It's really hard to believe that this quality content is free on youtube. God bless you guys!

@jackjac

This channel has the most production value for film knowledge I've ever seen. I freakin love this!

@sadnessinabox

As a Media teacher, I can honestly say Studio Binder videos are ESSENTIAL and so useful for helping young students understand key concepts. Can't wait for Episode 10!

I've been really passionate about movies since I was a little kid and at first wanted to become an actor when I was around 13,  as I got older around 18/19 years old I got really interested on how movies were made and wanted to be a movie director, I'm 40 years old now and having learning disabilities all my life and having other issues such as OCD and high anxiety has made it extremely difficult to get my foot in the door. I failed high school and thought I couldn't learn anything and thought I was extremely dumb, but this channel has taught me a lot on behind the scenes of movies and I love the way you break each part of Filmmaking down so a below average Joe like myself can really understand it. I'm looking into courses like screenwriting and cinematography or anything to get my foot in the door in Filmmaking. I really appreciate this channel, thank you.

@papakufi

I believe the next generation of directors owes this channel a huge favour. You are to me, and from what I notice on behalf of many others amidst the greatest (although I personally think the title of the greatest is to be granted to you). Thank you for granting each and all of us this knowledge <3.

@artlovepeace42

I just want to say the amount of work that you all put into these videos is not unnoticed. Finding all the clips, editing, marking the clips for us viewers, writing, narrating; these all take an extreme amount of work and time at the level that you are producing at and I want to give my deepest thanks that you put the time in. Thanks a million for this incredible series!

9:10 -  The “Iris Transition” was created with an external aperture, placed in front of the camera lens. The camera’s own aperture is insufficient for creating the “Iris Transition”, since any adjustment would continually be darkening the image and increasing the depth of field.

@Liberti_Deveraux

I have learned so much from this channel it never feels like I’m in my bed watching YouTube videos. It’s truly a classroom EXPERIENCE!! Thank you so much!!!

Studiobinder doing more work for future filmmakers than most film schools

@SoVidushi

Transitions have always fascinated me since they always help with pacing and make the video/film feel way cooler. Thankyou for this video

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:01 Films consist of sequences, sequences of scenes, and scenes of shots. Episode 9 of "The Shot List" explores 9 essential editing transitions, starting with the most basic: the cut.
01:32 The cut, an instant switch between shots or scenes, is the most common transition. Future episodes will delve into its nuances for storytelling enhancement.
02:19 The Fade, a classic transition, involves shots dissolving to or from a solid color, like black or white. Fades create openings, closures, or pauses for reflection in a film.
05:10 The Dissolve is a gradual transition directly into another shot, suggesting the passage of time or signaling a memory. Superimposition creates a third shot with both scenes shown simultaneously.
07:04 The Match Cut connects two shots instantly using elements from the previous scene. It bridges time and space, creating comparisons and conveying story and character beats.
09:19 The Iris, an old-fashioned technique, focuses on a specific element by opening or closing a circular frame. Modern cinema uses it for stylistic choices, as seen in "The Departed."
11:03 Wipe transitions, replaced by shot B moving from a specific direction, offer a vintage look. Often used ironically for comedic purposes, as seen in "Star Wars."
13:11 The Passing Transition involves a moving character or object to smoothly transition to the next scene. It hides the cut, adds a hyper-stylized aesthetic, and pairs well with strategic sound design.
13:46 The Whip Pan, a quick horizontal camera rotation, adds energy to transitions. It can sustain momentum from the previous scene, as seen in "Boogie Nights."
14:28 The Smash Cut is an abrupt cut with high contrast in visuals and audio, commonly used to shock or jar the audience. It is effective for transitions between contrasting scenes.
16:16 J-cuts and L-cuts, audio transitions, create new context using sound and image. J-cuts precede the image with audio, while L-cuts carry audio from the preceding scene into the following one.
18:43 Various transitions like push, zoom, luma key, and barrel roll offer endless creative possibilities. Understanding these transitions helps in creating momentum, connections, and engaging the audience.

I remember being fascinated with passing transitions when I was a kid. Then the simple J cut was the ultimate mystery, didn't knew how they made a simple cut so smooth. Turns out the answer was in the sound the whole time. Never knew it was called liked that until now. Thank you for another amazing video!

@SuBeKuTah

Being an aspiring TV series creator who is looking for funding and currently unable to invest own money, I hugely appreciate all your free content and templates. What a golden age for self taught indie producers and writers! My editing experience comes from creating fan clips and show reels (the former being a rather difficult task, if you want to establish a narrative, due to L cuts and J cuts 😄), so I knew most of these transitions but found it extremely interesting to learn what they're used for by professionals and also that some cuts I've noticed but would've just called a cut have specific names (like the smash cut).

Props to studio binder and whoever edits for producing these high quality videos!

Best film making channel so far ❤️❤️

@tracywhipple4364

My partner and I recently moved into the fiction film realm. He has been directing/editing docs for 25+ years/I am an actor and recently began shooting my first film which I wrote AND direct AND in which I act. He just so happened to catch me watching the Essential Film & Video Editing episode...and got some new knowledge dropped on him. I'm excited to work with him to edit my film and employ some of the techniques you cover. Even long-time filmmakers can benefit from what you're putting out. Thank you!

@jordanbooth4470

Imo, that ‘literal’ match cut from Lawrence of Arabia is the greatest edit in cinema history. The close up of Lawrence and the match, we’re confined in a small space, the suddenly we’re looking an absolutely enormous expanse of land over a sunrise, and we feel very isolated in a huge open space, just genius stuff.
