Dynamic composition shooting situation

In the first case, the camera is still and the object is moving. For example, a character walks toward the camera from a distance or walks in depth with his back to the camera. The scene changes, the environment remains unchanged, and the character's body moves. and facial expressions can be displayed to a certain extent, basically using a static composition method, just pay attention to the balance of the characters in the picture;

In the second case, the objects are still (such as landscapes, still lifes and still characters) When the camera moves (push, pull, pan, move, zoom), more than two visual centers are generated in the picture. The composition center changes, and the scenery changes accordingly. During shooting, there must be a certain pause in the opening and closing of the frame. The subject of the picture must be clear and treated as the center of the structure. Since the camera completes the composition while in motion, the size of the subject, spatial position, perspective, New combinations of light and tone will occur, resulting in changes in balance and imbalance. However, the composition of the starting and ending widths must be careful. You cannot push it to the bottom or pull it to the bottom. You should stop at the formal beauty of the composition. For example, the documentary "The Great Wall" often uses camera movement to adjust the composition, with the starting and ending angles being the key points of the composition.

Another example is to shoot two people A and B having a heart-to-heart talk, pull out the close shot of A and make it into the middle shot of the front of A and the side of B, and then pan horizontally with A as the axis to make the picture become the front of B. On the side of A, the movement is accompanied by changes in scenery and composition center. Scenery in different directions in the environment are also displayed accordingly, and the direction of light and the contrast between light and dark also change. The key points of composition processing are: ① Seize the central character (subject) of the composition of the two pictures before and after; ② When moving, the camera is always aimed at a character, and use this as a pivot to change the position of the character in the picture; ③ Pay attention to the speed and rhythm Master the speed of movement in prescribed situations.

The third situation is when both the subject and the camera are moving. This is a more complex form of dynamic composition. The most striking feature of such a dynamic composition is that the space environment of the picture changes at any time with the movement of the camera, giving people a refreshing feeling. Start or stop as smoothly as a driver starts and stops. Since both the camera and the subject are in constant motion, the performance elements will inevitably change, so the picture structure must be constantly adjusted during shooting.
