What are the main contents of image elements?

Lin Gelun said: "The structure of a lens is dominated by countless factors, but these factors can be divided into three major items: the first item is the movement and form of the main image itself; The second is the relative motion and position between the camera and the main image; The third is the way to illuminate the subject image. "

Bobuk said: ① the film itself-the performance and characteristics of various negatives;

② Composition-the position of each visual element in a picture;

(3) Lighting-the lighting quality and quality of each scene.

We talk about it from six aspects: ①. Composition.

(2) farewell

③ Angle

④ Exercise.

(5) Lighting

6. color

(Six aspects are actually interrelated, such as composition. In our first part "The Composition of Movie Images", we mainly discussed the position of each visual element in a picture. In fact, of course, including lighting, color and other elements. The reason why it is divided into six aspects is mainly for the convenience of narration. )

The first section, the composition of film images.

The basic organizational unit of image structure is "lens". The lens can actually be subdivided, that is, "drawing a grid."

A shot consists of countless frames. Movies have 24 frames per second.

The composition we discuss in this section is actually the composition of the screen grid.

I think: to deal with the "composition" elements in a movie, we should at least consider the following three points, or three principles, namely: ① aesthetic principles; ② Theme service principle; ③ principle of change. Among them, "aesthetic principle" and "theme service principle" refer to the composition of a single picture frame. The principle of change is about the composition of the whole movie.

First, the aesthetic principle.

Film is an art, so its composition should be beautiful and "artistic" first. In other words, it is necessary to have a visual sense of beauty to make people look comfortable and beautiful.

How to make the composition of a picture frame have visual beauty? I don't think it should just be understood as: the content photographed in the photo frame is beautiful and moving scenery: green mountains, green waters, flowers and beautiful people ... the content photographed in the photo frame is beautiful, that is, "What are you photographing?" It's just one aspect of the beauty of the picture frame. That's not all. More important than this is-"How to shoot? 」。 "How to shoot?" -that is, different shooting methods can make beautiful things unattractive, and also make things that look ordinary look good after shooting. "How to shoot?" This is a question of formal beauty. In this section, we mainly discuss this problem. There are many factors that affect the composition of a picture frame, such as light, color, tone level, contrast between reality and reality, contrast between distance and size, and so on. This is the professional knowledge of photographic composition. I won't go into details here (light and color will be discussed later). We only talk about a few problems that should be paid attention to from the perspective of creation.

(Explanation) Subject and accompanying text:

(1), main body and foil can't be understood as "A is big in the figure, B is small in the figure, A is the main body and B is the foil".

(2) Subject and companion cannot be understood as A in the foreground, B in the background, A as the subject and B as the companion.

(3) The key to distinguish between subject and companion is to look at the role they play in the picture frame. The subject plays a big role, and the companion plays a small role. From the creative point of view, the composition in a picture frame has formal aesthetic feeling, and the following points should be achieved: (to be continued)
