I constantly lack equipment I need to buy something to make my image better, this is what most of us think, including me, but today I will tell you how to create an image Like in cinema with minimal resources, how to shoot with professional light for 0 rubles and how correctly position the object in the frame so that it always looks professionally effective and cinematic, no matter if it’s a photo or [music] video what equipment in your opinion may be the most important for shooting video camera suitable lens lighting no, only your knowledge is important when I started my business in general I didn’t know what kind of camera I should buy, but I always thought that if I bought a more expensive camera, it would solve all my problems. I remember the day when I got a good camera, but how to set it up, 8 bit 10 bit, so that I don’t take pictures of landscapes of people, animals, everything is bad around me noise I often watched video tests of different cameras and everything was fine there and my image turned out a little better than on my phone I guess I need expensive light But what a constant search for Which light to choose hard light Soft light Small big [music] light No I need the best and preferably cheap light [music] I don’t know that everything is not there This is some kind of nightmare This is a dead end [music] [music] or the first color that I bought for myself was two large ones, one small one, I also bought a GB tube to highlight the background. What guided me when choosing such a setup, I looked at reviews from bloggers And this is how I learned to place the Light like this or something Well, a little bit like this, like this, like this, like this Well, it’s a little higher, yes It’s a little bit not straight, but like this, like this yes Well, like that Well, not really that much, not even that much Okay, my hand is hurting now, that’s not why Suss, bring it closer, listen [music] Well, for now, there will be a lot of failures along the way, but you certainly shouldn’t be stopped by the desire to do what you like I really like it further I began to study and work a lot read read read practice practice again practice today I want to share with you the accumulated knowledge let's start with light light is the basis is what forms your image Artists paint with paint musicians with sound and video is highly dependent on light it everywhere with us This is what surrounds us If there were no light, life would be gray and gloomy It doesn’t matter what kind of camera you have, an expensive cheap full-frame or a crop sensor without light, you don’t have an image, but still Which light to choose I want to tell you how to use it the best and at the same time free light is the sun, also the light that you have at home, ordinary household light, as well as the light that lights up at night in any city. Here I include any source of Light that can shine brightly enough. These are shop windows in an amusement park. Or a simple lantern. table I don’t want to say that professional light is not needed, but it seems to me that especially for those who are starting out, it would be useful to work with what everyone has and what you don’t have to pay for, knowing this information before, I wouldn’t have sat headlong thinking about what color to choose. I would already start shooting a video, I also don’t want anything to stop you, something like what once stopped me was the constant search for something better and ideal instead of taking and doing and not waiting for you to have the right equipment and the first piece of advice I want to give you is to just start doing it no matter what kind of camera you have, digital film or phone, it doesn’t matter and for me personally it doesn’t matter at all, everything depends on the task or your mood, I just make myself some tea, I take a thermos with me, I go out street and just start shooting [music] [applause] I enjoy what surrounds me, no matter what the weather is like, you can almost always find interesting shots, we are all designed in such a way that the best thoughts and ideas come to us when we are on the move and the sun is shining in our face the second, try to position the subject in such a way that you have some kind of imaginary triangle, this always works in my practice, this is the base from which I start building any frame, this usually looks like This way you have a source of Light, for example, natural light that comes to us through the window of your apartment, you need to position the subject between the camera and the light source in such a way that sunlight was formed, it is difficult to control the sun, an unpredictable source of Light that can hide behind the clouds or disappear altogether. And most beautiful shots are obtained in sunlight, this is not entirely true, you cannot control the sun, but you can control what surrounds you, objects, angles, you need to learn how to build space inside frame, artistic content, the correct angle or size of the frame can pull out your piece, regardless of whether there is now the Sun or not, there is a lot of useful information on building a position, but it is physically impossible to put this information within the framework of this video. Therefore, I decided to make my own Telegram channel, there I will share useful information information, analyze individual shots from my videos, also there I will take off the backstage from the filming and talk with you about film photography and art for those who want to shoot beautifully and with high quality, you can subscribe using the link in the description third, train your observation skills if you like to shoot videos or take photographs I’m almost sure that you love watching movies, there will be a huge number of films, when you watch them, your observational sense will begin to form correctly; this can be not only cinema, but also sites such as vimeo or director libraries where the best works from all over the world are selected when I lack inspiration I can always watch something that is done very well, try to repeat the angle of the idea or the light inside the frame, this is one of the best Practices that maybe you will inevitably begin to grow in your business as the comparison method will work. Fourth, always shoot from the dark side, again, it doesn’t matter that you are filming a person or any object, always shoot from the side where the shadow is located. You will almost never see a different frame structure in all the films that can be made; this is a rule that all operators use and it always works 100% if you shoot the image the other way around then you get the feeling that everything looks somehow flat, there is no cut-off contrast fifth, use a flag or diffuser, especially when working with natural light, this light is quite hard and in order to somehow control it, you can take this inexpensive thing that easily fits your backpack and especially weighs nothing I use it as a flag when I need to add shadows on the other side of the face or diffuse hard sunlight this thing is always with me when I shoot something sixth - bot light For example, I have two light sources: a floor lamp and a lamp that I can I will use it to make a floor lamp to highlight the background ; this will create depth inside the frame, but often household light bulbs are too bright, which will burn out. To cope with the situation, maybe you have light bulbs that are used in bars; they are much less bright and cost about 300 rubles, but there is another option. cut out of cardboard into a circle shape that I can cover the floor lamp and block the exit of Light from above, I also have the cheapest piece of gel filter lying around, we can cut and place a couple of layers of Gel inside the floor lamp and the light will now become less bright also in the Final Cut editing program we We can use a mask to highlight any overexposure zone and reduce the brightness specifically in this zone, then we turn on the main light that will work on the subject, it’s also too hard and in order to somehow soften it, I’ll take a regular stand and attach a diffuser to it, now everything works like a household one I also attribute to light the light that is in every city; it is turned on when night comes, this is also an excellent option. And the most important thing is that you don’t need anything else besides a camera; shoot at home or on the street. It depends on the plan or the task at hand. The most important thing is that you don’t want to do it you didn’t justify it by the lack of professional or expensive equipment, because today you were convinced that it’s absolutely [music] unimportant
