Combined with the practice of TV camera shooting, this paper discusses the main points and functions of TV picture composition.

An essential difference between TV picture composition and photographic painting composition lies in "dynamic composition". Even in a fixed picture, there are moving objects and light and shadow movements; The movement of the camera will make a picture have multi-viewpoint, multi-scene and multi-angle composition changes. Television pictures are not only composed of moving elements in a single picture, but also have composition problems between pictures and shots, such as contrast and echo. Generally speaking, the composition between connected pictures or shots should pay attention to the echo and contrast of direction, color and depth of field. Taking the direction as an example, if two adjacent pictures of the same subject are taken as a jump shot and connected in opposite directions, it will not only have a stiff feeling, but also easily lead to confusion and illusion.

Paintings and photos can be enjoyed repeatedly without time limit, so complex organization and details can be accommodated in the composition. The TV camera flashed by, and the picture was fleeting. So the picture can't tolerate complicated structure and details, but requires conciseness, conciseness and clarity.

However, film and television pictures, like painting and photography pictures, are all plane art and are restricted by pictures. So many laws of graphic art (static composition) such as picture layout, composition expression (scenery; Positive, horizontal and oblique in azimuth; Perspective (line perspective, air perspective), the use of lines and colors, light modeling, etc. , still applies to film and television pictures.

To sum up, regarding film and television composition, we say that it is based on the basic principle of static composition of painting and has its own dynamic composition law.
