EPIC Video in BORING LOCATIONS – 7 Tips for Getting CINEMATIC FOOTAGE anywhere
7 Tips for Getting CINEMATIC FOOTAGE
What Can You Do When You Don’t Have Access to Epic Locations?
Getting epic shots in epic locations is often ideal, but not everyone has the same opportunities to travel and visit these places. But there are still ways to make the most of any location and create amazing shots.
Tips for Getting Cinematic Footage Anywhere
- Angles are Everything: Going low to the ground can instantly transform a scene and remove distracting elements. Shooting from the top down can also add interest. Handheld shots can capture movements that aren’t possible with a gimbal.
- Lighting: Softening the sun with a 5-in-1 reflector diffuser will help to give a more balanced exposure to the background. Artificial light can create a natural-looking shot.
- Lens Choice: Prime lenses are best when trying to knock out a background by blurring out distractions. A 35mm lens is a great all-purpose focal length.
- Depth: Moving the camera to the side will help to create depth in the image. Using a foreground element can also add movement and depth.
- Details: Focusing on close-ups can help to connect shots and fill b-roll.
- Grading: Don’t be afraid to mess around with the colors. You don’t have to settle for a natural look.

Are you using Sony catalyst browse to stabilize your footage? Like your getting WAYYY smoother footage than I am capable of getting on a gimbal 😂
Very informative video. Thank you.
Tip #1 Hot women
Just use green screen XD
Peoples garden's are epic, just replacing certain types of locations with others doesn't indicate that it's adjusting something that was boring, gardens are detailed in their minutia by their owners, though in some sense you've let a 3rd party make a more local area feel more epic. The main thing a garden lacks is a feel rugged danger to the environment, since you don't want to be slicing open your hands while pruning your plants, no problem with epic. Shot framing is valid no matter where you are, you're just given more space in the wild. Still like working on cinematic footage, just don't agree with the terminology
Sir, Can you please make a masterclass on how to correctly use Reflectors and Diffuser.
The only problem with tube light, that as its reflection in the eyes are so unneutral at 3:35. Octoboxs are the best but not really portable.
Great video
Okay well first of all, a 9.5 super model helps.
Great Video, big inspiration. Just wanna grab my camera and lets go !
your thumbnail is in no way epic
Yeah get a hot chick + reflector and you'll figure out the rest just take zillion angles and frame rates..
Tip #1 is hire a good looking model. That's it, that's the only tip needed really.
