സംഭാഷണം ഷൂട്ട് ചെയ്യുന്നത് ഇങ്ങനെ | How to Shoot a Dialogue Scene

ഏതു സിനിമയും ഷൂട്ട് ചെയ്യാൻ പഠിക്കാം, ഡയലോഗ് സീൻ ഷൂട്ട് ചെയ്യാൻ പടിക്കുന്നതിലൂടെ. എങ്ങനെ ഒരു സംഭാഷണ രംഗം ഷൂട്ട് ചെയ്യണം എന്ന് നിങ്ങൾക്ക് അറിയുവോ? എനിക്ക് അറിയില്ലാരുന്നു.


Once you know how to shoot a dialogue scene, you can shoot almost any film. I failed because I didn't know which was the right shot. Do you?


00:00 Intro

Most aspiring filmmakers think they will figure out how to shoot a scene after they are on set and everything is ready. But if you want to become a professional filmmaker, you have to learn otherwise.


A dialogue scene is one of the most common scenes you will come across in any film (any film on humans that is). So learning to shoot a dialogue scene ensures that you can shoot almost any film.


Disclaimer: None of these are to be taken as rules, but only guidelines.


01:17 1. What is the Purpose of the Dialogue Scene

Every scene in your script should be serving a purpose: push the story forward.


01:42 1.1 Why Purpose

Without it you have no direction. Without a direction, how do you know which is right from wrong?


02:59 1.2 How to Identify a Purposeful Scene


04:06 2. Preparing to Shoot a Dialogue Scene

This is the fun part. All you have to do is just sit back, relax and do the following:

- Imagine

- Storyboard or Shot List

- Rehearse


04:28 2.1 Imagine

Observe how the written words inspire visuals in your head. Let your imagination run free. You don’t have to know how to shoot that crazy imagination of yours right now.


05:36 2.2 Storyboard

Take a blank piece of paper and roughly sketch out the images you saw in your head. Use stick figures. You don’t have to have any special artistic talent. Trust me. I don’t.


06:35 2.3 Why Storyboard or Shot List


07:43 2.3 Rehearse The Dialogues Scene with Actors

Let them learn the dialogues and work off of each other, while you guide them to bring the scene to life. This gives you new inspiration (angles, dialogues, frames). Let it all guide you to make something better.


09:09 3. How to Shoot a Dialogue Scene


09:33 3.1 Shooting the Dialogue Scene

1. Take the Shot List

2. Place the camera

3. Position actors

4. Roll camera and action

5. Check shot list. Repeat.

Focus on developing your craft.


10:55 3.2 Fun Fact


12:06 3.3 Rules of Shooting a Dialogue Scene


13:41 Concluding

So how do you shoot a dialogue scene?

1. Find the scene's purpose

2. Imagine the scene

3. Storyboard it

4. Rehearse with actors

5. Shoot it and practice

ഐഡിയയിൽ നിന്ന് കഥയിലേക്ക് | ഒരു പുതിയ സീരീസ് - Turning an Idea into a Story (Malayalam) | A New Video Series

ചോദിച്ചപ്പോ അത് പറഞ്ഞു തരാൻ പറ്റില്ല എന്നാണ് ഞാൻ ആദ്യം പറഞ്ഞത്. എന്നാൽ ഈ സീരീസ് തുടക്കക്കാർക്ക് ഉപയോഗപ്രദം ആകും എന്ന് ഞാൻ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നു.


00:00 Intro


01:03 Gaming

A game that I loved to play as a child. I had not been on set for over a year. I missed creatively solving challenges.


02:16 The Game I Once Loved Playing

It takes a while to get the hang of all the controls and the gameplay. So I searched for gameplay videos on YouTube.


03:16 Watching Gameplay Videos

Found videos documenting things from the very beginning, the decisions, the whys, the implementation, over many months and years.


04:24 A Gameplay of Art Creation

Why did JK Rowling give Harry round spectacles and not square? What was James Cameron thinking when he first saw the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean? Whatever it was, it earned him the Oscars.


07:07 Gameplay of Turning an Idea into a Story

And there was my solution! A series of turning an idea into a story and then a film.


08:41 Challenges in Documenting

What if the film becomes a massive success? What if it doesn't or if it takes 10 years or never ends up on screen because I decide the story isn't working? 


These are exactly the fears and risks of every writer that I hope to capture for you! In sharing my story in this documentation journey what if someone steals my story? Again! Another fear of every artist.


Many have had the idea of starting a burger joint. But it was the execution of McDonalds that made it a massive success. It is not the idea that matters, but the execution.


09:38 What I Gain by Documenting My Journey

- help you

- sharing my learning

- not only turn my ideas into films, but do it for others as well

- build an audience

- binge worthy playlist on how the film came about


11:56 Language I Will be Using

Though I write in English, the final film and the videos will be in Malayalam (my mother tongue). If you are a Malayali who is not comfortable with English, writing parts might be difficult. If you are not a Malayali, then the videos and films will be difficult.


12:17 Expected Timeline

- 2022 November: Release film

- 2022 January: Start working on film 

- 2021 December: Publish story

സിനിമ സംവിധാനം എങ്ങനെ ചെയ്യാം? | How to Direct a Film (Malayalam)

എന്റെ ആദ്യത്തെ ഫിലിം സെറ്റിൽ പേടിച്ചിട്ടു എനിക്ക് ഞാൻ എഴുതിയ സ്ക്രിപ്റ്റ് പോലും കാണാൻ പറ്റുന്നില്ലായിരുന്നു. എന്റെ മണ്ടത്തരങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് ഒരു സിനിമ സംവിധാനം ചെയ്യാൻ നിങ്ങൾ പഠിക്കട്ടേ.


On my first film set I was so scared that I couldn't see in the script. I hope you can learn how to direct a film from my stupidities.


00:00 When I went to Direct a Film

One of the first times I went to direct a film I was so scared that when I looked at the script that I myself had written, all I could see were black dots. I hope you can learn how to direct a film from my stupidities. Here are 4 very basic things you need to know to direct a film.


01:33 An Engaging Script

In Ramayana you wonder if Ram will ever get Sita back from Ravanan. “Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty”, said William Archer. Every story that holds your attention till the end will have such an element.


02:31 Right Actors for Right Parts

It is one of the most important jobs as a director. Bad acting is easily spotted by audience. It takes practice to live in front of the camera. Find actors who match your character and knows to live in front of the camera.


03:21 A Crew to Direct a Film

The better the communication among your crew, the better what ends up on screen. The most important ones:

- Cinematographer

- Sound

- Editor


When choosing look if:

- Know their job well

- Good to and fro communication

- Trusts you and your vision


04:17 Basic Understanding of the Film Language

Easiest way to learn is by watching and analysing films. For more, 

- read https://www.amazon.in/Film-making-Alexander-Mackendrick/dp/0571211259/

- or watch https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuntSxVsd5TNh8KJJysrDZCV8cz-ptFXI


05:22 Bonus: Learn by Making Film After Film

Make as many films as possible for the least amount of money and time so that you can go through many iterations and learn the various departments quickly. Akira Kurosawa started as AD working in each dept, before he got to direct.


06:22 From My First Set

After being scared on set of my first film I made 10 shorts, and a feature film, while currently scripting the second film. Start wherever you are. If I can, you definitely can.

ഷോർട് ഫിലിം എങ്ങനെ ഉണ്ടാക്കാം? | How to Make a Short Film (in Malayalam)

ഷോർട് ഫിലിം ഉണ്ടാക്കാൻ അറിയേണ്ട 4 കാര്യങ്ങൾ. കഴിഞ്ഞ 8 വര്ഷം കൊണ്ട് പഠിച്ച കാര്യങ്ങൾ. 4 things you need to know to make a short film, in Malayalam. Learned from 8 years of making films.


00:00 Most searched short films

Did you know that Malayalam and Bangla are probably the languages with the most number of shorts films being made on YouTube. How do you stand out in such a crowded space? My journey into filmmaking started with the first short film I made in 2012. From what I learned in the 8 years since, sharing here 4 things you should know to make a short film.


00:59 Use the gear you have

What aspiring filmmakers focus on the most, but what least affects an audience is your gear. Today you can shoot not only a short film but an entire feature film on a phone. We did. You can also record sounds on your phone if the sound design is ready.


03:08 Perfect Casting

Whatever you may do behind the camera, audience sees your efforts through the actors in front of the camera. Three things to look for:

- matches the character

- studied acting (formally/informally)

- experience in front of the camera

Don't skimp this.


04:53 Choosing an Editor

A film is born when two images (audio of course) are put together to form a third image in the mind of the audience. Two things to look for:

- can tell stories

- knows the technical skill


05:44 Most Important, Story Structure
