For centuries artists have struggled with how to visually depict feelings which don’t exist physically. How do you show something emotional which can’t be seen? In this video I’ll unpack the cinematography in some of Euphoria’s season one episodes by introducing how the production process of a TV series works, break down the visual approach of the show and show the technical approach taken to achieve the desired on-screen look.

“Capturing a Feeling rather than reality, is more important.” Wow
The real heroes of Euphoria was the focus pullers. Some of dolly shots were absolutely crazy
Do they still need focus pullers for digital cameras?
@@anuvindat8419yes! Also euphoria was shot on film :)
Euphoria is just a masterpiece of a teen drama show, it is serious, realistic and often dramatic at times with its cinematography to show the emotions and scenarios. I actually can’t wait for season 2 and the 2 episodes being released December to keep the fans happy and investors until Season 2 comes out and is filmed.
I'm looking forward to the 2nd season too. Apparently production was pushed due to the pandemic but hopefully it'll get a 2021 release.
@@InDepthCine yeah they where supposed to film the new season September and then it got delayed till 2021 jan-feb. They filmed the special Christmas episodes tho so that’s good. Before it took 8 months to film season 1. 8 episodes took 8 months to film I think. That’s not even counting the editing and marketing...so hopefully it gets released late 21 or early 22.
with Euphoria and Waves, the cinematography in teen based entertainment last year was truly incredible
waves ? is that a tv show
@@farahmejri it’s a film that’s extremely underrated and you should see
That South African accent coming in clutch, represent
That's what I thought 😂
Education for free i am loving it.
pois é !
Definitely I have learnt a lot from this channel
@@PHlophe oxe?
"Skins" and "Euphoria" are a great comparison to themes, characters, cinematography, etc. great reference, both classic shows! ✊🏾👍🏽
This is great. Would love to hear your thoughts on Donald Glover’s Atlanta
Good idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@InDepthCine 😊
@@InDepthCine Would love to see this as well!
That would be dope
@@InDepthCine !!!!
I think it would be cool to see you analyse the style of cinematographer Sven Nykvist, the work he did with Ingmar Bergman is absolutly outstanding!
YASSSSSSS 1000x yes his lighting is so gorgeous!
I asked for the same last month......I guess IDC is already busy with lined up projects.
never clicked so quickly
I’m so grateful to the universe that I found this channel 😭
Tyvm for tackling series instead of only movies. I always wondered how a series maintains a lot of its identity with a constantly changing credits at then ends of episodes. Feels like a far more daunting task than simply doing a movie. I hope one day you may find a show like Deadwood (or it's recent movie sequel that attempts to tie up the series that ended somewhat early) for review, or a recent movie Killing A Sacred Deer which I found really engaging.
This is one of the best cinematography channels i’ve ever discovered!!! Thank you so much for all your amazing content 🙏🏼
Appreciate the support. Glad you enjoy the videos.
Really enjoyed this. I was always curious about how they did all this. Especially the long tracking shots on the long roads when they’d ride bikes at night. Those were always confusing and intriguing
I can't even put into words how good and informative your videos are, thank you so so much
Amazingly well done show, the cinematography was simply arresting throughout
Season 2 was shot entirely on ektarchrome film!!! How brilliant is that for a tv show like this❤️
How have a not seen this before? There aren’t enough good channels focused on studying cinematography. Great work!
Well made analysis! Thank you for doing these, I am learning a lot.
This is by far the best cinema channel on KZhead. Congrats!
Thank you so much for this. Ive been waiting for a video revealing the hidden secrets of this Amazing series. Thanks! and nicely explained.
im studying an "audiovisual" degree and definitely ive learned a lot more in this video than in my university, so thank you!
I love your videos! Extremely informative!
Amazing work as always, I feel like I learned a lot!
Excellent analysis, as always
Absolutely needed
I love both of these works. Thank you so much for the incredible video and art lesson! Highlighting more women cinematographers would be amazing.
increible trabajo! muchas gracias por compartir esto con nosotros!!
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!
loved this video, great work man, You have just won a subscriber.
Your editing skills are top notch
amazing content and the video super well put! better than most of my lectures!
That was a super interesting video! Well done :) I'm excited for the next ones!!
Glad you found it interesting. Thanks for the support :)
It’s darnest thing that Emmy didn’t recognize this show’s innovative part that I enjoyed every minute of it.
I think it's because they didn't submit the Magnolia inspired epiosde(the carnival episode) which was in my opinion the best ito cinematography
love your videos so much. You rock!
probably my favorite video essay ever. my goodness.
About time!!
Best video I saw about Euphoria
Absolutely brilliant.
Truly beautiful.
thank you for this amazing video!
As always awesome video
Damn. This taught me so much.
Wonderful video Grey, it seems like a lot of things shot digital use and play with color as a substitute for the lack of texture film grain offers. Not a bad, I’ve just noticed it and think it’s a fun “work around”. My favorite painting is Christ In the Desert by Ivan Kramskoi btw :)
Love these
I would very much like to see a video explaining how to analyze a movie like you do because I really like your analysis
Great to see my favorite TV series contrasted with one of my favorite movies, Call Me By Your Name.
beautiful and well done.
That's amazing man! Where did you get all that technical information?
Loving these breakdown videos as a filmmaker. thanks .. make more ✅
Thanks for watching. Will do.
you kill it every time!
Yes I’ve been waiting for this
So good mate!!!!!!
Loved your video! I think you should do another video for season two. The creator of the show changed the camera from digital to film. I wanted to see what if your thoughts.
This is very helpful!
That was awesome, thankyou :)
"Fiebre Amarilla" de Juan Manuel Blanes, que grande! Uruguay nomaaa.
Excellent video.
I would love to see you look at the style of the late Néstor Almendros, he shot some of my favourite films, especially Days of Heaven and Kramer vs. Kramer. This was another great video, I loved Euphoria.
Will have to make a video on him at some stage. His filmography is pretty legendary.
I can't believe this is free ... Excellent video!
Great stuff.
Thank you!
Woah really informative
God bless you sir!
I enjoy learning filmmaking through your videos. I am a freelance cinematographer and has no film school degrees and learning everyday from sets. can you please give an in depth video on how to lit up different scenes in with different lighting setups and equipment. Thank you.
I just love your videos so much! I subscribed to you because you have taught me so much about cinematography. I am actually pursuing engineering and am pretty sure that that will be the thing I will end up doing for the rest of my life, even if my real love lies for cinematography. I am from India, so here the job of a cinematographer is basically non-existent and their work is not really even considered when we talk about films. However, despite all this, my love for this art never faded. I hope that maybe, just maybe one day I might end up becoming one and my work will be known, but the realist inside me knows that won't come true. Your videos however have taught me so much about this art that I could had never imagined. Although my friends and even parents get bored when I talk about the thought process that goes into creating scenes, I still from time to time keep learning more and more about this work. Sometimes I question why do I do this when I know I won't be able to pursue this career, but there is just something about this art that just.....makes me want to learn more about it anyways. You have played a major role in keeping my interest in this work, and to that, Thank you. Please, never stop creating these videos! You are like my teacher in cinematography
Thanks so much for watching. I think anything that fuels your passion is a good thing: whether you enjoy learning about it, appreciating it or doing it. Glad you get something out of these videos!
@@InDepthCine I guess that's true. Thank you for the positive words! On a side note, I know I said that cinematography here is not appreciated, but there are a few gems here that really stand out. If you ever get time, can you explore Ewan Mulligan's work in Article 15 and Mulk. He is not that popular but I was very impressed by his work in these films. Also, Rajeev Ravi's work in the Gangs of Wasseypur films. These are the few Indian films where the cinematography really stands out. I know that a foreign language can be hard to understand, but recently Netflix has made gangs of wasseypur available with eng subtitles, with the interviews of the people that worked on it with eng subs as well, so if you get the time you can check it out. Just a humble request, and thank you again for teaching me so much about this art. Please never stop making videos!
What do you mean by saying that cinematographer’s job is pretty much non-existent in India - a country that produces the most films in the world annually?? 🤔
@@DarkWildSaison Sorry maybe I think i didn't frame my words properly. I meant to say that they don't get enough recognition for their work in the Indian cinema, or are known to the general public. You can see that I even requested to analyze my own favourite cinematographers from the Indian cinema, that the majority of the public does not even know, despite their amazing work.
Great video
First thank you for your job it's always great quality and well explained! Euphoria looks like shooted by Rina Yang right? (some elements you describe here are the same in your Rina's video)
The expressive use of coloured lighting and bold camera movement (shot on the Alexa 65 or LF) are popular visual approaches many younger DPs are using at the moment. Rina's definitely one of them.
@@InDepthCine Aw ty for your answer 😊
Great
Fine, clear analysis. Thank you. A very basic question: how much of this colour work is in-camera and how much was done in post? You note the use e.g. of tungsten / LED contrasts. What about the rest of it? Many thanks.
VERY good video, thank you. But an interesting one as it’s never felt like ~emotional realism over realism~ was solely up to the cinematography in film/TV. Certainly in paintings that’s different, but Euphoria often felt so heightened ALL the time in the way it looked. The “elevation” was happening at story points that weren’t even emotional, as if they were just hoping to create a “new realism” rather than focus on emotional realism. It seems that emotional realism can be achieved in so many other ways than just lighting and camerawork but that may be a discussion that includes the directing and definitely the writing as well
Some of those shots look like an RGB Carvagio painting. Which makes me wonder: what do people think about the tradeoff between flowing tracking, uncut shots vs. static, long-held, patient composed shots. I imagine the flowing shots work for Eurphoria and the story that's being told, where emotions aren't well-composed and boundaries feel fluid. I think of 1917 too. I don't know if I remember any one shot. But I remember feeling the flow. I know that you can still have great composition in fluid tracking shots too, like with the extras used in the foreground of the carnival scene here in Euphoria. But I guess it's harder to catch and savor. I know the story dictates which is better though.
So glad you tackled Euphoria. I am very surprised that your take on it implies directors don't have a say in how the episodes are shot, especially the "pilot" episode. If all was decided between the DoP and Show Creator, was the director just there to direct actors?? I'm having a hard time believing the first episode director didn't take a big part in deciding how the camera would move, the colors etc. If you have any resources to share that go in-depth about this, I'd love to check them out. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for watching! Directors certainly have a say in the specifics of each episode and how each scene plays out. It's hard to know exactly how much visual impact each crew member had on the episodes they worked on but I'd say that the basis for the look of the show was primarily created by Levinson and Rev (based on this article for example: deadline.com/2020/07/euphoria-dp-marcell-rev-sam-levinson-hbo-interview-news-1202977123/). I imagine the director's would then work within that brief, adding their own creative touches while sticking to the core look of the series. Levinson created the show, wrote all 8 episodes and directed 5 so definitely had a strong say in the overall look and tone.
@@InDepthCine thanks for the answer. Not so long ago, the director of the first episode of a show was considered the Bible builder (a recent exemple would be Reed morano for handsmaid tale) and receive residuals for each episode directed afterward. It does seem that euphoria has been handled differently
@@nathaliesejean Another great show which is also beautifully photographed. I want to make a video soon on Reed Morano's work as a DP.
I'd love to see your case study on American Honey, it was quite an exceptional production with no script, shot wild on an open road
wow, was it really shot with no script?
@@santyvalens yes
by the end of 2021, you will reach 1M subscriber.
Not me looking for videos like this and then I hear you speak. Howzit chomi 😂🇿🇦
Thank you for another great post. Some obs: for human eyes primary colors are RGB - Red, Green and Blue. At 6:30 you inserted Red, Yellow and Blue colors, traditionally basic colors of pigments (painting). Why? Because Maecell Rev talks more about yellow? And Orange - blue is more like orange - teal on the color wheel (complementary colors) - famous colors set in Hollywood - orange teal look.
Would love to see a video on Wally Pfister's cinematography style
The one dislike is from Realism.
The teal and orange look is not created only with the use of the light fixtures you mentioned. Even with a WB shift, a daylight fixture will never look teal, it will look blue. And the tungsten at 3200 will look yellow, not orange. The use of gels onset or the use of colour grading in post-production is necessary to achieve that boring teal and orange look.
🙌
i just realised they weren't using digital to shoot the movies, i mean while i was watching i was like... ohh they are emulating 35mm color but they were actually using 35mm 🔥🔥😍😍
I can’t tell y’all how happy I am as Hungarian guy seeing Marcell Rév making waves in Hollywood
haha ugyanez!!:) valahogy reménnyel tölt el
Now the third day ! plis
What is the painting at 00:50? Wonderful video as always!
Do one video on Cinematography style of Seamus McGarvey
Hi Gray, don't know if this is a thing you'd be willing to do as your channel seems to focus more on the creative side of things, but can you do a video explaining the difference between f-stops and t-stops?
Hey Emile. Thanks for the suggestion. Will hopefully get around to making a video on that topic in the future.
You should do a video on some hungarian DP like Vilmos Zsigmond and others...😁
I understand this and appreciate it but i watch the house party sequences in the show and I'm like where are these high schoolers getting those crazy lights for this party
Tell me what post production gear they used? Although, the series have seamless transitions throughout the scenes.
Can you cover the work of Robby Müller!!
please breakdown Netflix's dark series
I think you should check out Ida and Cold War. It would be a great analysis video
2 of my favourites! Lukasz Zal's lighting in those films is unbelievably good. Thanks for the suggestion. Both good films for analysis.
What’s the photographers name who inspired the show not Peter Petra Collins, but a male luminous space artist
I have yet to see this. Now I’m forced to.
Can I ask what font was used in your thumbnail?
Hey pal, could you explain slumdog million direction?
Where do you go to research these videos???
The only problem with hollywood is camera moves without a reason and most of time its all over if you want to really see aesthetic camera movement check kurosawa work.
Any shows or movies that have dynamic camera movements?
