I have been watching some YouTube channels that analyze movie making techniques, mostly covering writing and directing. The ones I’ve watched the most are called “Every Scene a Painting,” “The Art of Storytelling,” and “Moviewise.” The last one is a bit over the top sometimes, and he tries too hard to be funny or hip or something, but some of his stuff has been very informative. I also like that we don’t see the talking head (except for the middle one in short bursts) because I hate watching videos of talking heads.

For those out there who are also interested in this sort of thing, I would be interested in any suggestions for additional channels along these lines that I might explore.

You might check out [Lessons from the Screenplay](https://www.youtube.com/@LessonsfromtheScreenplay). (It may be defunct now but there is a lot there)

I really like StudioBinder. I always think of it as a channel whose target audience is film students while still perfectly accessible to everyone.

and as I see the thumbnail, I should mention that they do push their software, but usually no more than a mention of it at the end of the video.

[History Buffs,](https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=history+buffs) who reconciles one’s love of history with one’s love for cinema; often an acrimonious union.

Patrick H Willems maybe? He is somewhat of a talking head, and his diversions into comedy to break up the film analysis are not as good as he thinks they are, but he is very smart.

Michael Tucker is fantastic. His videos can be so well-informed.

I do also like Thomas Flight.

Matt Baume’s channel might be of interest too. He focuses on “pop culture history from a queer perspective” but that’s really just a lot of history of Hollywood. It’s not only about movies but they figure a large part.
