How should the shooting of the party be structured? And shooting skills?

Keep the picture composition balanced.

Every time we press the video button, we have to look around to see if the picture taken in the viewfinder is what we need-that is, composition. The composition law of photography is very similar to that of static photography. We should not only pay attention to the position of the protagonist, but also study the configuration of the whole picture, maintain the balance of the picture and the internal relationship of various object elements in the picture, adjust the relative position and size of the composition objects, and determine their respective layout positions in the picture.

A perfect composition should at least do the following:

1, the picture is neat and smooth, avoiding the messy background. The messy background will distract the attention of watching, reduce visibility and weaken the status of the subject. Remove impurities from the picture before shooting, or shoot from another angle to avoid irrelevant background on the picture.

2, good color balance, the picture should have a strong sense of hierarchy, to ensure that the main body can stand out from all backgrounds. If you wear black clothes, don't arrange to shoot on a dark background.

General rules of camera composition

Please keep the camera in a horizontal position before shooting, so that the captured image will not tilt. You can use buildings, telephone poles and other objects parallel or vertical to the ground as reference objects, and try to keep the picture balanced when taking pictures.

Get as close to the target as possible, so as to ensure that there will be no irrelevant background on the screen, but you must also reserve some space around the protagonist to prevent the protagonist from moving suddenly. Make sure no one or other objects move between the camera and the main character being photographed. Don't let some irrelevant characters half in the picture and half out of the picture. If you are shooting activities that you can't control, then you can't guarantee that all the compositions are perfect: but you can arrange your protagonist in the right position in the picture. Scan the whole scene at the same time, eliminating unwanted scenes.

Attention should also be paid to composition: no matter how small a moving object is, it is easier to attract the attention of the eyes than a static object, so be careful not to let unnecessary moving objects that will distract the audience appear in the background of the picture. In addition, pay attention to some eye-catching colors, especially red, bright yellow and dark blue, which will attract the attention of the eyes. We should avoid colors that have nothing to do with the protagonist but will attract attention in the picture.

(The composition is unbalanced. The shooting distance is too far, the background is too miscellaneous, too many and too messy, and the protagonist can't stand out well. )

Many experts advocate the principle of "one third" composition. Photography practice shows that it is more in line with people's visual aesthetic habits to make important scenes or characters just located in the picture1/3-rather than in the center. A complete picture is divided into nine equal parts by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. The four points where the vertical lines intersect with the horizontal lines are the most pleasing parts of the picture, and this position can be regarded as the center of the most important part of the subject. (The figure is located in one third of the picture, and the face is just at the intersection of the two lines in the upper left corner, which conforms to the principle of "one third" composition. And the background is not chaotic, and the characters are well highlighted. )

Photographic composition of characters

When the protagonist looks or walks in a direction that is not perpendicular to the picture, there is more space left in front of them than behind them in the direction they face or move forward, and the "extra space" should be reduced to a minimum.

(The composition is unbalanced. The space behind the characters is bigger than the direction of progress. )

A balanced composition. )

When shooting people, don't leave too much space on the head of the person being photographed. Otherwise, it will lead to unbalanced composition and lack of beauty. If the characters in the picture are less than one-third of the height of the picture, the audience should concentrate on identifying them carefully, and it will be boring if it is longer. Remember to keep your eyes at the height of 1/3 above the screen. If the face is lower than this height, the person seems to have fallen into the TV screen.

(The picture is unbalanced and the space cost is too large. )

Balanced composition looks much more comfortable. )

Also be careful not to make some low-level composition mistakes when composing characters: for example, the telephone pole protrudes above the head of the characters in the picture, the horizontal plane of the building is at the same height as the neck of the characters in the picture, and the wires are across the neck.

About cutting the body. The pictures taken are generally represented by distant view, middle view, close view and close-up. If you shoot from a distance, your whole body will appear on the screen. If it is shot in the middle, close range or close range, it is necessary to cut off a part of the subject's body from bottom to top. Then please be careful not to take people's knees, waist and neck as tangent points. The picture cut out at these three points makes people look awkward. Unless you are taking a close-up of your face or a part of your body, the best place to cut your body should be under your armpit, below your waist and above your knee.

Problems needing attention in camera composition

Avoid covering everything and downplaying the theme.

One of the mistakes that novices often make in camera shooting is that they like to use the perspective and put too much background in the picture, which leads to the confusion between primary and secondary. I can't put it down when I see flowers and plants in my eyes. I can't wait to film them all, for fear that something is missing, and the protagonist becomes an ornament of flowers and plants, which looks like a landscape film. You should use close-ups or even close-ups to highlight the protagonist and make the rich expressions of the characters clearly visible.

Second, avoid copying mechanically and dogmatism.

We should be familiar with the rules, learn to use them flexibly, follow the trend and never blindly follow the general stereotype. If we only know how to use "rules" rigidly, then our works will look dull and lose their aesthetic feeling.

Photography is also artistic creation, and art is regular but even more irregular. The so-called composition rules are only the basic package of camera creation and cannot represent everything. Just like painting, a good work is born from rules, but it is not rigidly adhered to rules. The last rule of camera composition is to break all conventions, break all shackles and oppose all commandments, so that the works created will have vitality ~!
