When the actors and actresses were filming kissing scenes, were they really kissing?

No. Nowadays, as long as there are emotional scenes in TV and movies, there must be kissing scenes. In the past, I foolishly thought that these celebrities were really kissing again. Because there was really no trace of fraud on TV, but after reading major entertainment reports, I realized that none of the kissing scenes between the male and female actors actually included a real kiss.

After all, if I really get kissed every time I kiss in a scene, I don’t think anyone in the entertainment industry would dare to act again. For kissing scenes, they usually use some clever methods to film the kissing scene well without actually kissing the other person.

1. Borrowing method

The borrowing method is a relatively common method. It creates a visual illusion through some dislocation means. The actors and actresses left a small space between them, and then made kissing gestures to each other, but of course they didn't kiss each other. Then through the movement of the camera, you think the two people are kissing, but in fact the two people's mouths do not touch each other.

2. The partition method

There is also the partition method. Two people will put a layer of plastic wrap or a transparent partition between the mouths. In this case, when filming a kiss scene, the two people will only kiss each other on the partition instead of actually kissing. The advantage of this method is that the photos taken are more realistic.

3. Blocking method

The blocking method is when actors and actresses prepare for a kissing scene, one party holds the other party's face with his hand, and then appears when filming. The effect is. The actor caressed the actress's face and it looked like the two of them were kissing, but in reality they were keeping a distance. It's just that the actor blocked it with his hand, so it creates the illusion that the two of them are kissing.
