Examples of model photography

Model photography is a kind of film trick photography, which can confuse the real with the fake. For example, in the movie A Dream of Red Mansions, many ancient buildings such as pavilions, buildings, pavilions and terraces in Rongning House are faithfully reproduced, which are very vivid and impressive. It turns out that these are all part of the set to be shot in the studio. None of these sets are too high, and they have no roofs. Those towering roofs are just a color photo the size of a newspaper. This stunt method is not complicated. Just shoot the singer's vocals in the shed, cut a black card into an appropriate shape (called "Musk" in stunt terms) and put it in front of the camera lens to cover the upper part of the picture and leave the lower part of the actor's activities. This is the first shot. Cover the lower part of the actor's activity with a black card, then choose a color photo of the big roof, take a second shot, and then combine the two shots into a complete picture. In the feature film Jiang Jie, there is an empty shot depicting the location of the Sino-US Cooperation Office before liberation, and stunt people set up a ping-pong table with only two tables in the studio. For such a large model, there are many bunkers and strict checkpoints, and the white mansion and the muck cave are vivid. If a layer of dense fog formed by carbon dioxide gas is released, it will have a strong artistic effect.

One of trick photography's methods. Using scaled-down or scaled-up models instead of real scenes or scenery can capture disaster scenes such as volcanic eruption, flood and earthquake damage, and war scenes such as warship explosion, car collision and plane crash. Model photography is widely used in film and television, which can obtain film and television scenes that are difficult to shoot in the field, achieve the effect of confusing the real with the fake, ensure the safety of photography and save money.
