Chaos cinema kinda makes your brain overload., There is too much shit going on at one time all over the place. I think it is a good tactic if you want to hide flaws in the film imo

I wonder how much our brains suffer from the unreal sci-fi. Where the focus isn't merely coming from out of focus and centre of frame, but also from the fact that it doesn't exist anywhere in nature, taking that extra moment to identify who or what we're looking at. Giant robot from stupid angle, meaning we have to orient ourselves to where we're going to see the horizon, and so forth.

the actress kinda looks like Jessica Alba

It's very useful to a young editor~thank you so much!

George Miller is a craftsman and Michael Bay is a third-rate hack. There’s your difference.

❤❤❤, have a look on my own work, book me, etc

Why is this upload 720p max?

Thank you

Gaga was so perfect in star of the born movie. I really don't like her music, maybe a couple songs? Hopefully she will be good for that!

This video has been up for 12 years and hasn't been removed for... reasons? What a throwback.

Love this. As a business coach, I teach and use these soft skills. Not only is it critical to a smooth operation and creating a safe working space, but it's also fascinating. Seeing editing this way makes me question my career path and wonder if it's too late to get into editing as a 48yo 🙂

I hate the chaos in transformers. That being said, wouldn't center framing be the natural human assumption? I mean, if you hand a camera to an absolute noob, it seems to me their first instinct would be to keep everything within the central focus.

I think what mad max is also doing is not changing ratios every single cut :)

8:18 FROM KAMAL HASSAN'S ALAVANTHAN MOVIE (INDIAN FILM - TAMIL)

My favorite detail is that the lipstick smile transfers to him and actually becomes his makeup

In my opinion Transformers has a lot more energy in the battle scenes and it feels also more of a chaotic battle. I would say it is disorienting by design, and it is in a sense good effect. i don't see what other people see in Mad Max Fury Road - although nice cinematography from time to time, but it was story wise frustratingly empty 2 hour chase movie. I hated it and never have wanted to see it again. What comes to editing - I think in action movies there has to be a balance. If you edit everything in the center, yes it will be easier to follow, but it can easily lose the energy, momentum, effect of surprise and chaos.

❤🎉😊

Joaquin Phoenix ❤❤❤

Another reason for more cuts in Mad Max is that it's mostly Action sequence whereas Transformers has a lot of dialogue scenes too. The action scenes are cut faster than Mad Max mostly.

love it

Yet another movie covering the same tired old characters. Had no interest in the first, likewise with the first of many inevitable sequels, prequels & spin-offs

Wow

He has been such a good negotiater with the white diamond that right now I'm here in Guyana 🇬🇾 wishing if I could get to talk about some way forward exploring the amerindian cultures,that will be grateful 🙏

This kind of analysis of a trailer was great dude keep it up!

The eyeline shifts between the lipstick and Harley. I don't think he ever looked at the camera.

My favorite trailer was the one for "The Girls with the Dragon Tattoo" (Red Band Trailer) where it's only a series of shots cut to the beat of a remake of "Immigrant Song" by Trent Reznor. First time I saw a trailer doing something completely different.

For such a crucial piece of machinery it is shockingly fragile. One of four grapples malfunctions and the whole thing fails? Where's the built in redundancies?

I told my wife that the joker sequel is one movie that I must see on the big screen with an excellent sound system.

Filmed in reverse smile match

In what way is this breaking any trailer clichés? I'm not saying it's not a good trailer but it feels exactly like any other trailer - down to the ethereal cover of a famous old song

Love the breakdown....and only just realised you've moved to DaVinci. Same here, missing the FCP X magnetic timeline just a little.

And this is with the first transformers movie, which is arguably more coherent than the rest

I think the lipstik smile is very interesting, because it starts as a tear / sadness underneath his eye and then transitions to a smile.

Excellent analysis, Brother. As a 25 year TV broadcast and trailer editor, myself, I wish I could have had a more cerebral mentor like you. I used music and instinct to carry most of my work, and was likely the first editor who originated trailers without the canned voice narrative. Music drove me and I now see it being expertly used more and more.

I don't think he was breaking the 4th wall

The last shot with the smile matching his was brilliant

He wasn’t looking at the camera or lipstick.

Me thinking it's another Haaland joke

This brought me back to my days of working at a movie trailer house. They were making a movie trailer for a foreign language film to market to English speaking audiences. They barely had any of the foreign language speaking parts in the trailer and went with English VO narration instead. Same concept of trying to not seem like a musical, but it is in fact a musical.

Halfway through the video I was scrolling down to begin my comment with, "Have you seen the Auralnauts trailer..." but then five seconds later, there it was. It's a must-see for anyone making a trailer. I didn't like the first Joker movie, and wasn't looking forward to this one, especially for it being a musical, as I generally hate musicals. But La La Land is one of my top ten favorite films of all time, so now I'm willing to at least keep an eye on Joker 2, to see if it starts to suggest that it might be approaching this in a similar way.

Another interesting aspect to these trailers is how they introduce supporting roles with excellent character actors like the quick shot of Steve Coogan. When I saw that shot I was like. Ok now s*@t just got serious and I'm definitely excited to see this. Its like, here's our two leads. but wait, not just them but this picture will have other utter brilliance scattered through it.

Your analysis is always so inspiring. If I were an 18 year old watching this I could be moved to learn more about this art. Thanks for what you share!

I also thought the eye movement was Joaquin ensuring hitting his mark. I don’t think I noticed it in the trailer or if I did, the feeling when his smile aligns overwrote it ; )

The vibe I get from the trailer is unnecessary rehash, which is typical for any sequel. So many images from the original are repeated (imaginary gun to the head, the steps dance, running from cops in the middle of the street, smearing blood on lips, etc). Pretty pathetic. And I think those are the images that make most of you excited to see it. As for the trailer style, we are at the point where the cliches are starting to not work anymore because we've seen them. In particular, the remixed pop song framing. It's like the "In a world..." narration that dominated trailers for years until it got shamed out of existence.

He looks at the lipstick and then at her. He never looks at the camera. His peripheral vision would be more than enough to align himself with the frame.

song at 16:00?

How dare you tell me that La La Land was almost ten years ago!

I went from disappointed they were even considering a sequel to insanely hyped once they amounted it would be a musical starring Lady Gaga. Unfortunately that hype has died down again once it was revealed it would be a jukebox musical. Like come on, really. It’s like getting the worst of both worlds. A huge percentage of general audiences already hate musicals and won’t go see it anyways so what was the point, you aren’t suddenly getting them to buy tickets to see covers instead of original songs. A joker/Harley musical is such a creative idea. It would have been wonderful to see it done with original music. But at this point they’ve lost the musically uninterested general audience and the musical theatre nerds so whose left? Middle aged white women who enjoy jukebox musicals and lady Gaga? I don’t think there gonna go see joker 2. This movie is gonna bomb so hard. Shot deck subscribers are gonna be the only ones on the theatre lol.
