What's the difference between a distant view and a panoramic view, a close-up view and a close-up?

Foresight: refers to the big scene shot from a long distance. Mainly used to show the environment, such as shooting buildings or often using mountains and rivers to see through.

Panorama: refers to the panoramic view of the subject. Panorama is smaller than vision, but it can still represent the whole subject. It is often used to take a panoramic view of people and buildings.

Close shot: Close shot includes the most important part of the subject, and the ID photo belongs to the close shot.

Close-up: it is a part of the main body and can clearly explain the specific details. Such as finger close-ups, eye close-ups and so on.

Content expression

As a single picture, Jingbie only expresses a visual form, and once they are arranged and combined with the content, they will inevitably play a vital role in the expression and performance of the drama content and narrative focus.

From the analysis of visual language and lens law, the more important the narrative content is, the more we should adopt a series of scenes such as middle shot and close shot. On the other hand, it adopts a series of visions and panoramas. Of course, this is a routine method for directors and photographers to handle shots for the main characters, and its starting point is mainly to design and use scenes for the actions of the characters.

When designing films and structural vision, directors should consider the needs of narrative focus and drama content, which is reflected in the formation of visual expression-scene separation.

In modern film language, people pay more and more attention to scenery as an element of environmental modeling, which has formed a change in the concept of narrative lens. Drama content, narrative focus and environmental modeling have become the main focus of visual language appeal. This makes the panoramic series of scenes visually compatible.
