0:30 composition rules (to 5:07) 3:40 leading lines
5:43 framing
8:10 lense selection

[philipbloom]

Thanks for including this guys. Much appreciated!

Remember...it’s important to know these rules, (same with lighting and the 180 degree line that are covered later) so you know why something looks natural to us as a viewer so you then know how to break it. Know why we do things classically so you can know how and when not too! If that makes sense!!

This is like everything and more that I've learned "theoretically" in my 3 months so far in college.

Funny but also kinda sad lol

The more work I do, the more I find I prefer longer lenses. I just love the look of them. I associate wide angles with emptiness, distance, loneliness, warped perception of reality, etc. based on how subjects usually fit into the frame. That still makes them a powerful story tool, because I can use that subtext to move the story along. I love this stuff so much!

(Sorry for my english, I'm greek)A lot of people are complaining about the lack of skits and humor in Film Riot compare to the past, but back then, a lot of people complained and said that the jokes are interfering with the information.I feel Ryan tries to keep the jokes away from the info and at the same time still putting funny videos out.But no matter what he does he can't please everyone.What I'm asking from the fans is a little bit of understanding.This guy works hard to give us great content every day.He works on all the Film Riot weekly videos, Short Films, maybe future feature films, the Triune Store e.t.c.(I know he's not working alone, but still...) and we as filmmakers should appreciate that.I'm not telling you not to say your opinion and/or complain but in every video now I read at least one or two comments talking about how great Film Riot used to be.I mean, don't you find these videos with mzed great????They give great FOR FREE!!!! I personally loved the old ''era'' of Film Riot and I'm loving the new one also and every channel should grow and change.Maybe I'm overreacting and there's not an issue here but I felt like writting this comment.
Keep up the good work

10:05 "Use a longer focal length to pull the background closer." That is exactly what I needed to make the background mountains appear larger in my 3D scene

Been following mr bloom's work for a few years now, this series is by far the best the most helpful videomaking class i have come across

[ShakTivity]

That was the best lens explanation I’ve ever heard. Thanks for posting RyGuy!

[kri_cal]

I had to watch this for class but it was very useful. Easy to understand and I enjoyed it. Keep up the great work

I don't take pictures, but I love drawing and this video is really useful <3

[VictorChimwala]

OMG! The clarity of knowledge is mind blowing. I understand it. Thank you. You helped me realize what goes where in my kit of lenses. I previously used to whip any lens onto whatever camera at any point and (zoom in post🙈🙉) fix it later. But no more. You saved my life!

[RupertsPortugal]

6 years on and this is still absolute GOLD 🙏🙏🙏

[HarshDoshiTheHarsh]

Quick side note: It is also the distance from the subject that contributes to the distortion. If you are at the same distance from a subject with a 10mm and a 24mm (or 50 or 200), and you crop in with the 10mm (not move closer) you will see that the face looks pretty much the same.

I already knew some of this stuff, but this video actually helped me to completely understand it and make it clear in my head
thank you so much

[Stoic_jezter]

That woman, when he's explaining the different shots, is incredibly beautiful. She looks so very ethereal

[MaxWest]

I have seen so many videos about lenses and compositions ... hours and hours and still ..I always found them somewhat incomplete. THIS video is so to the point and explaining everything in theory and in practical point of view. Thank you so much.

[jamesbarber]

This was one of the most helpful clips that I have seen showing/explaining the focal lengths and the feeling they are trying to convey. Well done. Thanks!

[yasseraziz]

This might be the best video on storytelling I've ever found, thanks so much! very articulate!

[tjc]

I love Phil Bloom's work so much. His work is very much like what I wish to do in the future

[LastTurnFilms]

Nice! Phillip Bloom knows his stuff! He's definitely helped me grow and flower as a filmmaker!




...I'm sorry
