A lens refers to a paragraph of an image taken continuously during the start and stop of the camera. The requirement of a shot is only continuous shooting, no matter how long it takes, how many scenes have been changed and how the angle of view is.

Generally speaking, a feature film consists of about 500- 1000 shots.

The use of lens opens up a broad space for the artistic expression of film and television. The combination of lenses is "montage", and ingenious combination can produce various expressive artistic effects.

Color in film and television art is not a simple representation of real life, but an artistic expression factor.

A film and television work often chooses a color to occupy the dominant position of the picture and become the keynote of the picture color. This is because, although color itself has no emotion, it will have a certain impact on people's psychological feelings.

For example, cool colors such as cyan, blue, blue-green and blue-purple will remind people of the sea, Woods, night and so on. , give a person a kind of quiet, cool and peaceful feeling.

Warm colors such as red, orange and yellow often remind people of flame, sunshine and maple trees, giving people an upward and warm feeling. Therefore, according to the needs of the content of film and television works, maintaining the harmony and unity of colors is the basic requirement of color processing.

The color tone of film and television works is subordinate to the overall emotional tone of film and television works, because it is not only the main component of the overall visual atmosphere of the works, but also the main visual means to form the emotional tone of the works.

For example, the use of color elements such as Big Dyeing Room, Hanging Red Lantern High and Yellow Land has formed a unique visual atmosphere and emotional tone of the film, which has produced a strong artistic effect.

The sound in film and television art includes language, music and sound.

Language is mainly composed of dialogue, monologue and voiceover. Dialogue is dialogue, which is a mutual dialogue between characters in film and television works.

Voiceover refers to the sound made by people outside the time and space of the picture. In works, people can express their memories of the past or their longing for the future, and they can also convey their own voices.

Film and television music is a special music form associated with the visual image of film and television, including interludes and background music. Film and television music needs to be integrated into the overall artistic image design of film and television, which is independent and integrated with visual image to create the audio-visual aesthetic feeling of film and television art.

General acoustics includes action acoustics, natural acoustics, background acoustics, mechanical acoustics, gun acoustics and special acoustics. These stereos play an important role in the narration and lyricism of film and television works.

Film and television composition refers to the objects shot in front of the camera, including dynamic or static and various modeling elements, which are organically organized and distributed in the picture according to the order of time and space to form a certain picture form.

The picture composition of film and television has its own theme and time. The subject can be a person or a thing, and the picture composition is centered on it to arrange and configure other minor parts, and the arrangement of other characters and environments should serve the subject.

The basic purpose of film and television composition is to make a two-dimensional picture produce a three-dimensional spatial effect by putting the picture elements in different positions and using different focal lengths and scenes.

Different composition methods will show different artistic expression.

Light is the basic medium and main tool of film and television art, one of the basic conditions for film and television works to create visual images, and also one of the most important modeling elements and means.

With light, film and television works can show the form, texture, color and movement of visual image in the picture, and create the atmosphere needed for film and television to express content.

Due to the different styles of film and television works, creators often need to establish a tone in the use of light. For example, crime movies and horror movies usually use low-key lighting, while musicals and comedies usually use bright pictures without shadows.

Different light directions (such as backlight and photometry), intensities (such as strong light and weak light) and qualities (such as soft light and fluorescence) will also produce different artistic effects, which all depend on ingenious artistic creation in film and television production.
