My story telling problem seems okay for me but whenever I watch your videos. I’m like man there’s so many wrongs with my edit lol. Kidding aside thank you again Brandon for your help!

Workflow. Especially travel videos. When should I edit? Most of the time, I have all these cool shots and scenes, and what I envisioned at the time may have been forgotten by the time I get to the editing. Which means, I have a whole heap of useless footage. Surely there must be a more fluid way than literally using a pen and paper to write the script as I go along......

My storytelling problem is i want an authentic performance or reactions from non-actors. how am I supposed to master that?

Still not be able to portray real emotions that people should remember like stories. and that's seems like a big problem.

Exactly what you've tackled today. Coming from photography, i have some amazing 'shots' but i havent yet edited or posted anything as they dont tell a story, been suffering from this issue for a while, nice to see some tackle it so comprehensively

Yes, this is real content for filmmakers, thank you!!! This kind of tutorials are so much more important than seeing gear reviews or KZread studio builds. I look forward to seeing more content like this!

The shot vs scene concept is so simple yet so powerful!

2 minutes in and I already love it. I don't know why I never thought about the difference between shot and scene before myself.

Such a helpful video!!! Better than any boring lesson about filmmaking! Easy and clear to understand! Waiting for this!!! Love it!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

KZread would be an even greater platform if more creators would focus on stuff like this instead of gear tests and comparisons. Thanks a million for this video! Going on a one week off-road motorcycle trip tomorrow and want to shoot my first video in 4 years to reactivate my channel. Will try to implement as much as I can from what you said.

these tutorial videos are gold, Brandon! too many gears video on KZread it's turning into a marketing platform. Thanks for still being here giving us proper lessons.

Thank you for always being the best teacher

This is the best advice I can literally find on KZread

Also by just doing videos over and over again, at one point you get the idea of naturally getting a story together. Really cool video! :)

appreciate the honestly with pure travel videos. they're cool and all for some commercial work but do get repetitive with lack of invested story. nice break down

That was awesome Brandon. I’m going to use these ideas when shooting my guitar lesson videos.

You simply explained this well easy to understand what is a shot and a scene in creating a story.

Hi Brandon...i have watched many many story tellimg videos to study how to do it. But you have given the most acceptable and real technique, with that Scene & Shot. Thank you so much...

I don't know how this video got past me but I just saw it. I've been following your work for years and have purchased your gimbal masterclass but this is the video I have gotten the most from. Thank you! I can't wait for things to go back to normal so I can see your art as it is meant to be. It breaks my heart to see your work be paused while you are at the top of your game. Love and respect. Thank you for being you.

Unknowingly I have been following this format

BRO THIS IS PERFECT! I always found myself just shooting random "shots" and having a hard time editing. Now I know how to build a scene from a shot. 👍👍

Great explanation Brandon 👌 hope you are doing well and get to finally travel again.

Exactly what needed!

Such an amazing short guide, as a video beginner coming from photography, this is a true eye opener

Hi Brandon, i just wanted to say thank you for giving so many tips for free. This is not usual and i appreciate it highly

I decided to dedicate our first long lockdown to workshops, so I took many. The Unscripted Film School was way long the best educational content I ever attend. It modified totally my vision about filmmaking and the Storytelling Area was a real jewel. Brandon is great filmmaker, but if possible even a greater teacher! Go for it , you will never regret.

I skipped a beat seeing a new post from you and for something that I was looking for! I follow your work passionately and hope someday that I have enough money to sign up for your course. 🙏

This is one of the best pieces of advice I have seen on this matter! You are brilliant mate and described perfectly what I have been searching for for weeks now. Thank you so much! 🙏

one of the most important videos that you ever posted

My favourite filmmaker in youtube

we lot of learn from your videos bro .. thanks.... love from india....❤❤❤

This is quite helpful. Thank you Brandon.

When I first started watching this, I was thinking "yeah, derr" this is standard and obvious but then I kept watching and it's such a great, simple and effective framework. I ended up watching it a couple of times to really sink it in! Thank you.

Golden. Full stop. Making a booktrailer with my pupils. Will be useful as it is tough not to show faces for instance.

Some time you don't need to tell a story, other it will tell by itself like the one you did last week about your trip to this hotel. However most of the time just enjoy the travel videos for whatever it is. See the fpv videos, it's just amazing views with cool music and great editing. Regardless good to see you busy making new videos while you are in your quarantine.

Great advice! And a great reminder for me, even though I’ve been shooting b-roll for over 20 years.

Beginning Middle and End! Like in Acting school. Has to have that complete Arc. Dude your content is super dope. Hope your feeling better! Stay Safe!

You absolutely hit the nail on the head for me with your shot vs scene description. I am a photographer that over the last several years has moved more and more to video. My work is probably 80% video now. I think this description has been my biggest obstacle when I get back to edit and feel I am missing something. This is awesome. Thank you Brandon.

This is just gold man, so much respect for sharing such valuable info 🙏❤️

I love unscripted storytelling and theory. Awesome. I learned a lot.

THIS IS THE BEST LESSON ON FILM MAKING AVAILABLE ON KZread :)

This has to be one of the clearest lessons I've watched that really made the concept easier to understand while keeping it interesting and concise. Definitely applying this to my next shoot (whenever that is haha) as I've definitely felt that a lot is missing from the videos I make. Thanks so much Brandon!!

Very helpful video Brandon! It is true that many of us, coming from photography, often focus on very beautiful images which, however, are not enough on their own to tell a story when making films

The best video I have ever heard for the starter!

One of the best editing tutorials I’ve seen on KZread.

Oh boy…I needed this video. Heading to Poland and then Ukraine for the second time in 2 months. My first trip, I got back and was underwhelmed by my footage. These tips are 🔥. Subbed and liked. And gonna look into your courses. Bravo mate.

Thank you Brandon, this deserves more views!! It is really interesting to hear about the mental process behind the shots

This is so helpful for me. Thanks so much Brandon. My biggest challenge is to really shape how and what direction my Channel is going to be. Especially I have not decided my niche/topic, so every content is little different and I also wanna do more cinematography and better filming as well instead of just doing sit down studio talk recently. Appreciate it!!

GETTING STARTED and a work flow....I began learning film making during shutdown..watching tons of videos.. THIS VIDEO is unbelievable... with out a doubt just what I have been looking for.. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

this video let me think more about scenes, while not only perfect hero shots, scenes lead the story flows well, great video!

really useful lesson on what I would term as the essentials of a video narrative and not just the cliche theory but the essence of it. Thank you Brandon!

I missed your lessons about your Technics Brandon. Tank you so much

Action vs. Reaction, this is the kind of advice that I really wanted to hear before I go any travel lol

Thanks, this is one of the most helpful tutorials I've seen. Also, thanks for not using the word "cinematic" :)

You just put words to what I’m striving towards. Thanks😊

This is the video I needed today. Recently I've been literally thinking about storytelling in film and narrative video-making in general. Serendipitous!

You make it sounds so simple! What happens before and after. That's all I needed. Cheers!

Oh man, this is pure value! I've been doing photography for the past 1,5 years and dabbled into videography like 6 months ago. I still struggle with storytelling sometimes, so this was such a useful video man, thanks for this!

Best video tutorial I've seen in a long time, again by Brandon Li.

Thank you for this simple technique. I will try my use it

Excellent video! ❤

Great explanation and advice! I always try to improve the way I tell my stories through video. It's hard but videos like these helps a lot!

Loved it! Your videos and topics always seem to catch me at the right time.. thanks for sharing Brandon 🤙🏼

You are always on the money with your stories and how easy you explain it to us. Thank you 😊

Awesome Brandon. So useful! Thanks.

ive never really heard this topic discussed a lot (shot vs scene) and it's now on the top list of things i need to be mindful of while shooting. thank you so much for this video!!

This is awesome! I’m constantly trying to improve my videos so I’ll search for things I want to do better. So glad I found this video… these tips and knowledge will make my trail guides so much better! I’ll be rewatching again with my notepad.

Thanks a lot for that. I just found your channel and it's crazy how much I've learned just from few of your videos !

Seen so many videos of yours it is always a joyful learning experience - thanks for your thoughtful sharing

so good. Simple but really useful tips.

Love this detailed explanation!

Thanks! What a great breakdown. Very easy to understand and apply.

incredible resource, thank you for this!

BOOM!!!! Fantastic Brandon, thank you. You’re absolutely right, the gear reviews are handy and I’m sure they help keep paying bills in lockdown but this is your gold dust content. Cheers mate!

Such a great video to help me become a better film maker... Thank you so much for this!!!

That’s amazing!! I really enjoyed learning your process when it comes to tackling a project. I’ve been forced in many ways to start from the beginning, however, this method allows me to have fun with questioning impactful shots and in so, directing the narrative around it. Thanks Brandon, I really appreciate your shared knowledge on film making

Please make more videos like these. TY SO MUCH TEACHER :)

You are the best teacher!
