Not always also it depends on actors how fast they remember dialogues and perform it flawlessly

if only this dude understands what he has just done for me right now. bro thank you so much

This is the best video I've seen on YT about this subject, incredibly helpful because you also addressed the audio issues which are probably the most challenging part of filming dialogue. Great job!

Cool Stuff. Very good and easy to understand. You let it all look so easy! Thanks for sharing!

This video is really gonna help me! 3 months back, I started to shoot a short series as a Director with my team. Due to less budget, we had to shoot it with 2 cameras available with us, Cannon 80D and 200D. And most of the time, we had to manage with only one camera. I faced a lot of questions while shooting. One such question was- How to shoot the scenes with a single camera? Although I took the shots but those shots were not that satisfying. I was disappointed with myself. But after seeing this video, I think now I know what I need to do.

This is a very good tutorial video. Explained in terms for even beginners like me to understand. The best thing I felt was that you made it very informal and sounded like you were genuinly trying to help the beginners.

Firstly, i can totally relate to ur frustration about the brand new pens that ain't working :) Good video. You practically shared what is typically my current filming experience. Until I am able to get more cameras to shoot with, this has been my most recent approach - ONE CAMERA, for filming not only dialogue scenes but virtually all scenes... some required awkward actor-blocking can make it even more difficult to shoot with one camera but with a bit of endurance and easy-to-work-with actors, it is doable. Sometimes people don't know what goes in a film shoot, all they see is a finished/polished product, which may have taken countless takes, hours on set, flipping a single camera for every scene, endless editing sessions in post production, etc. The most difficult part in my experience with shooting multiple scenes or angles simultaneously with one camera, is getting the actors to replicate the same body posture within the same spot that the previous corresponding shots were taken.

ok so if you do 2 different takes with 2 different angles and record the audio for both, in post production you need to sync up 1 audio track, but there are 2 scenes, what if one of the actors lines are off by a second or two, would that not ruin the whole scene? I apologize for not understanding.

Thanks buddy..how do i get a correct sound for a dialogue scene using canon 60D? how do i go about, suggestions on the equipment to be used

@MichaelRoninTV

6 жыл бұрын

Well you could plug a mic directly into the camera if you wanted to but the best way to go about it would be to get yourself an external sound recorder (Tascam, etc) and a boom mic if possible. That way it doesn't matter where your camera is, you record the audio externally and sync it up later in post. If you are on a strict budget then you could just plug a microphone directly into your camera and do it that way although the results are not as good. I hope that helps :)

Very helpfull.. Also i wanted to know that if a scene is long and the actors keep changing positions in the room, so do we need to take the masters for the full scene? cause its a long dialogue scene and the actors may not wana repeat the dialogues again n again. so can we just shoot a movement only(actors walking form one place to another) instead of the whole action?

How to film a phone conversation and video call conversation???

PLEASE HELP! How do you film a scene with one camera but have the audio of the dialogue seem as if the clip isn't cut, How do you make the audio seem as if the audio is flowing constantly and not cut!?!?

@MichaelRoninTV

7 жыл бұрын

If possible use the one audio clip (this only works if the audio syncs well to the video) if not use crossfades between one clip to another to make a smooth transition between the two. Also, it helps to have an atmos track which is basically a 'silent' part of the audio from where you filmed, have this track run the whole length of your scene so that when you cut from one audio clip to another there is no harsh cut as there will still be some sound from the atmos track there. Does that all make sense? Lol i hope it does

how do you edit the audios from the different takes together? thank you

@MichaelRoninTV

3 жыл бұрын

The same way you would do the video although I usually use software like Audition to do it. Audio is very hard to get right, it helps to have background sound/Atmos track and things like that

For operating the boom, should the mic just be on the actor who the camera is on or should we move the mic to each actors mouths as they are speaking?

@MichaelRoninTV

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, moving the boom/mic to whoever is speaking is a good idea as you might end up needing to use that audio if it works out better than the audio from another take :)

thanks for the useful tips 😃😃

how do you do it when you want the audio to start for the other actor when the camera is on one actor. Like when the dialogue for one starts early and then when the angle switches to the talking actor for the audio to continue without a weird break or change like the back round noise cuts noticecably. Sorry I had a hard time explaining this. Please just understand the question

@MichaelRoninTV

7 жыл бұрын

You can do what is called a 'J cut' and this basically means you start the audio on the first video clip (to do this you trim back the second video clip and the first sound clip and then move them together so the cut is shaped like a 'J'). I hope that makes sense, I might actually do a tutorial on this shortly. The best way I have found when switching audio clips from shot to shot is to crossfade between them, there is a audio transition in premiere for this that I use and it's called 'constant power' or you can even use 'exponential fade'.. Basically this just fades them together nicely. Most of the time though when you are filming you will record some 'room noise' or 'atmosphere noise' and you add that in to your scene and make it play the whole way through, this helps when there is cuts in your dialogue audio and things like that. I hope this helps and all makes sense, it's kind of hard to put into worded text lol :)

If they aren't in the frame it doesn't matter so much but it does help the actor in frame 'act' better in my opinion when the other actor (even out of frame) goes through their scene. I hope that makes sense

What if it is an action scene with lots of change in angles and activities, do I have to cut and continue each angle or do I film one angle, and then another and another and another?

@MichaelRoninTV

Yeh so this is really going to come down to how good the choreography is between the actors.. if they can reenact the scene perfectly over and over, you can just film the whole thing from one angle and then keep changing angles/shots and repeating the scene. Even if they don't do it perfectly, you will still be able to do quick cuts so it will look like it is all continuing nicely :)

How many cuts do Actors take in between delivering a dialogue scene? For eg if an actor has to deliver a one minute long dialogue,will he memorize all of it a say it in one go,or he will take 6 to 7 shots to complete it (i am not asking about retakes)

@MichaelRoninTV

3 жыл бұрын

A good actor would have usually learned their lines to be able to do it all in one take but the good thing about shooting multiple shots is that you can change to another one to hide a cut where they may have forgotten their lines. This doesn't always work of course so it's always best if an actor can remember their whole scene
