What problems do you usually pay attention to in video shooting and speech shooting? What's the best location?

Shooting a meeting requires some skill. The following are the problems and some solutions that the author thought of after watching several films of the conference. First, get a tripod and a battery ready.

Meetings usually take a long time, and most of them require full recording, so it is best to shoot with a tripod, and it is best to have enough videos and batteries, otherwise you may miss some scenes of the meeting;

One advantage of having enough batteries is that you can take the camera off the tripod when someone blocks the subject, and you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of running out of electricity when you follow the shooting.

Second, prepare to shoot.

If you have no confidence in your adaptability, you should be prepared to try your best. Before the meeting begins, first ask the meeting group for the meeting agenda. Be prepared in advance. Before every procedure of the meeting begins, you should have waited in the best seat to avoid being in a hurry and not knowing what to shoot.

Third, the distribution of space-positive space and negative space

A related rule is to maximize the positive space-this is a composition technique, which defines the appearance space in front of the actor as positive space and the space behind the actor as negative space. For example, in a close-up, the area in front of the subject's head (the direction in which he stares) is positive, and the area behind the head is negative. When shooting, leave more space in the direction of positive space, otherwise the characters in the lens will look like "hitting the wall", which is very uncomfortable. In meetings, you often take photos of speakers, so pay attention.

Fourth, shoot the spokesperson.

It is best to shoot the speaker from the front, so that the whole front of the subject can be clearly displayed. When shooting, the subject should be located in the center of the shooting picture, and the speaker's persuasiveness and attraction can be expressed through his eyes, expressions and gestures. For important speakers, use a full-length or half-length close-up picture, and take the elbow or waist of the arm holding the microphone as the tangent point to intercept the picture. In addition, pay attention to the subject's posture and gestures, and leave enough space on one side of the speaker's gestures.

Five, shooting elements

There will be some prominent theme arrangements at the conference site, such as banners, backgrounds, models, flowers and so on. Pay attention to bringing these elements into the picture when shooting, so that the audience can understand what you want to shoot and enhance the visibility of the picture.

Sixth, avoid being boring.

Many meetings are not lively, and most of the pictures are made by the speakers on the stage. In this case, you can cut off the lens and cut the picture away from the venue to enhance the image expression of the picture. Of course, if your post-editing ability is good, you can also switch some related pictures, so that the whole meeting will have the seriousness of the documentary without boring the audience.

In addition, you can turn the picture to the audience when the speaker is handing over, but if the audience happens to be taking a nap or whispering, you must pay attention to "no discussion"! Pay attention to the slow change of the picture when shooting the meeting to highlight the serious atmosphere of the meeting. Don't change the scene quickly at will, and don't use the zoom lens frequently, so as not to give people a dazzling feeling.

Seven, post-production preparation.

Because meeting minutes are mainly used to shoot feature films or news films, the shooting method is the same as that of news, but it is more artistic. It should be noted that special materials should not pursue fancy in the picture, and never use picture transformation stunts to shoot special materials, because the picture stunt processing needs to be completed in post-production. It is best to use the "clip" screen more during the shooting process to facilitate the later dubbing. The so-called "cut" is to fix the camera position, adjust the aperture, speed and white balance, and shoot continuously for a few seconds.
