I'm an absolutely Beginner in Filmmaking and vlogging but i love learning from other people. Thats one of the interesting Parts in Filmmaking. For me, this was the most helpful Video about storytelling that i've watched in a long time. Thx for sharing this.

I did not subscribe to anyone's channel quickly, but your video came in my recommendation feed. Honestly, you have told very well about cinematic videography, from which I will learn to make many new videos. You deserve many subscribers

"As I was watching the video, I noticed that the lighting and composition clearly carry your unique touch. I believe you have an artist's soul, and that's why every detail seemed carefully placed, with nothing left to chance. Honestly, I truly admire every artist who integrates their passion into cinematography. I'm sure I will learn a lot from you, and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing more of your outstanding work."

Probably one of the most helpful and to the point videos on self filming on YouTube. Commenting in the assumption it may push the algorithm to get the exposure it deserves.

[Mrplan-hz]

YouTube should start recommending this video to newbie videographers

[paaanela]

Yes!! you started and that's one if the toughest steps! I'm also on my own journey to position myself as a filmmaker. Keep going!

[WondersandAlleys]

You are awesome!!! You are great at what you do!! Keep soaring ❤

I love that you used Roma for so many of your examples. That film was very inspirational for me. A masterclass in composition, for sure. I’ve shot two feature films all by myself with nobody else to help, the first on my cell phone, and the second on a Panasonic S5, all manual. With two manual vintage lenses. Both became award-winning films. I love all your points, picking the time of day, using natural light, negative space, foreground, etc., etc., this is a great tutorial for anybody who thinks that they are limited because they have only themselves to do the work. At the end of the day, if you have a great story, you are all you need. You have everything right there at your fingertips, whether it’s a phone or a camera, just go out and do it, but do it with intention. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this video.

I have been wondering about your creative process to make not only cinematically aesthetic presentation but also the feel you convey on each of your video! Your filmmaking style is so unique! Kudos for you 😀I am looking forward to seeing more filmmaking and compelling storytelling tips!

NB: The way you present the tips makes filmmaking less intimidating. Keep it up, girl! 😉
