When it comes to bettering yourself with any skill, it always helps to look at those who have already accomplished what you wish to achieve. When I want to better my guitar playing skills, I study various guitarists and their techniques so as to learn them and adapt them to my own interests. I firmly believe that it’s one of the best methods to honing a craft.
That’s why I absolutely love how open and forthcoming David F. Sandberg is on his YouTube channel. He uploads videos that show how he puts together a scene, how he envisions the final product, and even how to make the best with whatever you’ve got available. He shows how nothing will stop him from getting the shot he wants and I feel like his thought process could be incredibly useful to any aspiring or even accomplished filmmakers who are looking to change things up a little bit.
Today, Sandberg uploaded a somewhat lengthy video where he discusses how he planned out the scares of last year’s Lights Out. He breaks down camera movements, how to make use of angles, how to effectively haunt people with empty space, and a whole lot more. For those of you who want to make your own films, I feel that if you even learned one thing from this video, it’s worth giving it a view!
