Since I started posting videos on youtube,
one of the questions I often hear is,
"How do you do those transitions?"
Okay. So today, before we start this first ever tutorial,
I would like to thank all of you guys for supporting my previous vlogs.
And it means a lot to me because, I never expect anything.
I just want to make videos, do my passion
aaaannnnd, yeah!
Okay, so right now, we are going to a place where we can shoot. So, let's go!
Okay, so right now, we are here in a place with a lot of walls
and I think this is a nice place for the transition we are about to do
which is called the 'Frame Blocking'."
So for this transition, we just need something that can cover the lens.
Either if it's an object, people, or wall."
Okay so we need two shots and they should be the same movement.
If your shot 1 is going to the right,
your shot 2 has to be going right as well
and the color of the object or walls are the same so that your transitions are smooth.
 
 
 
 
 
So the next one is 'Sky Transition'.
For Sky Transition, it's the same as the first transition,
but we no longer need something that's covering the lens.
Instead, we just need the sky and for the first shot—
the subject then go into the sky.
and the second shot, from the sky to the subject."
The third transition, I'll just call it 'Cause and Effect'.
And for this transition, we just need shot one to the cause of the effect of shot two.
So, for example, in shot one, I pushed the camera,
so in shot two, the shot has to be going backward (away)
because I pushed it away in shot one.
And, I shot it forward just to fix the framing,
then I'll just reverse the clip in editing.
 
So for the next transition, I'll call it 'Movement Match'
and this is basically my favorite out of all of them and
the cuts are quick but with the same movement.
If your shot one is dolly, then your following shots should be dolly also.
If your shot one is panning and tilting, then the following shots should be the same.
And with the speed of the cuts, it would look super smooth
because the first and consecutive shots are all one movement.
So another one is 'Whip Pan' or 'Whip Tilt'.
So for Whip Pan, we need to move the camera to the right or to the left
then the second shot should be the same.
And then in editing, we just cut the clip in the middle at the part where there's a motion blur
so the transition is smooth since the spin is moving in the same direction.
The same idea works with 'Whip Tilt' only you move the camera up or down.
 
And the last but not least, the most common out of all is
'Covering the Camera'.
 
 
Okay, so all the transitions you've seen
can be done using camera movements only
and small editing. *wink*
It's all about timing, the right way of cutting between those shots
and right at the recording of the shot, the shot should be executed correctly
so you have less work to do when editing.
And guys, this is only part 1 of transition tutorials
because I have a lot more to share with you!
Aaaannnd it's getting kind of late
because I'm about to leave in 5 minutes so, I have to hurry.
Before I end this video, I have a major announcement which is...
I won't be able to post for about 2 weeks
Not because I don't want to post but,
we have important things to do. Me with my team.
And we're going to a place which is far far away.
And you will know the details soon!
8-10 days... Not now!
So guys, I hope you learned something in this video and yeah.
My name is, Miko Tiotangco and thanks for watching!
