Love your videos! I’d cool if you included the titles of the movies that you show in your essays. I’d love to see a lot of them!

[samuelbungo]

I like how the MUBI advert was motivated by the content of the video

[BriefHorrors]

Children of men used a shaky cam and documentary like feel but it also felt more objective to me.

[onilms]

Andrew Haigh is someone who finds a wonderful way of blending both together.

[jasonknight]

Yes - please update the post to include the titles of the films used.

[iMaxTWO]

Hands down the best filmmaking content on youtube. Thanks so much!!

[berengerdietiker]

This was both enlightening and educational. As a firm believer in emotional emphasis, I vote subjectivity.

[ME-gsyn]

Just here to leave a comment saying how grateful I am for your channel and it’s ability to inspire filmmakers

[ThatSalim]

Perfect timing exactly what I wanted to look up on the channel ❤

[venkatakrishna]

Great job thank you learned more than required

[MrSecretSentai]

now i understand what people meant by objective vs subjective film making in the movie Oppenheimer

[kevineno]

At 7:20 into the video, can anyone tell me which film this shot is from? It's the subjective shot where the camera flies into the building with illuminated, colorful lights.

[aakarshan]

love your channel dude !! I hope to do what nolan did, take out time from my dayjob and start with writing and filming stuff I'm proud of. Your work really helps! Thanks!

[FF-gujz]

Thanks for your vidoes! These are so well made and I can learn so much. 💪🏻😉

Thanks for the compilation. I wouldn't call the films of Apichatpong with all their creatures, ghosts, past lives and memories objective. Maybe their visual strategy by adopting wide shots is to create the feeling ( illusion) of objectivity and thus embed the "weird" moments into a more palpable and realistic world. As a result the "weird" becomes even more effective and gripping. In "Memoria", for example, we are experiencing the sounds that Jessica the protagonists hears with her and no one else in the frame does. OK she is in filmed in wide shots. But the perspective of the story is hers. Or is it ? Subjectivity and objectivity could not only be distilled to only a number of direct visual cues. At least in more substantial films. This ambiguity which the good films have makes them even more multi-layered.

[JakubChlouba]

Super helpful as always! I'm curious what is the film that you used for most of the ''subjective'' examples, would love to watch it :) Thanks so much man!

[gavmonn]

but memoria is created in a very subjective way - subjective filmmaking doesn't always have to be shakey. It only has to show (in any way) the POV of the character. You have shown Memoria, which isn't shot in an objective way, because it shows how calm the character feels. If I'm wrong please correct me why I'm wrong.

[ameyakeni]

can you please mention all the movies used in the video?

[janayounis]

Would you be able to do a rundown on how you edit your videos?

[Nusrat_Mumu]

Please mention the name of the movies.
