How to make a humanistic film

Humanistic photography, what does humanity mean? According to the dictionary, human nature is a cultural phenomenon of human society. People like humanistic photography because there are people, stories, cultures, connotations, spirits and values behind the photos. It gives us strength and comfort; It touches our hearts and inspires our conscience. A good humanistic work first touches the author, and then touches others through the author's records. It is like a textbook, explaining the true meaning of life. It is like a mirror, telling us what is beautiful and ugly. If landscape photography can make people feel good, then humanistic photography can make people have good quality. Different from scenery, humanistic things are vivid, dynamic and changing, so we must have enough communication and try our best to integrate into the scene to be filmed. Only in this way can we see the people and things simply placed through the lens.

1, be sure to know the local customs and check more information before going out. Only in this way can you find the theme better and express it better.

2. Be familiar with your camera, at least know the basic indexes, parameters and functions of the machine in your hand, and be proficient in using it. Only in this way can we quickly adjust the state of the camera to shoot according to different scenes. This is also a kind of communication: communication between people and cameras. 3. Treat people sincerely. When you are away from home, you must treat others with courtesy, do as the Romans do, respect local customs and habits, try not to disturb the normal work and life of others, and don't pretend to be the host. 4. Be patient. Sometimes in order to capture a character's good expression, it often takes a long time, and it may take dozens or even more. After shooting, if you are not satisfied, you'd better browse it in the LCD before shooting. In the era of film machines, this may be a waste, but with digital machines, it is possible to shoot a lot, and it is not difficult to choose one out of ten or even one hundred.

6. Many people are shy in front of the camera. At this time, don't rush for success. You can talk to them first. For example, how beautiful their clothes are, how beautiful their living environment is, and how cute their children are. Asking about their lives. You can also show them the materials and photos prepared in advance and tell them that all these materials are written here and how beautiful these photos are. I can take you like this. In short, we should let them relax their vigilance and eliminate shyness through sincere communication.

7. You can bring some candy or small gifts when traveling, which will play a huge role in communication with children, but remember not to turn this gift into charity! If you have time, you might as well teach the children to sing and play with them. Not only taking photos, but also communicating with children is also an experience and gain in the journey.

8. Many people usually have beautiful expressions, but once they face the camera, their faces immediately become dull and serious. At this time, you can show them the photos in the digital machine, and they will probably laugh when they see themselves. At this time, you immediately turn the camera around and take pictures of them without losing time. It's more convenient if it's two people, one is talking to them to distract attention and the other is taking a snapshot. This trick is more effective for children. In order to make it easier to shoot, and to make the theme of the photo more prominent and the composition more reasonable, you can sincerely ask people to cooperate, repeat some actions or maintain a certain posture. Under normal circumstances, as long as it is not too demanding and not the kind of casual posing, people will accept it gladly. If they want photos, try to satisfy them.

9, usually look at other people's photos, see how people use light and composition, see more, you will continue to improve. If you are not sure about the composition, you can enlarge the framing range when you come back and cut out the required composition to avoid the defects of the picture caused by the hasty shooting. The capacity of the memory card should be sufficient, and the resolution of the photo should be set to the maximum as far as possible, so as to ensure that the photo still has enough clarity after cutting. Don't be afraid that a large number of photos will burst your hard disk, and the cost of storage is getting cheaper and cheaper. 10, control the number of peers. It doesn't matter if there are more people taking pictures of scenery, but it's different to take pictures of humanities. Imagine how relaxed and natural people's expressions are when more than a dozen long guns and short guns are pointed at them. I think two or three people are generally more suitable. Nowadays, many photography associations, fan networks and outdoor clubs often organize some outings. If you want to go with them, you must think it over. The pervert mainly talks about the beauty of picture composition and light consumption, and often likes to pose at will and try to brighten his own equipment; The riders flew dust and flags all the way; Wherever outdoor clubs go, there are many people, piles of garbage and restless ... it seems that it is difficult for them to communicate with local people enough.
