know the post production process for it! :D I mean your shots have really original use of color... you can't find that anywhere else
Jan Novák he adds Lux - I like the teal/orange used in bits of this vid. FC Pro has it.
Peter... You are a genius! I pray someday I'll get to know at least 10% of what you know... Tilt then, I'll keep watching your videos (will buy LUTS) and learning from you as I start my own channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us!
Awesome tutorials! I've been filming mediocre to awful footage for years out of necessity. I had zero interest in being a fitness film maker but a few years ago when I started fetish performing my motivation for filming changed. The difference in what I'm filming now using all your tips is amazing so thx for your amazing & inspiring videos.
Peter what is the music and songs , do you want to keep it secret?
this is soo good! do a colour grading vid :)
This is a masterpiece mate! I have made a vide some days before showing the lonely side of living in the mountains some far away from the other villagers. I have tried a b-roll technique in the beginning by showing a scene from the local cafe and me talking with the villagers... Now that I have seen this I will made my best to create epic content. Thanks for that, greetings from Greece.
I was reflecting on which was my first PM video. I have been a full time film maker for 2 years now and wanted to see at which stage I begin watching Pete at. This just might be the first video I saw! Pete was probably at about 110k when this was uploaded, crazy! You’ve played a huge roll in my career! Thanks Pete!
What is the song at 3:18 ?
this is amazing like how am i supposed to even get close to this level?
Small steps keep practicing
thought id come back to the video that started it all for me, this was the very first video tutorial i ever watched, cant thank you enough peter you've taught me so much
This was the most amazing thing to watch, I watched it from start to finish. I can't wait to incorporate these techniques of filming B-Roll into my vlog. I enjoyed how you showed us the progression of adding the B-roll and how it greatly impacts the viewing experience. Loved it!
Have you made a new video after this? 👀💬😎
