That shot at 1:45 is the most perfectly composed and still shot I have ever seen, the symmetry of the location mixed with the colours and the clarity is just so beautiful, the fact the guy almost completely contrasts all the colours makes this way way more professional looking, I've never seen a camera shot as well done in actual movies, never looked anything like this before and I'm feeling like "where have you been all my life?"

When there is someone next to Parker, I always feel like Parker is the mentor who is just sooo proud of his student!

Anyway, thanks for this video! :D

[sarah.galicia]

THE VALUE GIVEN IN THIS VIDEO IS INSANE. I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you Parker & squad! 🎞🙌🏼

I just realised looking back in my videos that I was using these different camera angles and shots correctly in my best videos without knowing but when I put these angles in perspective I can see why those videos are better than others.. I will make sure I make a checklist everytime I shoot from now on

[Kobbyshots]

Why would someone dislike such great stuff? Great work Parker. As always, your videos are way beyond helpful.

[nate_dodge]

Literally one of the only channels on YouTube teaching helpful, real world filmmaking techniques instead of just "fancy b-roll." Got so much out of this video!

[peteskyrunner]

Such a generous video in the amount of information given and in such a short time. No pointless waffling. Thanks. I will be shooting my first short movie in a couple of weeks when I get my Canon 90D and this has been the most useful video I've seen on the subject.

[itsamaniarts]

I love how the ad for the video was literally an ad for one of your videos. Classic.

[edh]

Good exercise- Tomorrow on our shoot I am going to checklist these just to force myself to use the ones I shy away from. Recently I realized my experience shooting News has narrowed the shots I use by habit.

[ChrisFranklinJr]

You all have been dropping some HEAT lately!! 👀🔥

[SokalAgency]

Excellent video breaking down the different camera angles to use in your films. Really loved the 180 degree rule as well as the 30 degree rule if you are using two cameras for an interview etc... Thank you, Parker!

[jeramelpaultapic]

One of the videos that i can say i really learned so much.

[ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Can't be grateful enough with Parker and the guys from his team. Absolute gold! Thanks🙏😊

[TannazWithT]

Hey there! Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your awesome film making tips. I'm pretty new to YouTube and started out focusing just on my message. But after getting into editing and buying my first camera, I've realized there's so much more to learn. Your channel has been a lifesaver - it's like a fun crash course in film making! Really appreciate all the help you're giving to us newbies. Keep rocking! 🎥✨

[camronstengel]

Can't wait to get my hands on the course to grow my digital marketing agency the value you put out for free is just insane.

[vzbujsp]

You guys are awesome. And i liked the "shoe on the drain" shot - the focus was on water and it actually did convey loneliness quite a lot! It was a great shot.

[funkyprepper]

Great information here. I've been making videos for over 10 years now and never realised the how and why of shots. Learned a lot from this video. Thank you so very much. Have a great day 😀
