Hi guys, my name is Kevin. Uh, I'm a
0:02
creative filmmaker, director, whatever
0:05
you want to call it. And I make videos
0:06
here in Paris, mainly fashion videos. I
0:09
also like filming outside,
0:11
environmental. I like filming my city. I
0:13
like filming Paris. And today's video,
0:15
I'm going to give you some tips on how I
0:18
shoot outside, uh, my style, because
0:20
it's my style. It's how I do things. And
0:23
I hope you'll get something out of this
0:44
So if I have to shoot a scene like this,
0:46
uh obviously it's an amazing place. It's
0:48
beautiful. Um the first thing I I have
0:51
in mind is how I can set the scene. Like
0:54
I have to have like a wide shot. That's
0:56
the first thing I'm going to I'm going
0:57
to shoot like a wide shot. Uh so here we
1:01
can start with uh like the first thing
1:03
that comes to mind right now because I
1:05
like filming on the floor. I like
1:06
filming u with intuition. I follow my
1:08
intuition a lot. And uh also one tip I
1:11
don't know if it's like related to the
1:13
video but it's important is to always
1:15
like consume content like consume like
1:17
movies and stuff. uh you can consume uh
1:20
like your f your favorite creators of
1:22
course and you always have to consume
1:24
the best content you can possibly
1:25
consume so that your brain is always
1:27
like having those ideas having those
1:30
shots coming out you know so yeah so
1:33
when you're outside like this it's very
1:35
easy to just come out with cool shots
1:37
because you've been exposed to those
1:39
shot so here the first thing I'm going
1:42
to do is have like a wide shot of the
1:44
scene uh what I like doing in my videos
1:46
is having a foreground element like
1:49
this. I'm going to use those bush bushes
1:51
and I'm I'm just going to use those
1:53
bushes and frame the the bridge behind.
1:56
So, first thing I'm doing is setting up
2:00
my shot. And then I'm going to do a slow
2:03
movement like this. It's like doing
2:06
yoga, you know, slow movement like that.
2:13
and then I go slowly.
2:19
Obviously, it depends which kind of
2:21
sequence you're trying to make. But for
2:23
a scene like this where we are in the
2:25
park, you obviously want to make the
2:27
viewer feel like some it's a chill
2:29
sequence like we're at the park, we're
2:31
walking, we're chilling. So, it's going
2:33
to be a slow paced sequence. So, I will
2:35
go with like really slow shots like
2:37
where you really take your time to get
2:39
those shots. But if I was filming maybe
2:41
a kind of a video for Instagram, like a
2:43
fashion video, something like that, you
2:45
will have like more fastpaced shot where
2:46
I'm like moving a lot. I'm moving like
2:48
making a lot of, you know, whooshes and
2:50
stuff like that. Cool shot. But yeah,
2:51
for this sequence, I'm going for a
2:53
slower pace. So, what I'm going to do is
2:55
like make slower movement like this.
2:59
Okay. So, all right. So, I got the first
3:02
shot, which is a wide shot. Um, I'm
3:05
going to uh I forgot to get like a 24 to
3:08
70. I only have my 24 mil f1.4, which is
3:10
a fixed lens, but we're going to do with
3:12
what we have. Let's be creative here.
3:15
So, yeah, we're just going to move. Uh,
3:18
I got the first shot here and we'll be
3:20
moving trying to get like a different
3:23
angle. I like this angle as well. So,
3:25
I'm going to get the shot. Obvious when
3:27
I'm filming, I try to get as much
3:29
coverage as I can I can possibly have
3:32
because uh when I'm in the edit, I have
3:34
like options to play with. You know, if
3:35
I I have that shot that's I see that I
3:38
look at the shot that I just made and
3:39
it's not cool. I can still use this one.
3:42
Oh my god, it's so hard to speak on
3:50
So, I'm going to go slowly like that
3:53
and then going back like that. Slowly
3:59
Okay. Uh, now I'm going to try to pick
4:01
up like maybe some details here of the
4:10
So I'm going to do like a different type
4:12
of shot. Maybe move like this. No,
4:26
Okay. So, uh, I can get another wide
4:28
shot like this. Can get a shot of this.
4:37
Always slow movement.
4:48
So, one tip when you're doing this kind
4:50
of pushing, what one tip I like doing uh
4:52
that works very well to get like a very
4:54
smooth shot is to uh stop breathing. I
4:58
try to like when I I want to get like a
5:00
really smooth shot, I will like and then
5:02
I will stop breathing and then I will
5:03
just focus on the movement.
5:07
So, I'm going to do it right now.
5:19
or you can breathe but slowly.
5:29
Also, uh I like filming handheld a lot
5:31
uh because it's like a lot of freedom,
5:33
you know, it's like an extension of my
5:35
my hand, so I don't have to carry too
5:37
much weight with me and I I feel much
5:39
more freedom when I'm filming handheld.
5:42
But what the problem uh that comes with
5:44
filming handheld is that you cannot like
5:46
you cannot make like long takes uh ex
5:50
unless you are really good at you know
5:52
like uh ninja walk you cannot make
5:54
really longer take so you really have to
5:56
be really good with like how you
5:58
stabilize your camera. Uh that's why I'm
6:00
trying to like keep the camera tight to
6:02
me and and really make this low slow
6:05
movement you know. Okay. So, we're going
6:27
bro. I'm trying to like get the birds.
6:34
I don't know if that looks cool.
6:56
Okay. Nice. Just shooting right now.
7:06
Okay. Uh we are introducing you guys to
7:08
a subject. So, I've been filming the
7:11
scenery kind of and uh now I'm I'm I'm
7:14
going to try to like tell a little story
7:16
uh with what's happening. So, basically,
7:18
she's she have a camera. So, what I'm
7:21
going to do is like she's uh going at
7:23
the park, chilling, and then getting
7:25
some cool shots as she's a tourist. She
7:28
came here to visit. She's basically uh
7:30
yeah, getting some memories from uh
7:33
Fakoso. So, let's go. The first shot I
7:36
will get of her is just her like walking
7:38

7:44
