Part 2. 5 Useful Tips to Create Cinematic Videos

Using a camera to record while doing some action never helps to create a classic cinematic video. Cool intros are always filmed with a little bit of planning. Some skills and some magical tips are used to create aesthetic video intros. If you want to create a movie intro, then the information shared in the section below is perfect for you.

1. Create a Mind Map

As mentioned earlier that planning is required before you start filming. So hence, the most useful tip for creating cool video intros is to sketch your mind. Whatever you have planned, roughly draw it so that it is easy for you to compile your thoughts and create something amazing at the time of recording.

Having a bird' eye view of the vision, you have in your mind helps you stay on track even under pressure. Also, the sketching part contributes to open your mind so you can welcome new creative thoughts.

2. Shutter Angle and Shutter Speed

The best shutter angle to shoot is 180 degrees. At this shutter angle, the shutter speed is double the frame rate. If you are shooting at 24 FPS, then your shutter speed should be 1/48. If you are recording something in slow motion, then you should increase the shutter speed.

3. Color Grading

Lighting and color grading is another aspect that requires your attention. Filming in good lighting is essential. If something still doesn't seem right, then color grading or color correction will save your life. In the post-production phase, while editing, you can color correct and color grade every bit of the footage to make it seem attractive. Remembering the key point is that nothing can save you, not even color grading if you film in poor lighting.

4. Shoot and Edit at 24 FPS

The standard for shooting is 24 FPS (frames per second). Shooting at 48, 60, or any other frame rate than 24 will affect the quality of your film. It won't look like a proper film. Also, viewers expect us to film at a standard FPS because our eyes and brains are trained to expect 24 FPS throughout the years.

This standard 24 FPS makes the movie intro look cinematic in appearance instead of making it look too realistic.

5. Cinematic Crop

While learning about editing, you come across various processes. Few of which are easy, and few are tough. Cinematic Crop is the easiest way to edit your video intros. By using this method, your film looks very professional.

Your computer widescreen monitor is 16:9 or maybe 16:10. At the same time, the big screen aspect ratio is 2.35:1. We are converting from standard widescreen to an ultra-wide big screen. You might have to crop the edges to give a cinematic appearance.
