Ahoj! This is Zdenka. Here is a quick b-roll shot with this little camera in
60 frames per second.
and today I'll show you how I filmed it. We'll talk about
composition, framing, angles and all that and then I'll take you to my editing
studio where I'll show you how I put that piece together. Don't go anywhere.
And for the new faces, welcome. My name is Zdenka Darula. I create photo and video

Let's start finally. Now, I know that a lot of people on this channel own entry
level camera Canon M50 and most likely you are shooting your b-roll or
planning on shooting your b-roll at 60 frames per second because the super slow
motion 120 frames per second is only at 720p. Now, logically I wanted to create
video like this where can see the visual result and hopefully you can pick a few
things here and there. Now this video is filmed with Canon M50
which is right now here on a tripod but the actual b-roll I'm gonna be filming
with Canon m6 mark ii. The camera, the settings, these 60 frames per second, all
is pretty much the same like Canon M50 so you can just very easily follow along.
And besides the camera I am using just a kit lens 15 to 45 millimeters. I'm gonna
be also using ND filter which is right now right there. I'm gonna put it on
there. Should have bought 2. I don't have 2 right now. And let's look at the settings.
So the shutter speed has to double. So it is one 125th of a second because we are
shooting at 60 frames per second. ISO is bright. There is no overcast day,
there is no clouds whatsoever so it is 100. And the f-stop. I'm gonna keep very
low. That's why I'm gonna be using the ND filter. F 3.5 because I want some of the
parts sharp and the background nicely blurry, I want some boceh to get that very
nice look. In one of my past videos actually one of the latest videos where
I was filming with my smartphone and DJI Osmo mobile 3 I had a plan.
It was a story so I had everything planned out, each shot. But this time
there is no story. There is no plan whatsoever so I'm just gonna shoot a
whole bunch of different clips around here. Bring them on a computer and try to
edit it to the music, see how it feels to get that feel out of the whole b-roll
depending on my personal style. Well let's go and do it. So I'm gonna start
with the establishing shots showing off the whole place. I'm gonna shoot it from
two different angles. From Center and then from the side. Because I'm showing
such a bigger landscape I'm gonna be actually raising the aperture
little bit to the F/5.6 because I want a little bit more sharpness once
I'm gonna be shooting more details then I'm gonna lower you down to F 3.5 and
the way I hold my camera I hold it a little bit lower in the center of my
body because the lower I go I'm finding the shots just looks way nicer.
What I didn't also mention is that the auto focus right now is on and I'm just
using a zone because it's a large area so I'm not doing one point or
anything like that, i'm just using zone autofocus. So right now I lowered
my f-stop to F/3.5 because I'm gonna be shooting with this cool
fence and I want this kind of a shot going forward
as I'm gonna be going forward the fence will be sharp and then everything else
will be nice and blurry. Now the way I am framing it most of the fence will be on
two-thirds of the shot so I'm using the rule of thirds and where the fence ends
it's kind of on the left side I don't have the fence ending right in the
center of the image just to make it kind of boring but I'm gonna bring it a
little bit to the left to make it more interesting and when I was doing this
shot I was not using the zone anymore but I use using spot metering for
out-of-focus next to close-up shots I'm going to use
the red ground over there and that white line so I'm gonna go very close to the
ground moving forward still I have the spot metering and just be a very small
move I'm gonna show the very very close-up ground and the era the same
thing applies to the wide line the shot with the white line I'm gonna toot in
two different directions once I'm actually gonna be doing with the Sun so
I have to be very careful because my arm can create a shadow so I have to kind of
hold it this way so I didn't get that shadow on a white line and then I'm
gonna try the opposite way I'm gonna shoot against the Sun as well
the next shot I'm gonna be doing is just going from the pole straights to the top
to show the lights and then around the pole very tightly show the lights on the
top now I zoomed all the way in to 45 and so my approach aright now at this
point if F six point three
next shot I'm gonna be doing is dividing these two area by the fence I'm gonna
start here and pan to the right I have F 3.5 because I want the background sharp
but I want the front very blurry and I'm actually gonna focus first and I switch
it to manual focus to make sure when I'm passing the fence the other photogate
case is not jumping on me the one shadow saw me panning but what I did for the
next one I was just kind of passing by so I didn't pan this way but I was
panning this way that completely changes the things then I wanted to do a little
bit of a transition so what I was doing I was just kind of swinging the camera
in all kind of directions and in case there is some kind of a quick switch I
can put in the Edit and then I just continue taking different Clips mainly
close-ups taking advantage of different shapes and textures
well I think I have enough of footage around here so let's go to the studio
and edit the piece before I show you what I've done here on a timeline let's
talk about the music I didn't have music picked first I was looking for music
with a strong beat something more interesting I found about four different
choices three of our dance music one was rock now when I was thinking about
baseball I was imagining kind of guy strum and playing baseball and the dance
music just didn't go with it I thought it was a little bit too feminine so I
definitely wanted a rock music it's got faster beat which I don't mind because
it sports and if you are interested in checking out epidemic sound where I'm
getting the music from the link is in a video description below you will have
the first month for free well I'm muting the music so it doesn't
bother us let's look at the timeline and it is a mix of clips which I obviously
filmed all at 60 frames per second when I imported them on timeline I started
working with them some of them I slowed down to 80% others I slowed down all the
way to 30 percent I was also using a lot of speed ramping when I did speed
ramping for example in this first clip the footage was slowed down to 40% but
here at the speed ramp I went all the way to 400% because it is a fast music I
don't mind the fast jitter kind of the fast move there and then slowed down at
the end again so let me play that as little transitions like for example
right here I was using those clips where I was holding a camera and kind of
waving it from the side to the side in all kinds of directions I found little
bits and pieces which fit with the background and it's literally just a
tiny one here we go and it fits between those two clips that's my transition
another transition was right here the same way I was just moving the camera
like this so it was a very very short clip pretty much
right here and I believe in this one because I wanted it a little bit faster
I actually sped it not and I didn't keep it at hundred percent I sped it up to
160 percent another speed ramp is here on this clip because if I would go from
the sides of the sand fence to the other it would just take forever so at the
beginning it was very slow and then I went fast and in slow again and in the
middle here I actually sped up all the way to 1000% I went all the way up so
this is how it looked like let's move on another quick transition here so again
this is where I was shaking the camera around and that's all it was it was just
a lot of small Clips some of them I slowed down to 40% 80% and some of them
in the speed ramping I really went up with the speed like here for example all
the way until 1000 % now then I created adjustment layer on top where I was just
color grading the images and here are the changes I made I was working with
Dimitri color panels just basic correction and then color wheels match
and some creative I actually saved this lots and is available to patrons on my
patreon page so for two dollars only a month you can get an access to all my
lots and Adobe Lightroom presets which I will be monthly posting on my patreon
page and that will actually help me support this channel and push more
videos like these for you the adjustment layer on the top here helps you because
you can color great all the footage on a timeline and that's exactly what I did
when I was filming all the clips I made sure the Sun is in my back so I have all
the clips looking the same with the same light that way I knew that I don't have
to go to individual clips to try to match them to each other I can just do
the adjustment layer calibrated once and it will apply to everything last thing I
want to talk about is the cinematic bars obviously this is how the footage would
look like if there would be no cinematic bars
those are the bars on the top and at the bottom but because I wanted it there it
looks a bit more fancier it will make it look like it is you know in a movies so
I kept it there so now let's Anna Mewtwo the music and play the whole result all
over again well I hope you liked today's video hit thumbs up button if you would
like to see more videos like these because they will be surely coming up if
