hello everyone I'm three tree with hairy Canucks and in this video we'll be going over the basics of be rolling I'll give you a few tips and tricks of something some of the things that I keep in mind every time I turn on that camera position my scene and push that record button so I'm tweet tree come on on the unicycle it's an awesome shirt let's get with it first shot of this review the silverstone army zo2 all that right battery dead so the first basic rule you have to understand is always think about perspective well when I say perspective I mean the camera is in the same plane as the subject you're trying to film is it about the subject looking down on a subject or is it below it and so each of those perspectives creates a very different effect in the way you try to present whatever you trying to shoot so for example here's a shot of this case with a plane above the subject looking down and it kind of reveals a lot of the background elements it doesn't fully isolate the subject in this second review from the form from the background and the foreground isn't totally isolated now here's an exact same shot with the exact same settings with a tripod lower and now you're looking from the plane below the subject looking up and it creates this very towering effect where the subject they're trying to highlight is very powerful looking and this really works really well with cases in with any straight lines because you have this very interesting look and so you could create different dynamics and whatever trying to highlight using this type of plane method whether or not you try to be above it below it or in the center and the center is very awesome as well just to create your lines so that everything is straight everything is in perspective and nothing is in the skewed plane that sometimes does not work at all for some shots so always think about perspective whether you want to be above it on the same line as the subject or below for that really towering work the second thing to think about all the time when you're doing any type of be rolling is the tools that you use do not overuse the tools and also the settings so right now I should say I've set up my office in this t-shaped format why desk why desk the screen should be on to give me a bit of extra light from there turn out that light on over here and basically I'm trying to capture as much as possible within this type of environment and then I will actually change this up I either move the desk over here or put it this in that spot just because of the blue light that shines from the case so always think about trying to change your environment as otherwise you know filming this entire case review in this tea format for the viewers we extremely boring and now back to the tools I don't even use the slider all the time I only try to utilize some establishing shots maybe a conclusion shot maybe something for the cinematic intro that we do but as you notice throughout the review it is not being utilized all that often just because I don't want every single shot to be a slide shot I don't want every single shot to be a pan shot and I don't want every single shot to be you know some type of combination using the tripod with the slider so always try to think of a good balance in terms of giving yourself a nice slider effect nice pan nice tilt whatever and then you know try to balance out the motion versus static shots so a good example of what I just said would be for example to do an opening slide shot so there is motion and then do a macro shot so a change of the focal length of the lens if you don't have different lenses just maybe come closer to the subject and do the minimum minimum focusing distance so you have not only the perspective change you also have the change of motion so you are going from something that is dynamic to something that is static and you notice that they might use all the time I usually try to bounce out a few motion shots and then put in a static shot like a macro something so if you're seeing a shot and the composition that you like try to capture that in either the dynamic motion so pay until slider whatever that you have available for it to do create some type of motion and then try to go in and do the exact same composition slightly differently but without movement and then when you go back to edit you have those two options to play with you can choose one to go in the beginning of the review and the other want to go in the end of review or some combination of that so that you don't or you the footage too much and you still have very unique shots throughout the entire video now people are always curious about our slider shots coupling the staple of our recognized style and so the tip here is to be always consistent with motion so that in case you need to warp it later instead in the premiere software or any other video editing software it's not as difficult then you won't get many artifacts so if you do get that slide delete that footage and just do it again so this is a perfect example talking about diverse shots I have this here it's a very wide angle showing you the entire casein in frame and see nothing is cut out and now let's do a tighter shot just of the logo which would reveal just a tiny bit of extra diversity in what I'm trying to showcase here one of the most important aspects in terms of be rolling is trying to think about your composition always having that back your mind if you can enable the rule of thirds grid on your screen on your camera do it it will help you try to Center things able to help you to your correct for your perspective if something is slightly skewed and you know it does not may not be as professional as what you could potentially make it but also it comes down to practice and making sure that you like what you see the way I usually do it is blast out some trance music as I think as I film my reviews that's why I'm sort of energized by whatever I'm listening to and trying to also come up with some creative ideas in terms of how I want to showcase a product that I'm filming so always think about your composition and very important don't try to be random sometimes random is great but don't always try to be random don't just set up a camera and then do a slide or you know do a pan or whatever try to really think about your setting trying to visualize how everything in the background is you know located try to look in the entire frame and see if there's anything that needs to be removed from the shot sometimes I have little items in the frame that I'm like ah crap I wish I need to remove them and I go back and remove that and do another shot so just be not super random with your shots set them up the way you like because that way you'll be happy as an editor looking those shots later when you're compiling your entire movie and the last piece of the puzzle that that will give you guys before I head out is go wide what I mean by that is try to utilize a wide field of view so something that is not super zoomed in because I see so many tech you tubers that use your lies macro a little bit too much and you don't get the full sense of the object that you're trying to showcase and sometimes you want to see the whole object there is time place for macro shots when you're trying to highlight any texture or certain little tiny elements on the object and obviously that's important but try not to you a lot try not to overdone overdo that and actually that ties when the entire pattern or theme on this video try not to overdo any of the things that we talked about today and not try to do overdo your slides don't overdo your pants try to see what is a good balance what feels right within the final edit and whatever makes you happy with the finished product so I'm Dimitri with I recognize I hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes of how I pyrrole so I hope you enjoyed this content make sure to subscribe and fall for every behind the scenes and how-to videos for every Friday thanks for much for watching we'll see you in the next they see me roll in b-roll then I promised myself I wouldn't do that but it's in there already
