Conference photography

First, the preparation before photography

First of all, you need to know the content of the meeting in advance, and conduct on-the-spot investigation on the size, lighting, location of the guests and the location of your own shooting, so as to draft and determine the content to be filmed. Prepare the necessary camera equipment and fully charge the DV battery the day before the meeting.

2. Introduce the content through the lens

The content of shooting a meeting includes six elements: time, place, people, the beginning, process and end of the meeting, which we need to pay special attention to when shooting. Before the meeting, you can take some background information, such as the layout outside the meeting.

When shooting the time, place and participants of the meeting, you need to pay attention to:

Time. Generally, cameras have time recording function. Turn on this function when shooting. If you feel that just having time to show can't explain the problem, you can add explanations in post-production.

Location, you can shoot banners and other publicity slogans outside the venue first, which can play a role in expressing the content of the meeting.

Participants will arrive early on the day of the meeting and take photos of the sign-in of important guests. Important guests sometimes rest in the VIP room before the meeting, and then take pictures of the host and guest shaking hands and talking.

Three. Photographic work before starting

Before the meeting, the general layout of the venue (including the panoramic view of the podium and the panoramic view of the venue) was photographed, and then the host announced the beginning of the meeting and all the participants applauded. When shooting, the picture should change slowly to highlight the serious atmosphere of the venue.

Four. Ongoing photography work

It is very important to shoot after the meeting starts. People attending the meeting should be the key targets. For important speakers, close-up shots should be taken all over or half-length, and the camera should be aimed at important speakers as much as possible, which requires special attention. For other speakers, we should also take pictures, which is not only a respect for the participants, but also to make the meeting complete. There is also the need to film the audience listening to the lecture, because only the speaker's picture will make the video of the meeting look empty.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) photography is at the end.

At the end of the meeting, you should aim the camera at the rostrum first, and then turn the camera to the standing and applauding audience. At this time, you should have a certain grasp of the panorama. Finally, shoot the pictures of the participants at the exit, and end the shooting of this meeting with the picture conversion of "gradually entering the dark". In some meetings, the main leaders meet the guests after the meeting. At this time, they should arrive at the venue immediately after filming the last speaker and make preparations for filming in advance. Pay attention to taking pictures of guests when shooting. The theme of the meeting is clear, the relationship between primary and secondary meetings is clear, and a perfect shooting record is completed.
