Creating The IllusionFor the month of October RocketJump FRIGHT School releases spooky, horror-themed filmmaking tutorials! However, all the concepts and principles introduced in this video have been used in every style of filmmaking, from cinema's earliest days to the present.
"Movie Magic" is something you hear pretty often. Filmmaking itself is about creating an engaging illusion; bringing an audience into a story so deeply that they forget it isn't real. In this video essay, Joey discusses the unique and creative problem solving required of filmmakers to create and maintain that illusion. Ultimately, it comes down to teamwork: the seamless interlocking of every department and the layering of the different crafts, concepts, and techniques needed to make it work.
Man, 20 minutes is still not enough time to include everything we wanted. Did we miss any of your favorite movie magic tricks? Share them here in our forum!

Editing: Creating the "OH F**K" MomentIn this video, Director/Editor Joey Scoma walks us through a few classic scenes in cinema that demonstrate editing as an effective storytelling tool, and focuses in on a specific technique that he likes to call “The “Oh F**K” Moment.”
Editing is about controlling information – it determines how, when and why we see certain pieces of information or story. There are many different styles and techniques within the art of editing to accomplish this, but the main purpose of each of them is to further the story. In other words: “You need a reason to cut.”

Joel & Ethan Coen - Shot | Reverse ShotHow do you film a conversation? Most likely, you’re going to block the actors, set up the camera, and do shot/reverse shot. But where do you put the camera? What lens do you use? And how do you cut back and forth? Today, I consider the Coen brothers — Joel & Ethan — and see how these choices lend a particular feel to their version of shot/reverse shot.

16mm & 35mm Film in the Cutting Room.
How to cut film on a SteenbeckDawn Trotman and Oliver White explain how they used to edit 16mm film for TV on a Steenbeck. They demonstrate making a cut using some semi-edited rushes, and 'cheat' the cut for a better aesthetic experience.
ADAPT (2013-8) is a European Research Council project at Royal Holloway University of London. ADAPT studies the history of technologies in television, focussing on their everyday use in production activities. ADAPT examines what technologies were adopted and why; how they worked and how people worked with them. As well as publishing written accounts, ADAPT carries out ‘simulations’ that reunite retired equipment with the people who used to use it. Participants in these simulations explain how each machine worked and how different machines worked together as an ‘array’; how they adapted the machines; and how they worked together as teams within the overall production process.

Memories of Murder (2003) - Ensemble StagingHow do you emphasize to the audience that something is important? Well, you could always cut to a close-up, but how about something subtler? Today I consider ensemble staging — a style of filmmaking that directs the audience exactly where to look, without ever seeming to do so at all. NO SPOILERS.
Eight Ways to Get the Audience to Look at a Character:
1) Let Them Speak
2) Make Them Brighter or Bring Them Closer
3) Let Them Move (Especially Hands or Eyes)
4) Put Them in the Center of Frame
5) Turn Them Towards the Lens
6) Separate Them from the Group
7) Isolate Them by Moving the Camera
8) Have Other People Look at Them

Why Framing Matters in MoviesWhen taking a look back at the movies that were released in 2015, something that strikes me is the number of directors who played with the notion of "frame." A video essay by Chloe Galibert-Laîné.
Coming to Keyframe by Jan. 1, 2016: http://www.fandor.com/keyframe
13-Minute Clip Of Martin Scorsese & Thelma Schoonmaker In The Editing Room13-Minute Clip of Martin Scorsese & Thelma Schoonmaker in the Editing Room (with director Michael Powell)
The SteenbeckIf you've ever edited on a Steenbeck machine you'd know that it takes a half an hour to do what you can do in Final Cut in 5 minutes.
Editing as Punctuation in FilmIn January 2014 Kathryn Schulz published an article in Vulture called "The Five Best Punctuation Marks in Literature."
Link: http://www.vulture.com/2014/01/best-punctuation-marks-literature-nabokov-eliot-dickens-levi.html
It got me thinking about what the five best "punctuation marks" in film might look like. I wanted to assemble a video essay with a rapidfire list of nominees of great moments of editing-as-punctuation in film. But as I started putting it together, the project grew into a twofold piece: an analysis of and response to Schulz's article as well as an attempt to spur new insights about editing by examining it through the metaphor of punctuation.
So, here it is: 20 minutes long, clips from 100 films (101 if you count that Woody Allen quotes Duck Soup in Hannah and her Sisters), and, I hope, an inspiration to anyone else who loves film on a formal level and believes, as Bazin did, that the language of cinema isn't done being invented yet.
Thanks to Kathryn Schulz for sending me down this wonderful rabbit hole of thought, and to the editors (in order of their cuts): Sally Menke, Buster Keaton, Abel Gance, Yelizaveta Svilova & Dziga Vertov, Michael Snow, Jonathan Amos & Paul Machliss, Harry Gerstad, William Reynolds & Peter Zinner, David E. Blewitt & Robert K.

We'll start by looking at how filmmakers in the late 90s began exploring creative uses of color. Then we'll take a quick overview of how your digital camera captures color and some basic color theory. We'll finish by designing, shooting and grading a Lolita inspired shot for maximum color impact.

Watchtower of TurkeyOver than 3500 km traveled in 20 days, capturing landscapes from the bluish tones of Pamukkale to the warm ones of Cappadocia, the all passing by a great variation of colors, lights and weathers through six other cities.
I've crossed Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Istanbul, Konya; and tasted baklava, kunefe, doner, the turkish tea; and got the chance to meet the soul of Turkey, its people.. and got their smiles and their hospitality.
This is Turkey lived by me from north to south, and I hope you enjoy it :)

1,001 Movies You Must See (Before You Die)I started piecing this together in February of 2013. It was finished and uploaded on February 2 of 2014 on YouTube where it currently lives no more. It contains over 200 extra titles not featured in the book edited by Steven Jay Schneider, not because I think they're must sees, but because I felt they complimented the video better.<br />
<br />
Animated graphics in the title sequences were done by EE Seitz (https://vimeo.com/84735644).
Variety Artisans: The Seamless Look of 'Birdman'On "Birdman," “Birdman,” director Alejandro Gonzales Innaritu and cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki achieved something very unusual: A film that looks like one continuous shot. But of course, it’s not really a single shot. Digital colorist Steve Scott shows Variety's Tim Gray how they did it.

BREAKING BAD - Motivated Camera MovementFULL ARTICLE: http://vashivisuals.com/breaking-bad-motivated-camera-movement/<br />
<br />
In the final episode of BREAKING BAD...there are two shots in a pivotal scene that are perfect examples of how to use camera movement to amplify the narrative and surprise the audience. With one simple pan and one simple dolly...there is a set-up and shortly after, a dramatic pay-off. The scene at first appears to be just conveying information to the viewer. Then, with one pan and one dolly move...the scene is flipped on its head and is seen in a whole new light. This could only happen through writing, direction, set design and camera movement working in unison. A Steadicam or crane shot through a window could never have achieved the emotional impact of a simple pan and dolly.
Michael Bay - What is Bayhem?There are filmmakers we love and then there’s Michael Bay. Even if you dislike him (as I do), Bay has something valuable to teach us about visual perception. This is an exploration of “Bayhem” — his style of camera movement, composition and editing that creates something overblown, dynamic and distinct.<br />

How Alfred Hitchcock hid 10 Edits in ROPEFULL ARTICLE: http://vashivisuals.com/alfred-hitchcock-hiding-cuts-rope/<br />
<br />
ROPE (1948) is Alfred Hitchcock's murder/suspense film that showcases the killing in its second shot. ROPE is often described as the film with no edits or cuts.<br />
<br />
On further examination...Hitchcock's gem actually contains 10 edits. Five of them are hidden as the camera lens is filled by foreground objects. The other five edits are regular hard cuts that not many people either realize or acknowledge. I've isolated all 10 edits in the video below so you can learn from the Master of Suspense on how to hide your edits without losing momentum in your story.
