How to shoot a big movie with a mobile phone?

If you don't know how to discover beauty, or choose a suitable way to show the scenery in your eyes, the photos taken by the audience will not be recognized whether you hold the highest-end camera or a mobile phone with camera function. On the other hand, as long as you master the shooting skills, you can shoot a large film even with your mobile phone, except for the pixel height and file size, which can't be solved at present.

Of course, there are many skills and methods to shoot with mobile phones. What I want to talk about here is how to use specular reflection to present large-scale effects.

Step 1: Find the reflection point.

1. Presentation of smooth surfaces

Don't just focus on highly reflective floor tiles, glass desktops, door handles, faucets or car paints. When we go out, there are always various reflective surfaces around us.

Step 2: Windows

The reflection in the shopping center window can make the work more attractive, mainly relying on the superposition of elements inside and outside the window and sufficient light to interpret the picture language.

3. Reflector

A device that is very common at street intersections or car windows will have unexpected picture effects if it is used well.

4. Water reflection

Natural reflections such as lakes, ponds and ice not only highlight the sense of space and depth of the picture, but also give people a refreshing visual enjoyment.

5. Waterlogged pavement

Rain Street is one of the most commonly used natural props for reflection, which can be seen everywhere in rainy days or after rain.

2. Shooting skills

1. Comparison

A photo, there will be more or less contrast. But sometimes specular reflection is a bit difficult to grasp, because the real scene and the reflected picture may be very different. Therefore, when shooting, we should try our best to ensure that the contrast in the picture is appropriate in order to obtain richer tones.

overlapping

If you shoot facing the glass window, you can get the effect of overlapping images by adjusting the shooting angle properly.

3. Symmetry

Mirror symmetry is the most commonly used shooting method. Although it lacks originality, it is the safest. However, we should pay attention to the rational use of the composition skills of the trichotomy to avoid the monotonous content and form of the picture.

4. Space

The significance of specular reflection lies in breaking the conventional spatial dimension and expanding the original two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional picture effect as visually as possible. Therefore, we must try to integrate multi-angle images. Of course, as I mentioned at the beginning, it depends on the photographer's ability to combine the picture elements, that is, to master the composition skills, which is also the key to determine whether the photographer can show the scenery he sees to the audience.
