Main advantages of shoulder camera

Lead: With the progress and perfection of camera bracket device, shoulder-mounted camera can also shoot very stable pictures. Whether traveling at a faster speed or moving freely in a narrow space, it is not difficult to change the angle, distance and direction. Of course, if there is no special shock absorber, it is difficult to ensure the clarity and stability of the picture by photographers alone.

Main advantages of shoulder camera 1. Public opinion: Shoulder-mounted camera makes the shooting height of the lens equal to that of normal eyes. The pictures taken from this viewpoint are the most common in people's lives and look the most familiar and intimate. The relationship between scenes in the picture is in a relatively stable state, and the deformation of perspective relationship in low-view or high-view pictures contains few performance characteristics.

2. Do you have a sense of rhythm? Humanization? Effect: The speed of the action shot completed by the photographer's own action is the speed of the task, and the fluctuation of the picture action is directly affected by the rhythm and frequency of the characters. Looking at this picture makes people feel the existence of the camera strongly? A creative activity that makes the audience feel that the photographer records the performance with a camera at the shooting scene because of the ups and downs of the picture.

In front of this screen, it became the eyes of the audience and brought the audience to the shooting scene. In documentary programs such as TV newsreels, the TV pictures completed by shoulder-mounted cameras have a strong live atmosphere, which is an effective means for TV reporters to enhance the authenticity of the pictures and the live atmosphere, and is also a common shooting method to express the subjective shots of characters in plot programs.

3. Arbitrariness of lens scheduling: Shoulder-mounted camera shooting integrates all the operations in the shooting process with the photographer, such as camera position movement, focal length adjustment, aperture conversion, zoom push and pull, pitch angle and shooting direction, which are all controlled by the photographer. Shoulder-mounted camera lens scheduling is free and flexible, adaptable and random.

Content extension: standing shooting

When shooting standing, the camera should be steady. Hold the camera tightly with both hands, relax your shoulders, lean your right elbow against your side, and lift the camera slightly above your chest. Hold the camera with your left hand to help stabilize it and take a comfortable and stable posture. Your legs should be separated naturally, about shoulder width, and your toes should be slightly apart to stand firm and keep your body balanced.

shoot from a kneeling position

When shooting in kneeling position, the left knee touches the ground, the right elbow rests on the right knee, and the left hand also holds the camera, which can obtain the best stability. In the shooting scene, you can also use fixed objects such as tables, chairs, trunks and walls to take local materials to support and stabilize the body and machine. Correct posture is conducive to operating the machine, and can also avoid long-term shooting fatigue. For the shoulder-mounted digital camera, the posture change is convenient and smooth, and there are mainly three postures, namely, standing posture, squatting posture and back posture. Standing posture is the usual photography posture. The feet are shoulder width apart, and the center of gravity of the camera just falls on the shoulder to avoid the load of the right hand. The palm of the right hand passes through the bracelet to control the recording key and zoom key. Hold the focus ring with your left hand for manual focusing operation and help balance and stabilize the camera. The shooting effect of standing camera is close to people's usual observation angle, so it is the most real and natural. Sometimes you can shoot while walking to express your point of view when moving. Squat posture is a shooting posture with low viewpoint, which is often used for back shooting. With the support of the knee, you can get better stability.

The way the eyes observe.

If you only open your right eye when shooting, this method of framing has great disadvantages. Photography is different from camera shooting. Photography only captures moments, and camera shooting should adopt binocular scanning. While the right eye is clinging to the eyepiece goggles of the viewfinder, the left eye is responsible for seeing the overall situation, paying attention to the movement of the shooting target and everything around it, and adjusting the shooting mode at any time to avoid ruining his work because of some minor accidents. Should we also avoid it because of ourselves? Monopoly? And missed other wonderful scenes around, so that all changes are under control.
