How do novices shoot short videos?

First, the shooting details settings

1, details and skills of setting the resolution of mobile phone.

When the creator shoots with a mobile phone, it is very important to set the resolution of the mobile phone. Generally, we choose to set the highest resolution to get clearer picture quality.

Many friends found that the video in the mobile phone looks very clear after shooting, but after uploading it to the platform, it was found that the definition was greatly reduced. This is because you didn't set the resolution of the mobile phone.

2. What are the small details of precise focusing?

Many friends find that when shooting video, the picture is blurred and there is no way to focus on the theme. This is because the mobile phone does not have the function of precise focusing.

So remember to turn on the screen before shooting, focus on the subject of the video, and start shooting after confirming the alignment, so as to ensure the clarity of the video picture and the key display effect of the subject.

3, mobile phone shooting settings grid shooting

In the process of shooting, how to compose a picture is particularly important. Whether the video is good or not, whether it is beautiful or not, mostly depends on the composition.

The composition of photography is the combination and collocation of elements in the picture, and the relationship between primary and secondary should be made clear.

Use the structure, color, light and shadow of lines to make a composition, and follow certain laws and rules to better highlight the aesthetic feeling of lines and colors when composing.

Generally, the standard of mobile phone composition is based on the grid lines in our mobile phone. In the mobile phone settings, open the grid of nine squares to facilitate the composition of nine squares in the actual shooting. The grid of both Apple phones and Android phones can be opened in the settings.

In addition, the beautification mode, dynamic mode and panoramic mode in mobile phone shooting can provide some auxiliary functions for improving video quality.

4. Try to keep the original size of the video.

When shooting a video with a mobile phone, we may all have such an operation: in order to find a more focused picture, we will enlarge the picture taken by the mobile phone.

However, it should be noted that mobile phone lenses are generally wide-angle fixed focus, and zooming in will lead to zooming, and the picture is very blurred. So try to keep the original size.

Having mastered the above four points, you can basically shoot short videos with clear pictures now. Of course, if you want to shoot a better short video, these skills are only the most basic step.

The above four points are the four detailed settings when shooting short videos with mobile phones, which can also be said to be the preparation work before shooting. Next, share the shooting skills from three aspects: shooting lens angle, scene separation and shooting method.

Second, lift the mirror skills

Shooting, not aiming the lens at the shooting target, can produce a large-scale effect. We need to use different shooting methods according to the needs of video, mainly including lens angle, lens scene and lens moving method (mirror moving method).

5. Image field angle of objective lens

Lens angles mainly include head-up, oblique angle, elevation angle and depression angle.

look straight ahead

Is the most basic shooting angle, objective expression, the lens is flush with the subject's eyes.

oblique angle

Deliberately tilting is to let everyone pay attention to the imbalance of the picture.

inclination

Shooting at a low angle can make the object taller or dominant.

angle of depression

Shooting from high to low will make the subject look weak.
