What is a long lens?

A long shot refers to a shot that continuously shoots the next scene, a scene or a shot to complete a relatively complete shot paragraph without destroying the temporal and spatial coherence in the development of the event.

When shooting a long shot, through the movement of the lens, the effect of multi-angle and multi-lens is formed, resulting in a picture? The realism of space and the sense of wholeness are achieved in one go. ?

It was originally a film shooting technology, which came into being in the 1920s. At the beginning of film invention, before editing technology became a special production method, most film pictures were shot with long lenses. ?

A long shot, the most fundamental thing is the documentary produced by the scene depth scheduling in the shot, and the realistic style reflected by the rhythm transformation of the whole movie. Of course, relatively speaking, emphasizing the scene scheduling within the depth of field will make the lens time longer and the rhythm slower.

Aesthetic characteristics of long lens;

1, the time and space recorded by the long lens are continuous and practical.

The long shot does not interrupt the natural process of time, maintaining the uninterrupted process of time, which is consistent with the actual time and process, and excludes the possibility of montage compressing or extending the actual time through lens cutting.

The space represented by the long lens is the real space of real existence. The natural transformation of space is realized in the movement of the lens, and the connection between the part and the whole is realized, which eliminates the possibility of montage lens splicing to piece together a new space.

2. A long shot is a documentary.

Bazin's "long lens theory" holds that a long lens can keep the unity and integrity of film time and film space, and show the continuity and integrity of characters' actions and events, so it can more truly reflect the reality and conform to the characteristics of documentary aesthetics.
