How to shoot a movie-like image with a mobile phone without filters and later stages?

In the eyes of the older generation, "film sense" is actually a kind of "film sense", with a little trace of aging and a little graininess;

But it is actually a storytelling atmosphere created by props, lens language, sound field, composition and other elements.

The so-called film sense is characterized by "the picture is more vivid, the darkness is deeper, the white field is brighter, and the details are not lost";

Mobile phone shooting is feasible, such as Apple's Spring Festival series of short films (Three Minutes and A Bucket by Jia).

The sense of texture originally refers to the material realism of objects expressed by sculptures, paintings and other works of art, but it is above the level of detail in photography.

For example, the skin is soft or rough, the cowboy is tough, the jewelry is shiny, the glass is transparent, the steel is hard, hard and cold, and the silk is smooth and elegant.

But the core of film texture lies in: true story sense+artificial lighting+harmonious tone and so on.

The true story and film still exist in the plot, mirror image, later stage, technique, BGM and so on. , related to "people". The movie is called a glimpse of life;

"We don't just take pictures with cameras. What we bring to photography are the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the roads we have traveled and the people we have loved. 」

So the equipment is not important. What matters is the head behind the camera. A flower, a tree, one person, one scene, one movement and one silence are all stories in your lens.

"The photo is amazing, it is a gift to be opened in the future!"

After all, a good video work can make the audience realize the author's mentality and emotion, and bring * * *.

Secondly, artificial lighting, light is also the core of photography. The texture and even the formation of the whole picture are composed of countless points, lines and surfaces. These points, lines and surfaces are all light.

The film sense is mostly due to the lighting, and the carefully arranged artificial lighting will bring a strong tone level, showing a sense of drama that is difficult to see in real life.

Take "cinematic" portraits as an example, we need to tell stories with photos, pay attention to the integration of scenes and emotions, that is, think more about how to express emotional state in scenes.

Especially photos taken at night, such as "crossing the night" and "breaking the rules of light", will give people a mysterious, magical or romantic feeling.

For a typical example, Du Qifeng's PTU has a strong rhythm of light and shadow.

Harmonious tone, then, I understand that harmonious tone refers to the mature color style of photos, which is comfortable to look at in people's words;

Before color matching, you need to determine the style of the photo and what color tone to use. For example, the works of Xiao Qingxin in Japan are generally bright, which requires you to increase the brightness and shadow.

Specific color matching ideas: the overall tone is dark, the warm color is orange, and the cool color is blue; Other colors have low saturation, which unifies the overall picture coordination; Add particles, dark corners and slight fading to create a rubbery feel.

This is also called "movie color", which shows that your unique style is biased. For example, Chongqing Forest is blue and Beating Heart is magenta, depending on the content theme or emotional connotation.

In short, proper color matching can often enhance the emotional expression of works and enhance the texture of works.

Finally, the proportion, tone and lighting of the picture serve the sense of story and the plot.

The key to making a good movie is to shoot more, watch more and think more; Try to figure out the composition, mirror movement and light of classic films, and try to imitate and copy them.

Good photos are not only true and natural, but also undergo necessary high-level processing, and post-editing is also essential!
