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

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

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!!

That was beautifully explained

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

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 info....... 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 guys!!!!!

Thank u for this Ryan...thank u Phillip Thanks for the knowledge articulated so well

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

I loved this video. Please keep uploading videos like this. I watched before my lunch time and it didn't eat more of my short free time that I have everyday. Thank you guys! Good content and really clear.

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

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

Now this is just beautiful... wonderfully presented and taught. Congratulations

Have been taking photos casually for around 10 years but didn't really understand the lenses' effects until today. Thanks for this fantastic video!

You guys make it possible for people who know nothing about shooting film feel confident that it can be done thanks for the video!

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!

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!

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

Absolutely love this. Learned so much , thank you

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

Great tips, this def. helps. Especially the long lens pulling the background closer

The lens section is soooo helpful! Great breakdown!

This is an incredibly well-explained video! Good job

Seen countless videos on filmmaking, but this one is the best by far. Thank you for this first class advice :D

This video is so perfect! Lots of great examples and easy to understand.

This is a truly amazing video. Thank you! All involved.

Best tip i ever got about filming ! Thank you so much for this love the channel since the start

Wow. This is one of the most helpful UKposts vids for filmmaking ABC's I've seen. Thank you!

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

I love film riot now because it’s all about storytelling and more intricate stuff, but I would of course liv some more classic stuff like the skits and you guys messing around. Keep being awesome guys, you’re all an inspiration

Thank you for this. The concepts are truly well-explained.

This was amazing! Definitely gonna go get the full version!!

The color grading you've done on this is magnificent

Very useful, short, and direct. Thanks a lot!

the scenes in this are so beautiful.

This is fantastic and so very helpful, Thank you!

Thanks for this video. This is one of the best lens view explanation I've ever found online or offline.

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

You told me only stuff that I already knew, but showed me plenty of things I have not thought about. Great Video.

This was incredible THANK YOU also that domain plug impressive single breath dialogue

I really loved your video because it was very visually descriptible and also very beautiful to see. Thanks for making and uploading it.

This is golden knowledge right here. So glad I found this video!!

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

Wow this was such an informative video! Thumbs up! That comparison of portraits with different lenses at the end was very eye opening. I never knew different lenses could distort a facial image that much!

These are two of my favorite things! Philip Bloom and Film Riot!!

very nicely guided and narrated.

This is really cool stuff about lenses. The most proper explanation about lenses and how they affect your subject and background. Awesome video

This helped a lot. Thank you for posting this.

The background music and video color is so calm and relaxing

This is great. I screenshot all the different lenses you provided for future reference. The demonstration really helped my understanding. Thanks!

Excellent synopsis lovely to see Richmond Lock looking gorgeous, too! Have to share this one, thank you VERY much. 😎🥂

Glued to this and new subscriber, what a great break down. Glad i found this. Thanks

This was so useful! Thanks a bunch for this, we're going to use these tips straight away

Thanks for this Ryan & Philip!

Gosh, this was cool! Thanks so much for hooking us up and keep up the awesome!

This is such a great channel. Huge respect

Amazing useful content with clear practical examples of what different focal lengths do to your story, background and subject! Excellent

The lenses chapter was exacly what I needed! Great information!

Thanks a lot Philip Bloom and Film Riot

This was incredibly interesting! Thank you!

I'm taking notes on this! Thankyou for making this! With all its technical terms and explanations I feel it's really helping me put a handle on photography

Always good to visit the basics. Thanks Philip

Thanks for making these kind of videos!

What a beautiful lesson, and what a beautiful story

Amazing video! This is like a crash course on great filmmaking! This is a must watch, learned so much, very well presented and explained! Thank you for sharing! 🙂👍

Very awesome and informative video ---thanks, guys!

Great tips. Thanks for this video. This what differentiate professionals from amateurs - they know upfront what they want to achieve before getting a camera into their hands.

Ohhh what a tutor this guy is he is blessed ❤

thank you Ryan and thank you Philip.. you are an inspiration to us all!!

This is excellent, ive been wanting to find something just like this for little clips i make! Thank youuu

Amazing lesson! Thank you for this information

Wow that really opened my eyes! Thank you :)

So enlightening ✨ thank you so much ❤️

Thanks for the really informative video. I’m just starting out and this was really easy to follow. I’ve been interested in learning more about different lenses/ focal lengths. I feel I have a better understanding now. I have a canon 80d and considering buying the 50mm so the reference to the 35mm for a crop sensor was particularly useful. Keep up the great work.

i love you film riot!!! thank you for this, probably the best tutorial ever!!!

Wow...I learned so much from this video. Thanks for creating these basic videos to inspire us and helping us to make effective videos for our audi also.

This is an amazing video and I learned a lot from it that I'll be applying to my vlogs.

I didnt knew about the background. Thanks for showing it so well ^^

I learn something from it thanks Phillip & Film Riot

Thanks to staying inside, I found your video about framing and composition. It gave me the insights need to improve my videos. Plan on watching more.

This was such a great video! I am not a film maker, but as a youtuber I am trying to improve my skill with the camera and shooting a scene (for my videos) and I feel all of what you said is as relevant for a (beginner) youtuber like me as it would be for some of the professional movies makers. Really appreciate your video! Thanks!

This was super useful as a framing guide! Thank you, I'm taking notes to improve my own videos! 🙏😊

Very concise & simple explanation - Thank you.

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.

Thank you thank you and I love you

This is excellent! Thank you for posting it!

Very informative! I start learning visual storytelling from this awesome channel. Thank you guys.

Wow!! As many video tutorials as ive watched and LOVED I rarely comment....I have so much to say about the timing of me seeing this and how much I Love and appreciate this one...ill just say🙏😱..THANK YOU!

Excellent video. Thank you for presenting it.

Starting to use some of these tip. Thank you

Very informative. I loved the part at Brighton Beach. I'll have to try that next time I'm near an ocean. :)

I feel like I've learned more from UKposts than I have from school my entire life
