Photographic steps

Camera skills. In daily life, directors need cameras to shoot movies and TV series. Only by mastering the shooting skills of the camera can we make a good film. Next, I will show you more camera shooting skills.

Camera shooting skills 1

1, familiar with the equipment

There are always accidents in life, so whether you can make the most timely response and adjustment accurately and quickly in actual operation depends on your usual understanding of the equipment.

Step 2 be parallel

If there is no special artistic requirement, we should try to make some geometric edges in the picture parallel to the lens frame when shooting, that is, "horizontal and vertical". This geometric edge is sometimes the ground, sometimes the desktop, and sometimes the roof edge.

3. Hold the screen steadily

Usually, you can do this exercise at home: hold things high, but still keep them stable. If the degree of hand shaking during shooting seriously affects the visual effect of the video, then even if the selected content is wonderful, it will always make people feel imperfect.

4. Learn to divert attention

Shift the focus: find two objects in different positions in your frame, then practice shifting the focus from one object to the other and then back again.

Application: For famous scenic spots, if you shoot directly at them, the lens will naturally lack vividness. At this time, the lens can naturally turn to the object to be highlighted through a moving object, which is equivalent to bringing this object into the picture.

Step 5 find the angle

Different objects have different suitable shooting angles in different situations, and such corresponding methods are generally regular. For example, it is recommended to choose prone shooting and close-up shooting when shooting food; It is more suitable to look up by patting the fallen flowers. Therefore, we should usually shoot more different kinds of things and accumulate experience in shooting angles.

6. Small animals

Presumably, people who like filming will not refuse to let small animals enter the country. Their participation not only makes the video more lively, but also adds a little interest to the video content. If people and animals can interact, they will certainly achieve more loving results.

Step 7 make up a story

Try to shoot several different pictures, expand the association and connect them into a complete story. This is more conducive to the development of photographer's thinking and even strengthens the connotation of video.

1, hold the camera in your hand.

I believe many people don't know how to hold the camera correctly. Most of the professional cameras we see are carried by people. Those big guys are giants, and it's not easy to handle them well, but the digital camera in our hand is much easier to handle, just hold it in our hand. But do you think you can hold the camera in one hand? Wrong. Holding the camera with two hands is definitely more stable than holding it with one hand, even if our DV is only held with one hand. The shots in TV programs are very stable, which is one of the reasons why we like to watch them. If the screen you see keeps shaking, I believe everyone will turn off their appetite, which will cause nausea and vomiting in severe cases. Therefore, we need to keep the camera stable. If a very stable lens is needed in some cases, a tripod is essential. In addition, it should be noted that you should never shoot while walking. Maybe you should say: Isn't it just walking and shooting in Talk? Then remember, you are not Zhang Yimou.

2. A cloud video conference software

Zooming is a basic function of a camera. The zoom function of a camera is much stronger than that of most cameras, but please remember that powerful functions are never used for abuse. I have seen some friends shoot DV. They play with DV as a telescope. Zoom in for a while, zoom out for a while, and shoot a long shot to the end. Finally, when they play back, they don't even know what they are going to shoot. In fact, it is very simple. Enlarging is to emphasize the scenery or people we want to shoot, and narrowing is to show the whole picture of the object or the scene of this story.

3, the main points of dynamic shooting

Maybe sometimes the scene we need to shoot or the scene can't fit in a small lens, even if the lens is pulled as far as possible, so moving shooting is necessary. But the' moving shooting' mentioned here is not the same as walking and shooting as mentioned above. When shooting dynamically, try not to move your steps, set the camera, turn the upper body into an animated circle with the waist as the center, and sweep the scenes and scenery that need to be shot into the lens. If necessary, you can sweep them back, and then stop shooting after a short period of immobility, and continue shooting at another lens angle.

4. Manually adjust the exposure and focal length.

In many cases, we need to manually adjust the exposure and focal length when shooting. Although DV generally has automatic exposure and autofocus, in most cases, this is not enough to rely on. For example, shooting choir members on the stage of a theater is usually very bright. If only automatic exposure is used, nine times out of ten, the final result is that the face of the person being photographed is not seen at all, only a piece of white is seen, unless the skin of the person being photographed is black enough, such as black people. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the exposure to manual gear, and then reduce the exposure according to the light condition until the required intensity is reached. It should also be emphasized that the color and brightness of the images we usually see on the camera LCD screen are different from the images finally collected in the computer, so we should pay attention to the differences between them when collecting and shooting, and often compare them, so that we can know what the images we see on the LCD screen are and clearly know what the images finally collected are.

The focal length of the camera

The first thing to pay attention to when choosing a lens is the focal length of the lens. The focal length is actually a matter of viewing angle, and different focal lengths have different viewing angles. In addition, users should be clear about themselves, what is the main purpose of my purchase of lenses? Whether to shoot scenery or people, and so on. As we all know, it is advisable to use a wide-angle lens to shoot landscapes and a telescope lens to shoot people. Therefore, we must first decide the lens focal length we want to buy according to the purpose of photography.

The best focal length for shooting scenery is 24mm wide-angle focal length and 200mm telescopic focal length (both are subject to 35mm specifications, the same below). When the wide-angle focal length of the standard zoom lens evolves from 28mm to 24mm, the viewing angle becomes larger and the range of scenery that can be accommodated is greatly broadened. Generally speaking, the maximum aperture of the lens is not too high for shooting scenery. If you mainly shoot scenery, when choosing a zoom lens, it is basically enough to choose a wide-angle focal length of 24 mm. As for the focal length of the telescope, it should be at least 200 mm. If the focal length of the telescope is 300mm or 400mm, it will be more ideal, and the degree of freedom will be greatly improved. The telephoto focal length of the traditional zoom lens is 300mm, while it is 450mm when used in digital SLR, and the focal length is enlarged by 1.5 times, which makes people feel happier when used. This is the value of digital SLR. Generally, the wide-angle focal length of digital special ultra-wide-angle lens is 12mm, which is equivalent to 18mm of 35mm specification, which is nearly 1.5 times larger than the focal length of 28mm of 35mm specification, thus greatly broadening the left and right range of shooting landscape scenes.

The best focal length for shooting people is 85 mm. According to the standard of 35mm, the lens is selected based on the focal length of 85 mm.. The portrait taken with a focal length of 85mm is basically close to the picture taken by a medium format camera, which not only has a suitable sense of distance, but also the face of the person looks natural, and the distance between the camera and the person being photographed can basically be kept at the usual speaking distance. 85mm focal length can also blur prominent people in the background. In order to obtain a good blur effect, it is appropriate to choose a lens with a larger maximum aperture. The focal length of 85mm is about 135mm on a digital SLR. Although the distance of the lens is a little weak, it is basically no problem, so the focal length of the lens should be at least about 85 mm

A macro lens of 100mm is enough for traditional SLR. 100mm macro lens can shoot flowers at the same time, but when shooting at the same time or near the same time, it is easy to shake because of the long focal length and depth of field of the scene, so anti-shake measures should be considered when shooting. From this point of view, it is easier to use a 50mm macro lens on a digital SLR.
