What are the shooting methods?

Lead: What are the shooting methods? The following is the shooting method I carefully arranged for you, and you are welcome to refer to it!

depth of field

Many people use DV to shoot at a very close focal length (even a wide angle) to get a large depth of field picture. However, a picture with a large depth of field will make your image look flat, and other pictures in the big mirror will also make your subject look stiff. Try to use telephoto and relatively low depth of field, which will make your subject stand out from the background and look more like a movie. Use telephoto (as far away from the subject as possible and push the lens up) to reduce the depth of field.

lighting equipment

Lighting is the most important part to make your DV works have movie effect. Many authors do not pay attention to lighting, but focus on the scene lighting effect or fully apply the scene lighting effect. Although it saves trouble, it will not have a good result. There should be enough lighting design before shooting, and a clearer light effect level should be created at the scene. Remember, it is very important to make your DV feel "film". (* Lighting is a complicated and strict art in shooting, so I won't go into details here. It looks more like the lighting effect of a movie.

sharp

The reason why video looks more like a video work is because clarity is one of the important factors, and the works shot by DV are always "hard". The edge of any object or person in a picture is always obvious. The reason is that every line of CCD image has pixels (dots), while film particles are emulsion. The chemical reaction makes the film look softer and more natural. DV cameras have their own default sharpness settings. Increasing sharpness is more like recording pictures, and vice versa. Your photos are softer. Go to Settings and adjust all the options that can reduce the clarity. Different machines are different, so I won't explain them in detail here. Lower definition will make your images softer. Of course, you can also add a soft lens in front of your lens, and you can also get a soft picture. Of course, too much scattering will make your picture look unnatural. Practice more and you will find the most suitable effect.

Shutter speed

Many people set the shutter speed of their machines to automatic, and most of the time the camera automatically adjusts to1125 seconds, which makes the photos look "hard" because each frame looks clear. With 24 frames shooting and shutter speed, the film looks "fuzzy". To simulate the effect of small film, please adjust the shutter speed of the machine to 1/30 seconds. This also brings obvious disadvantages, and your picture movement may cause obvious smear. If you don't like this effect, I suggest you shoot with real progressive scanning (more professional machines have this function).

Color Balance Color Balance As we all know, the color white of the camera is a very mechanical setting. You have to adjust the white balance every time the lighting conditions change. The transformation of light in movies depends on different means from video, such as green, blue or even red, rather than simple white.

You can also imitate the color effect of the movie and apply other colors to adjust the white balance. We all know that adjusting the white balance with blue will produce orange or red tones, and adjusting with pink will produce blue tones. Try more and find what you need most.

The method of adjusting hue with white balance is not absolute. You can create a warm golden picture close to John Woo's film effect, or you can create a cold picture similar to the indifferent world to find the feeling of guy ritchie.

Adding blue will make the picture colder, adding red will get a warm effect.

Color saturation is also an important item. Constantly adjust the saturation and try the best result for you.
