What is the shooting technique?

Long shot is a shooting technique, which is relative to montage shooting method. The "long lens" here does not refer to the length or focal length of the physical lens appearance, nor to the distance between the photographic lens and the shooting object, but to the time distance between the starting point and the end point of shooting, that is, the length of the movie fragment.

There is no absolute standard for a long lens, which is a relatively long single lens. It is usually used to express the director's specific ideas and aesthetic interests, such as the inner description of actors in literary scenes and the real kung fu in martial arts scenes.

1. Fixed long lens: a lens formed by shooting a scene continuously in a fixed position, which is called a fixed long lens. The earliest filming method was to record the reality or stage performance process with a fixed long lens. Almost all of the 358 films released in Lumiere 1897 were shot in one shot.

2. Long lens with depth of field: Use a lens with large depth of field to make the scene in different positions (from foreground to background) clear. Such a lens is called a long lens and has a depth of field. For example, take a picture of a train whizzing by, and with a large depth-of-field lens, you can clearly see the train in the distance (equivalent to a distant view) and approaching (equivalent to a panoramic view, a middle view, a close-up view and a close-up).

A long shot with depth of field is actually equivalent to the contents of a set of distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view and close-up shot.
