The seventh episode of "Pull-tab Projection Room"-Eight common variations of composition in movies

Pull-tab has skills, and there are doorways to watch movies! Hello, everyone, I'm Director Liu!

learn to pull the tab and let you go to the movies technically!

in this issue, we'll talk about the composition of irregular variants! Good composition can not only express emotions, but also speak! Although composition is a visual form, it can better express and highlight the content, richness and profound connotation. Therefore, filmmakers are not satisfied with basic and advanced composition, and those who dare to break through the routine are masters.

8 kinds of composition variations that are common in movies

1. Repeated composition: Monotonously repeating an object, which occupies the whole picture and has no obvious clutter, can also play a prominent role.

2. Blank composition: It can be divided into positive blank and negative blank. According to normal composition, if a person's eyes are looking in a certain direction or facing a certain side, there is usually more blank space here, giving a space for expansion and imagination. For example, with the help of the three-point line composition, two-thirds of the blank space is left, so the positive blank space is regarded as an echo and foil. And leaving blank in the opposite direction will give us a seed: not in the normal field of vision! Not in psychological comfort! A visual approach! An oncoming breath! A sense of pressure! This is a kind of power of composition, which brings us not only visual experience, but also profound plot impact!

3. odd-numbered composition: in a word, it is better to use odd numbers of subjects in the picture than even numbers. It is mainly used when there are more than 2 subjects and less than 7 subjects.

4. perspective composition: the perspective effect in photography is a common shooting technique, which can produce a sense of space and visual guidance. Perspective composition method is different from other composition methods, which passively accept environmental elements, while perspective composition method changes the size and distance of field elements through focal segments, thus affecting the proportion of these elements in the picture. (single-point perspective, two-point perspective, linear perspective, rectangular perspective, irregular perspective)

5. Depth of field composition: When an object is clearly focused, all the scenes in a certain section from the front of the object are also quite clear, and the distance before and after the focus is quite clear is called depth of field, while other places are also blurred (blurred) effects.

the range of depth of field will affect or enhance the appreciation and expressiveness of the picture.

the size of the aperture can determine the depth of field of the picture.

6. Open composition (a variation of the principle of balanced composition of pictures)

Open composition is to break through a fixed frame. Generally speaking, we all finish the modeling of pictures in a fixed frame, but open composition breaks through this limitation. The audience's aesthetic thinking on pictures changes from closed thinking to open thinking, and the form of open composition is a means to break through the limitations of frames. Open composition is a kind of listening language, and it has several characteristics that make it easy for people to distinguish

(1) The subject of the picture is not necessarily in the middle of the picture, which can emphasize the connection between the subject and the space outside the picture.

(2) The image of the picture is not necessarily complete, which can emphasize the existence of the space outside the picture and the connection between the subject inside the picture and the space outside the picture

(3) Deliberately destroying the balance of composition, making the picture uncoordinated and unbalanced.

(4) The space outside the painting is formed by sound, and the sound and painting are often separated.

7. Closed composition: If there is an open composition, there is a closed composition. The characteristics of closed composition are that relatively complete main elements are displayed in the picture, and relatively complete theme ideas are expressed. The composition is also rigorous, which allows the audience to obtain complete information from a single picture.

8. Contrast composition of picture (variant composition)

(1) Contrast composition of big and small

(2) Color contrast, color difference composition, contrast composition of cool color and warm color

(3) Contrast of light and shade, unique expression of light and shadow. Light and shadow composition method mainly highlights the subject through the contrast of light and shadow, thus highlighting what we want to express, and weakening has nothing to do with the theme.

(4) virtual and real, dynamic and static.

There are many effects of contrast, such as long and short, positive and negative, and so on, so contrast can better set off the theme and highlight the theme. We won't give examples here, but we will analyze this composition in the later pull.
