1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,480
Your audience might not recall
every detail of your video,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,360
but they will remember
how it made them feel.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,250
That's why it's
important for your scenes

4
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:11,700
to convey the intended
emotions effectively.

5
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:13,770
Take this scene for an example.

6
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:15,840
With only a few
changes, you can achieve

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,940
totally different vibes.

8
00:00:19,690 --> 00:00:22,060
To give your scenes
a joyful atmosphere,

9
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:25,180
make it feel spacious, and
use bright color tones.

10
00:00:25,180 --> 00:00:30,615
You can also add props, such as
flowers, decorations, and pets.

11
00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:36,670
Try not to make the characters
happy from the beginning.

12
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:39,580
The scene will feel more
alive if their happiness comes

13
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:42,880
as a reaction to
something in the scene.

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,510
And for a touch of comedy,

15
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:46,965
you can add something
that feels out of place.

16
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:51,420
Now let's try a
different emotion.

17
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:57,240
Increase the intensity of
your character's conflict

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,790
by making it take place
in an enclosed space

19
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:02,790
with no visible way out.

20
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:05,190
Then locate the most
aggressive character

21
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,545
as if they're blocking the exit.

22
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:11,050
Have that character
do a lot of movement

23
00:01:11,050 --> 00:01:13,340
to make them appear bigger.

24
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:15,290
As for the meekest
character, you

25
00:01:15,290 --> 00:01:17,195
can enhance their
feeling of stuckness

26
00:01:17,195 --> 00:01:19,195
by choosing actions that
make them look smaller.

27
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:23,635
Let's jump to the next emotion.

28
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:29,480
When composing a
gloomy scene, use

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,490
as few characters as possible.

30
00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:35,690
Sadness is quite often
considered a lonely feeling.

31
00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:37,910
Make the characters feel
small by placing them

32
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:41,940
in a dim environment with
a lot of empty space.

33
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:44,430
If the script requires
your character to cry,

34
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:48,270
give it some time before
they shed their first tear.

35
00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:50,490
And when they do,
show it in a close

36
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:52,300
up to make it more impactful.

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,300
And finally, one last emotion
to add to your toolkit.

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,470
The trick to giving your
scene a creepy atmosphere

39
00:02:08,470 --> 00:02:11,120
is to fill the background
with humanoid props,

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,930
such as portraits and
dolls, and position them

41
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:16,480
as if they are staring
at your characters,

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,350
then shroud them in darkness.

43
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:22,870
Shoot the establishing
shot from behind a prop

44
00:02:22,870 --> 00:02:26,650
as if someone is
stalking the characters.

45
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:29,380
Remember not to show
the scare right away.

46
00:02:29,380 --> 00:02:32,950
Instead, build the
tension slowly.

47
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:35,650
Get the camera closer and
closer to your characters

48
00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:38,080
as the tension builds up.

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:50,050
And try these tips in
your next video project

50
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:54,120
and put your audience on an
emotional roller coaster.
