You can use Christmas lights to create nice bokeh and give your scene depth a cheap string of Christmas lights really can add texture to a scene
String them up in the background and then shoot at a low aperture to send them out of focus da da
I know what I want for Christmas. Christmas lights? No, anamorphic lenses
Wait, did you want Christmas lights?
Use a hi-hat to shoot from low angles to give a unique perspective
sometimes just looking at things from a different perspective can give your
Cinematography a fresh look and this shot from our film hunted
We've got the camera as low as we could to film up on the actor. I like how that angle feels unexpected

Faster shutter speed can remove the motion blur using shutter speed creatively is something I've used in music videos

Using reverse action
Sometimes creating a stunt or effect might be difficult in standard speed so filming it backwards and then reversing the footage in post
Can make these more difficult shots work for example, and this shot of running into the garage. The close-up was shot in Reverse
So I actually didn't have to bash my head into the garage
That looked painful. I do my own stunts. Oh really?
Or here in this shot from one of our star wars fan films to create the illusion of the lightsaber flying towards the Jedi we
Threw the lightsaber into the dirt and then reverse the footage this can also work
Well, if someone is having a tough time hitting their mark just have them start on the mark then move in Reverse
for example
If a character has to point a gun a certain way just have them start the shot with the gun already in position
Then put it away. In post just reverse it. And boom you have them hitting the exact mark. Boom. Like a gun
No, no, this is loaded for my office
