How to take long shots

How to shoot long shots:

1. Fixed long shot: The camera is fixed and continuously shoots a scene to form a long shot. The earliest method of film shooting was to use fixed long lenses to record reality or stage performance processes. Almost all of the 358 films released by Lumière in early 1897 were shot in one shot.

2. Depth-of-field long lens: Shooting with the technical means of shooting a large depth of field, so that the scenery at different positions in the depth (from foreground to background) can be seen clearly. A long shot with depth of field is the content expressed by a combination of long shot, panoramic shot, medium shot, close shot and close-up shot.

3. Sports long shot: Use the camera's push, pull, pan, move, follow and other movement shooting methods to form a long shot with multiple scenes and multiple shooting angles (azimuth, height) changes. A long sports lens can perform the performance task of a group of montage shots composed of shots of different scenes and angles.
