A lot of old movies give great inspiration. Take notes while you watch them

We need a tutorial on how to get that 90s vibe, that blooming effect, it's just perfect ❤❤

I really like how you presented your idea, and I think the “loop” and addition of a 4th shot separate from the Wide > Medium > Close up is a really good idea.

I personally have found that being conscious about the items you’re carrying in a scene can also provide a nice storyline to a sequence.

Like in the shots you showed, maybe I would’ve tried to include more emphasis on that red water bottle, especially since it had a nice color contrast. (Not saying this would make anything better, just something that I’ve been thinking about lately)

Just a thought though! Can’t wait to see more from you 😎

As a beginner, I am very grateful for you posting this. I've had a love for cinematography and videography since I was young, so thank you for posting this. I will most definitely use this in the future. My goal is to change lives cinematicly.

4th SHOT: an abstract / texture
Good for placing titles. Usually a macro, or a detail shot. In your example, it could capture just the texture of grass, or the water.
