One thing I've learned from photography it's not the camera or its movement that creates a cinematic or great shot, it's mood and the viewer's immersion in the image. If you can make a connection for the viewer then the shot will always be strong

@jeydison video and photography are here to do the same thing. Make a connection, and get a story across. Whether it's one frame or many frames it's all the same in that sense

I was educated not to move the camera when unnecessary, my professor always told me "every camera movement should be justified to follow an action or something that actually requires a camera movement". Following this rule since.

Don't always follow these guidelines... watch "Killing them softly" it had lots of amazing shots and some brilliant ones that didn't require movement... the placement was everything and the most important thing of all... originality without being silly. The cabinet panover shot is one of those amazing shots. You'll know it when you see it.

YES. People always tell me, that shot went too long, it got boring, it made me feel weird. And it only solidifies my desire for shots to be more static and long, as in like 10-15 seconds vs the 5 seconds people want.

I find the perpetual motion that many KZreadrs use very distracting. Some guys actually seem to push the idea of moving the camera for every shot in order to create motion. Watching on a large TV makes it more obvious, so I experimented by making a short film of a trip twice. Once handheld with moving shots and the same locked off. The wife preferred the locked off version because it was easier to watch. In the end, I mixed a few moving shots into the static in slower sections and that gave a reasonable compromise.

Yep, I think good balance is important. There is no right or wrong, it just has to make sense and not distract from the story or what is going on in the frame 👍

Mi first little project "Oppenheimer - The Vinyl" after years and years of doing absolutely nothing with a camera is basically all stationary shots. Made it just for fun and enjoyed making every bit of it. So yes, I think you don't need a million cranes, gimbals to make something meaningful. Just recently went to see a movie "The Zone of Interest" and it was basically 95% of static shots. It is possible and it can create a certain type of feeling. I highly recommend that movie by the way.. but not everyone will fully get it I think.

As much as I love using a gimbal, setting up a nice static shot is just so pleasing. I haven't seen that film though, thanks for the recommendation 👍

If you search you'll find a great BTS on The Zone of Interest, no lighting used, yes the cameras were fixed but all hidden so the actors could move freely around the house, no crew in the house during filming all cameras monitored remotely. Often 3-4 cameras in each room with up to 12 used for a scene where the actors moved around the house, very well done and very effective, no wonder it won an Oscar.

love it. I use a lot of these things instinctively in videos but this structured explanation really gives a sense of clarity to it all.

Take a look at the TV Series Ripley. It's nearly entirely shot on a tripod (apart from a couple of moving shots in each episode). Alternatively check out some Guillermo De Toro who claims he hasn't used a tripod in twenty five years.

@Rejoin_2023

Yes, I noticed the static shots in Ripley too, I must admit it took me three episodes to notice and understand how the static shots combined with monochrome gave the production an old fashioned look. The photography in Ripley is outstanding as is the whole production.

Love to see all the techniques directors use in movie making. With today's tiny cameras, like the ZV-E10, one doesn't need much in the way of equipment to make a video. I cheap gimble and tripod can do. Love to see a remake, just for fun, of the 1960s movie Grand Prix using small ZV cameras from Sony. I want to see what today's kids can do.

Amazing tips! Will definitely use them as a film director. Thank you.

Great video...and yep! I love static shots in movies because it allows me to become immersed into the vignette around the subject, such as: the environment they're in, or the people around them, they way that objects in the room are arranged, and especially the lighting setup.

It s all about feeling

Good video and some useful tips and ideas. Thank you! My rule of thumb for camera moves is simple. If you can’t do it with your head then don’t do with your camera (unless you want to be arty). Use a slow zoom only when you want to draw the viewer into something secret or emotive. Like when someone tells you “hey, come closer, I’ve got something to tell you”. Cameras that move continuously around a subject (especially in interview situations) are plain odd. Would you walk around someone talking to you in real life like that? Perhaps if you were eyeing them up or trying to get the measure of them. If that’s the mood you want to pull off then fine but I really don’t like these moves just because a crew can hire some track and dolly the camera from left to right or in a semi circle. The worst thing a filmmaker can do is move the camera unnecessarily - that’s when you end up distracting the audience and ruining a good story. If the audience becomes aware of your camera moves then in my book it’s gone wrong!

@SightseeingStan

Ай бұрын

Good points here man! Totally agree! Camera movement should make sense (in most cases)! There's always exceptions to the rules though but it's a good general rule!

90% of my short film is locked off shots, because the characters are stuck in a bad situation. Sometimes, stillness in itself can convey a mood.

Static shots are good for a 2-3 seconds shot. More than 3 seconds, it will become a boring seen... When you add a little bit of movement, the static shot will become more interesting and will get more attention to the subject.
