All Techniques

  1. Lens & FocusShallow Depth of Field

    Only the subject is sharp and the background blurs, so the eye gathers on one spot.

  2. Optical & In-Camera EffectsDiffusion / Pro-Mist Filter

    A filter in front of the lens makes bright areas bloom softly and the image softer. It feels dreamy and film-like.

  3. Optical & In-Camera EffectsLens Whacking / Freelensing

    You detach the lens slightly from the camera and shoot with it held by hand. The focus drifts to one side and light leaks in through the gap, making a dreamy image.

  4. Camera MovementCrane / Jib Shot

    A big rise or descent creates a grand reveal or a majestic ending.

  5. Camera MovementDrone / Aerial Shot

    Gliding smoothly from high above to show the terrain, the scale, and a sense of freedom.

  6. Camera MovementSteadicam / Gimbal

    A person carries the camera and walks, yet it glides without shake, so the footage looks polished.

  7. Camera MovementCable Cam / Spidercam

    The camera moves along cables strung above a stadium or venue, crossing high over a crowd or following from above.

  8. SpeedSlow Motion

    Stretching a moment stresses beauty, weight, and emotion.

  9. LightingGolden Hour

    The low, warm light around sunrise and sunset brings feelings of emotion, nostalgia, and happiness.

  10. Film & Format LooksSuper 8

    Big grain, faded color and a slight wobble make it look like old family home movies.

  11. Film & Format LooksKodak Portra

    Natural skin tones and fine grain give a soft portrait-photo feel.

  12. Film & Format LooksKodak Gold

    Warm yellow tones and moderately visible grain give a nostalgic feel, like a family album from your parents' generation.

  13. Film & Format LooksPolaroid / Instant Film

    Slightly faded, soft colors inside a white border feel like a photo that just came out of the camera.

  14. Film & Format LooksDisposable Camera

    A direct front flash lights close faces brightly and leaves the background dark, with grain and slightly soft focus mixed in, like a memory snapshot.

  15. CompositionGolden Ratio / Phi Grid

    Place the subject on lines that divide the frame by the golden ratio (about 1:1.618) or on the golden spiral. The phi grid's lines sit a bit closer to the center than the thirds lines, so the result feels stable yet not monotonous.

  16. CompositionTriangle Composition

    Connect three points, such as three people or a head and two hands, to form a triangle. A base at the bottom feels stable, and an inverted triangle feels uneasy.

  17. TransitionsDissolve / Cross-Fade

    Two scenes overlap as they change, giving a sense of passing time, a flashback or a soft mood.

  18. TransitionsFade In / Fade to Black

    Start from black or fade out to black to mark the start, the end or a big break.

  19. TransitionsLight Leak

    A warm, analog transition with orange and red glows, as if light had leaked onto the film.

  20. TransitionsWhite Flash

    A momentary white flash that gives a feeling of impact, a flashback or a camera shutter.

  21. TransitionsFilm Burn

    A vintage, intense transition of light and color bleed, as if the film were burning.

  22. TransitionsDefocus / Blur Transition

    Focus goes soft, then comes back sharp in a different scene, expressing a dream, a flashback or a shift in point of view.

  23. TransitionsFade to White / Wash

    The picture slowly fades to white, leaving an ambiguous ending that suggests a dream, death or a realization. If a fade to black feels like closure, a fade to white leaves the interpretation open.

  24. Rhythm & StructureCutting to the Beat

    Time the cuts, movements and transitions to the music's beat, giving rhythm and a satisfying feel.

  25. Short-Form GrammarKen Burns Effect

    Slowly zoom in on or move across a still photo so it looks like moving footage.

  26. Color & FinishingLUT (Look-Up Table)

    Apply a premade color conversion table to give many clips the same look quickly.

  27. Color & FinishingSelective Color

    Turn the picture black and white and keep only one color or one object in its original color, to hold the viewer's eye there.

  28. Color & FinishingVignette

    Darken the edges of the frame slightly to gather the eye toward the center and add a cinematic mood.

  29. Export & SpecsDenoise

    Reduce grain, shimmer, and texture that changes from frame to frame to clean up the picture. Too much makes skin and grass look smeared like plastic.

  30. Export & SpecsVideo Stabilization

    Analyze the small shakes in the picture and move against them to cancel them out, cropping the edges a little to make the footage smooth.
