3 Cinematography Tips

Wow😊

Great tips!

I used the 3rd point way many times.. since I don't have much lighting setup

Thank you for these tips!! The shutter angle is one I’ve always been worried about changing but your explanation was great, thanks!!

Third time I have watched this, just in case I forgot anything. Please do more videos when you have moment

I came for the banjo solo ; stayed for the tips.

I'm a total beginner, learning with an EOS-M and magic lantern, also have a BMPCCOG that I fiddle with. But the EOS-M gives me the options to really tweak things like shutter and dealing with low light and noisy footage, I figured some shots, if they were still enough, I could just drop the shutter to 360 and have that extra stop of light. Thanks for confirming this is a technique that people may use. I am also exploring shots that appear to be night shots, but instead using a higher kelvin / bluish white light to light the scene, and darken it in resolve. Saw another video about how filmmakers use this technique to avoid that inevitable low light grainyness.

really good stuff!

I’m just now discovering your channel and you’re so smart and to the point. Question: What kind of mic are you using?

Incredibly helpful sir

Bro , your channel is a gold mine

I came for the cinematography tips, but stayed for the banjo solo. 👌

Loved the video, may I ask what LUT you use in this video? seams like a great base to get an idea of a final look lighting wise

Great video! How do you like the intellytech Light Cloth compared to the Aperture 600 D Pro? if you had to choose one?

lewis, love your stuff mate

Thanks dude. I really appreciated all your tips for lighting. And almost not buddy explain. I’m your student. 😃 I love it

Great tips. Thanks for the reminder to not be a "yes man" on set, but to humbly push back on certain creative ideas.

These are not 3 cinematography Tips.
These are the things who makes a person to next level.
Lewis you really did a job.
That's ma hero......

thank you very much Lewis. I have learn so much with your videos since I follow you ! It's always clear (even if my english is very bad) and approachable.

Hi Lewis! Can you please consider making a video about filmming interior car scenes in bright daylight? 🌞

dope!

This was..... so informative

This is really great! Thanks soo much for sharing and helping out!

Lewis, great video. I really like the tones on your skins, looks very polished yet natural if that makes sense.. care to share a bit about your process there?

Your are amazing...still keeping that boogie vibe while being true to the craft of filmmaking. Great tips and hope there are no dips ;)

Shutter Speed adjustment...YES! I'm actually doing something right. LOL Great tips Lewis.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

The thing about shutter angle is that most people (aspiring filmmakers) are just assuming that you HAVE to keep it at 180D because otherwise it will look bad. So they just completely banning the shutter angle from the exposure options. But the truth is that you should always try before shooting the scene. If you have enough light to play with/control to get the image that you want/need, then keep it at 180 (unless you actually want snappier/blurrier motions). If you feel that you can't really get the proper DOF that you need for the scene, or that the image gets too noisy and you're losing too much dynamic range because of a higher ISO value, then you definitely should test different shutter angle values and see if it could work, or at least choose what combination gives you the best results. Sometimes, you may choose to sacrifice proper motion blur for a cleaner image, sometimes not. It also depends on the duration of the shot (the viewer may not notice blurrier motions on a 2 sec shot, but may notice a noisier image). So yes, don't be afraid of testing before shooting, you may be surprised of the results!

Great video as always Lewis 👏 filmmaking is my passion too 😉🎥 best cinematic greetings from germany

Thank you

The most unreal part of this video is the playing of the banjo...skill lvl 100!

As always very informative cheers man - Just wondering.. In the first frame with window - If I was to set that room I would imagine putting the panel key light on your left side thinking that it is motivated by the window coming from your left also thinking of "wrapping" the light around. Is there something I am missing or once again just some creative choIce?

Good banJOB

Great tips, especially the last one - simple but effective! Thanks Mr Lewis Potts.

not gonna lie too i followed it to the end but my app softs way different to Nice tutorials.

Gold dust...

One of my favorite channels. Thanks for all the hard work.

Thanks

Yo! I'm a bluegrass musician and was happy to see you pick up a banjo 🪕
Fun to have some music / film crossover!

I would make a window at the back a little bit warmer in a first scene with a banjo.))

360 SHUTTER! You devil!

Love u mate!

hey thanks m8!

That True Grit thumbnail!!

Could you do a video on tips and tricks when your Director want to break the 180 line when you're lit for one direction. I run into this a lot and am always panicking.

Spot on as always! 🙌

I love the "enhanced reality" look, my favorite way to light

I was doing night lapse in Hong Kong with the city scape on a 1 inch sensor. The 360 shutter was the difference between noise and little to no noise. If people understand settings, they don't need to look up 'best settings' videos.
