Hey there, my name is Andrew, and I’ve been making films for over 5 years. I always get asked, “How do you make your videos?” Well, today, I’m here to spill all the secrets!

Let’s talk about stories first. They’re like the backbone of any cinematic piece. Think of it like a pot, a plant, and some soil. The pot is the structure, the plant is the character or subject, and the soil is the development. When these three things work together, you’ve got yourself a killer story!

But how do I even come up with these stories? It’s tough, guys. I used to stress about making stories that I thought others would like. But then I realized, hey, I should just focus on what interests me. And you know what? That’s when the magic happens.

One thing I’ve learned is that what I find dull about my story might be what others find fascinating. So trust your gut, write what you know, and take risks!

Now, onto turning your story into a video. You’ll need a camera, of course. And don’t forget the shot list! Start wide and then go tight to match your visuals with your story. Mix up those angles to keep things interesting.

And let’s make those shots look amazing with some good lighting. Lighting can make all the difference, trust me. Use haze for a softer look, set your background lights, and create that cinematic vibe with a key light.

When it comes to editing, it’s all about bringing your video to life with music, color, and rhythm. Find the right music, nail those voiceovers, and don’t forget the color grading to make your video pop!

And hey, don’t be afraid to fail. Failure is just a stepping stone to success. Embrace those failures, learn from them, and keep pushing yourself creatively. Remember, it’s all about the journey.

So, go out there, tell your story, and make those cinematic videos! And hey, if you’re feeling stuck, check out Milanote for some creative inspiration. Embrace the process, trust your instincts, and never stop creating. You got this! Peace out, friends! 🎥✨
