Watch movies with a professional eye, teach you to know the scenery in the blockbuster, and be a qualified audience with vision! Friends who are interested in camera photography have heard some familiar terms, such as distant view, close-up, close-up, big close-up and so on. It sounds simple, but it's actually very simple. But when to use perspective, when to use panorama, when to use close-up, what are the functions of big close-up and close-up? Not many people believe that they know. At the same time, different scenery can bring different viewing feelings, which is the charm of scenery. Before the formal introduction, let's make a general explanation of the scenery. Movie scene classification: it is the pictures taken by the camera at different distances from the shooting object or in different ranges with the zoom lens. In order to meet people's psychological and visual needs when observing a certain thing or phenomenon, movies can change different scenes at any time, just like in real life, we often look at the whole scene from a close distance, look forward, or stare at the main body or even a part of things according to the psychological needs at that time. In this way, the image reflected on the screen will change more or less; In lens shooting, there are also distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view and close view. In general video shooting, there are usually two ways to divide scenes. One is to divide the scene according to the number of captured characters in the picture, and the other is to divide the scene according to the number of captured scenes in the lens picture. According to the modeling style and performance style, Jingbie can be divided into panoramic series and close-up series. Among them, the panoramic series includes large field of vision, distant view and panorama, and the panoramic close-up series includes medium close-up, close-up and large close-up. In order to get a deeper understanding, I will introduce it in detail with classic blockbusters. Illustration: From the movie "flying swords of dragon gate": It is generally used to determine the big scene of the current event, and also to determine the plot relationship of the story for the later scenes. The typical shooting usage of large field of vision is used to show the vastness of the region, the skyline, blocks or oceans of big cities and so on. Generally, we use a still lens or move slowly without changing the lens structure, and strive to create a quiet, far-reaching, open and broad artistic conception. Generally speaking, we often see such a scene at the beginning or end of an episode of a movie.

Illustration: From the perspective of the movie Harry Potter, compared with the large perspective, people or scenery in the perspective usually account for about 1/2 or even 1/3 of the lens picture. Its purpose is to show the current location, theme and behavior. This is also the most important shot in general video shooting, which contains almost all the elements of a video clip. The distant view can depict a football field, a holiday center or a bathing beach. This kind of shot sets the tone for the video clip and shows the protagonist's activity space. Illustration: From the movie 200 1 A Space Odyssey.

Panorama: Literally, it can be understood that putting a person's head on the top of the picture and stepping on the bottom of the picture is the panorama (the whole body of the character can see it). However, people who feel "stupid" when shooting a panoramic view should pay attention to keeping a certain distance between the top of their heads and the soles of their feet, unless it is in special circumstances, it is not recommended that the protagonist stick to the video frame. Illustration: From the movie "Desperate Driving", the middle shot usually refers to the picture from the top of the person's head to the knee joint or waist. But don't stick the picture on your knees and waist, it's a big no-no for shooting videos. At the same time, do not intercept wrists, ankles and other parts. The difference between the middle view and the panoramic view is that the scope of the scenery is narrowed, the environment is in a secondary position, and the focus is on showing the upper body movement of the characters. The middle scene is a narrative scene, so it accounts for a large proportion in the usual video shooting. Mid shot is most commonly used in two-person or three-person dialogue scenes. Facial expressions and body language can be well reflected in this scene. The lens also contains enough background, so that people watching the video can get richer information. Illustration: From the movie The Shining.

Close shot: The main interception range of close shot is above the chest. Usually this kind of shooting is mainly used to reflect the hero's expression and some body movements. Close-up and close-up are similar in expression techniques, that is, the visual effect is relatively clear, which is conducive to depicting the appearance, expression, clothing details and movements of characters. It can express the emotional communication of characters and reveal their inner activities. Illustration: Close-up shot from the American version of the movie "The Ring of Midnight": Close-up shot is used to shoot the face or part of the main body of a portrait. There are many kinds of close-ups, but in general, people shoot from above their shoulders. Close shot is the shot with the closest viewing distance in the movie picture, because it has a small viewing range and a single picture. The object of expression is highlighted in the whole environment, resulting in an emphasis effect. Close-up can show the emotional changes of people's facial expressions, which makes the viewers infected both visually and psychologically.
