Six shooting techniques for short videos?

In photography and graphic composition design, composition is the most important, and creators should express and combine themes and themes according to requirements. In order to form a harmonious and complete picture, it is necessary to properly organize the image to be expressed.

We need to pay more attention to the production of short videos of new things, combine them with the traditional art above and pay attention to composition. In the process of shooting, it can prevent the picture from being confused. If the subject is not prominent, you can highlight the main body of the work through composition, with clear priorities and concise and detailed pictures, which makes people look pleasing.

The second is to prevent jitter.

When some people shoot videos, we often see the picture shaking badly, which makes people very uncomfortable. No matter how good the picture is, it will bring a bad visual sense to the audience and make people feel that they don't want to watch it any more. How to prevent jitter when shooting? There are two points for reference:

0 1 Use anti-shake equipment, such as tripod, monopod, anti-shake stabilizer, etc. Now there are many anti-shake devices on the Internet, such as mobile phones, cameras and stands. We can equip one or two or so according to the required equipment.

Pay attention to the action and posture when shooting, so as not to adjust the big action greatly. For example, when moving to shoot a video, the amount of action of our upper body should be reduced, and the lower body should move slowly and in small steps; Keep the upper body stable when walking, and only move the lower body; When the lens needs to be rotated, the above is the rotation axis, so try to keep the joints of both hands still to shoot.

The third is to know how to transport mirrors.

Pay attention to some changes in the picture when shooting. Don't focus for a long time. You can't shoot the whole course in one posture. We should make the picture full of changes by pushing, pulling, following the camera and shaking the camera horizontally. For example, when shooting at a fixed point, people should pay attention to changing the whole picture by pushing the lens for panorama, middle shot, close shot and close-up, otherwise our picture will be very boring.

The fourth is to pay attention to the use of light.

As we all know, whether shooting video or photos, making good use of light can improve the effect of photos or videos we take. In the process of shooting, we should use forward light, backward light, side backward light and scattered light to highlight objects and people, and at the same time ensure the clarity of the video. It is not enough to have light and darkness. When the light in the venue is insufficient, we can make up for it by proper lighting.

The fifth is post-production.

After the video shooting is completed, post-editing is needed, such as screen switching, subtitles, background music, special effects and so on. Your own creative theme should be clear, your ideas and scripts should be well done, and you can add transitional stunts, special effects, multi-pictures, picture-in-picture effects, picture color matching, etc. in the editing process, but you should pay attention to the special effects. Reasonable special effects are cool, but too much will give people a dazzling visual sense.

Sixth, the time should be appropriate.

As the name implies, a short video means that the duration of the video should be controlled within 60 seconds. Nowadays, the video played on most short videos is generally between 20 and 60 seconds. For most of us, our eyesight begins to decline after 30 seconds, so it is suggested that the video shooting time should not be too long, and it is best to control it within 60 seconds.

That's all. Have a preliminary understanding of short video shooting and skills. If you have difficulty shooting by yourself and don't know how to do it, you can find a professional short video shooting team, such as Juqi Engine.
