Keep Learning: Film editing is a constantly evolving art form, so never stop learning and experimenting with new techniques.
This ultimately helped me find a style that I love and stick with.
Also take into consideration certain angles. This can make your videos more interesting.
- Wide Shot (WS): This shot captures the entire scene and provides context for the action. It's often used to establish the setting or location.
- Medium Shot (MS): A medium shot frames the subject from the waist up and is commonly used for dialogue scenes or to show interactions between characters.
- Close-Up (CU): A close-up shot focuses on a specific detail or part of the subject, such as a character's face or an object. It's used to emphasize emotions, reactions, or important details.
- Extreme Close-Up (ECU): An extreme close-up shot magnifies a very small detail, such as an eye or a hand. It's often used for dramatic effect or to convey intense emotions.
- Long Shot (LS): A long shot captures the subject from a distance, showing the full body and surrounding environment. It's commonly used for action scenes or to establish spatial relationships.
