What are the methods of shooting movie stunts?

In the production process of movies, there are some movie scenes that cannot be expressed or are difficult to achieve using ordinary shooting methods. At this time, special effects must be used to complete them.

There are several ways to shoot stunts:

1. Confuse the real with the fake. There are often many shots such as fires, explosions, aerial battles, etc. in the film, which are impossible to shoot in real scenes. Therefore, models, paintings or photo materials are used instead of real scenes for shooting.

2. Abnormal photography methods, such as reverse photography, stop and shoot, step-by-step photography, fast photography, slow-speed photography, etc., can produce some scenes that are different from reality if they are projected using normal methods. Motion effects that contradict the situation, such as water flowing backwards, broken vases returning to their original shape, pumpkins turning into carriages, slow motion of the motion process, etc.

3. Composite shooting method. Models, scenery, real scenes, etc. are put together real and fake according to the needs of the plot and shot at the same time to achieve an immersive and realistic effect. For example, in thrilling driving chase scenes, the "background projection synthesis method" is often used. That is, the highway in the background is filmed in advance and is projected on the screen as the background. The actors actually perform various driving actions on a stationary car. The background and the actor's movements are shot at the same time, which is a typical synthesis. One of the shooting methods.

4. Use special equipment and special methods, such as movable film synthesis, skill printers, computer synthesis, etc., to randomly synthesize various shots to achieve the desired effect.

The scene where the car hit the person was shot using the "reverse shot" method. First, the actor who was hit was made to fall under the wheels of the car, and then the car was suddenly reversed. The actor simultaneously performed the opposite action when he was hit. In this way, when the film was screened, it became a thrilling scene of a car speeding over and hitting the person.

The ancient buildings in the film "A Dream of Red Mansions" were actually shot using part of the sets built in the studio.
