Classification and introduction of lens technology

Screen design, a familiar term in realistic feature films, also plays an important role in animated films. The following is what I sorted out. Welcome to reading.

What is a prone lens? Prone lens is a photographic term, which is mainly used in film production.

Tilt lens: Most of the lenses are shot head-up. In a movie screen, the orientation and image of the subject in the audience's visual range will change with the different shooting angles, thus attracting the audience's attention to the subject and changing the audience's psychological reaction. Upward photography refers to the camera shooting from bottom to top and from low to high. The upward lens represents the line of sight that the audience looks up, and they often feel stretched, open, lofty and admired in emotional color. Overhead shooting refers to the camera shooting from high to low and from top to bottom, and overhead shooting represents the line of sight of the audience looking down. The camera overhead gives people a gloomy, small and depressing feeling in emotional color, and the shooting angle is suitable for expressing the tragic fate of people or the abomination and meanness of negative characters. In many movies, we often shoot the enemy's binge drinking, the noise of casinos, the plot of gangsters and so on.

Classification of lens technology (1) Pull lens

Its function is to let the audience understand the relationship between man and environment, part and whole from point to surface on the basis of seeing a key point clearly. Pulling the lens makes people feel broad and stretched. For example, in the first shot of the feature film Bitter Flower, a close-up of a blooming bitter flower first appeared, and then a small hand reached into the picture to pick it, but the audience couldn't see the figure and didn't know it was the right hand. This is when the camera is turned on, and the audience is delighted to see Man Zi digging up bitter flowers. This shooting method is called pulling the lens.

(2) Follow the camera

As the name implies, the camera always follows the performance object in an action, so as to continuously and meticulously show his activities, or his ongoing actions and expressions.

(3) Shake the lens

This means that the camera is placed in a fixed position, looking around, panning, or panning with the movement of the subject. Often used to introduce the environment or highlight the significance and purpose of people's actions.

(4) Push the lens

Refers to the position of the subject, just move the camera and push it into a close-up or close-up shot. The same lens content, slowly approaching, gives people a calm, stretched and subtle feeling. Rapid advancement will produce nervous, hasty and flustered effects. Pushing and patting can guide the audience to feel the inner activities of the role more deeply and strengthen the atmosphere.

(5) Subjective lens

The lens of the film is regarded as the eyes of the characters in the play to observe and express objective things, which can simulate feelings and render the atmosphere. Subjective shots are often used to express the mental state of characters under special circumstances, and also reflect their hallucinations and imagination, which often appear in movies. At the same time, it also played a prominent role in depicting characters' personalities. For example, at the beginning of the feature film Little Flower, there is a scene where a little flower looks for her brother's memory. It first used continuous shooting to draw out the floret of that year, and then returned to reality with the voice of calling my brother, which handled the nature smoothly and produced a strong artistic effect.

(6) Empty lens

This kind of lens, with a specific visual image (that is, a picture), shows a certain time and place, without people and language, only shows natural scenery and atmosphere scenes with certain implications. Such as mountains, water, sea, pine, flowers, white clouds, moon, birds and so on. It is an important means to make the film poetic, thus creating a profound artistic conception.

(7) Pitching lens

Pitch lens can be divided into overhead lens and overhead lens. In addition to a bird's eye view of the panorama, the camera overhead can also show a feeling of gloom and depression, which generally plays a derogatory role. The lens of looking up at the scenery plays an emotional role.

(8) Lift the lens

It is a method to show the scene from multiple viewpoints that the camera moves up and down on the elevator. Its variation is vertical, curved, inclined or irregular. Proper use of lifting lens in speed and rhythm can creatively express the artistic conception of a scene. Lifting lens is generally used to shoot large scenes, which can change the lens perspective and picture space and contribute to the rendering of drama atmosphere and effect.

(9) Integrated lens

Comprehensive lens means that the lens moves in various ways. Sometimes, in order to make the film show a certain plot more fully and prominently, the lens of pushing, pulling, up, down, shaking and moving is often used together in a focal plane. It creates different lens angles for the picture, such as front, side, back, down and so on, which can not only show the whole picture of the environment, but also show the close-up of a specific character and the relationship between the characters, making the film more expressive. Therefore, the focal plane can be used alone, or combined and interlaced. This kind of lens is also called a long lens.
