How is the film and television picture formed?

The composition of film and television pictures mainly includes composition, light, color, sound and text. Through realism, ideographic, metaphorical symbolism and special symbolic meaning, the aesthetic principles of the picture are displayed and certain picture themes are expressed. The main elements of the picture are: subject, companion, foreground, background and empty shot.

Let's talk about the main body of picture composition, which is the main object of film and television pictures, as well as the structural center of gravity and visual center of picture composition, and plays a leading role. We should let the subject of the picture occupy a prominent position in the picture, make a sharp contrast between light and color, and then highlight the subject with the relationship between reality and reality.

The companion forms a specific relationship with the subject to help the subject express his thoughts. It is the foil of the subject, generally showing the relationship between people, people and things, things and things. In the movie Infernal Affairs, the escort Huang secretly meets the protagonist Ren in order to explain that Ren is the origin of the gangster undercover and a witness to his true identity.

Foreground refers to the person or scene in front of the subject and close to the camera. Commonly used to explain the plot, create an environmental atmosphere, enhance the depth of the picture, enhance visual expression, and form a certain pattern aesthetic feeling and decorative effect.

The background is located behind the subject, which is an integral part of the environment and the main part of the life atmosphere in the picture.

The range of background is often larger than or including the background, which is used to render and set off the subject, create the atmosphere of the scene and express the sense of space depth. For example, in the film "The Pianist", the Jews were driven by the Germans to produce munitions, suffered from hunger and killing, and the pianist took refuge in the attic. It plays the role of setting off, rendering and setting off the subject, so that the subject of the picture can be clearly presented visually.

Empty shots, also known as "scenery shots", refer to those shots with only natural scenery or scenes and no characters. This kind of lens is often used to introduce the environmental background, explain the time and space, render the artistic conception, set off the atmosphere, arouse the association and promote the story. It has the functions of explanation, suggestion, symbol and metaphor. And it also has the unique function of transforming time and space and adjusting the rhythm of the film.

Then let's talk about the second part of the movie screen-light. It is the basis of visual information and visual modeling of lens pictures, an extremely important element in film language, and an effective means to reveal themes and portray characters, emphasize different scenes or images, render emotions and artistic conception, and trigger associations.

Light has a wide range of functions, such as thick and thick light, which means heavy and strong; Lightness often means lightness and weakness; Straight lines represent rigidity, and arcs represent dynamics; Slant lines indicate speed, and curves have rhythm; Light represents light, joy and happiness, while dark represents dullness, hardship and sadness; Reflection represents beauty, tranquility, dream, etc. This will be of great help to understand the image or plot in film and television.

Next is the third part of the film and television picture-color. It can directly reflect the emotional content, subjective thoughts and artistic atmosphere of the picture. Color is also symbolic, for example, white symbolizes happiness, innocence and cleanliness; Black symbolizes sadness, despair, heaviness, etc.

Color conveys people's mood and psychological state, which is the externalization of people's inner world. Even the same color has different meanings in different works. In movies, the emotions of different characters are often conveyed through various colors. For example, the Soviet film "The Dawn is Quiet here" shows the cruelty of war in simple black and white, and shows the female soldiers' yearning for a better life in soft colors.

Finally, let's talk about words, that is, subtitles in film and television pictures, which play an auxiliary role in explaining the auditory and visual images in the pictures. Such as subtitles indicating time, place and identity of people. Words with visual and auditory elements, let the audience enjoy the real artistic beauty.
