Five film shooting techniques

The five major film shooting techniques are a large number of blank spaces, high-altitude viewing angle, intra-frame, static motion and zoom motion.

1, lots of spaces

Shoot at a wider angle-people usually only occupy one-third of the bottom of the lens, whether it's the lower left corner, the middle position or the lower right corner. This creative angle makes the way of telling stories interesting, especially when you want to shape the loneliness of the characters, the closed space and a lot of blank space give the audience a feeling that the protagonist is "isolated" and show the lonely and overwhelmed inner world of the characters with an empty environment.

2. High altitude perspective

Most aerial photographs are taken by drones. As long as the camera lens is put down, you can create a trance-like perspective. But this is not a typical close-up, which expands the depth while accommodating more scenes. This angle is not suitable for shooting dialogue scenes, but more used to show that a fierce or premeditated dispute is about to break out. The story is slowly brewing, and the audience seems to be integrated into the action of the role.

3, the photo frame in the photo frame

Through the way of lens nesting and frame wrapping, the scene is rich and layered. It can be assisted by tools such as picture frames, picture frames and door frames. This angle visually narrows the eyes of the audience and focuses on the core of the lens. You can use creativity in the foreground to enhance the story. You can also fix the camera on the slider or balance frame and let an object in the foreground pass through the lens to create more motion. Promote information transmission by "showing" rather than "telling".

4. Static motion

The camera always follows the character's footsteps, but it is shot directly without any action. You can choose to zoom in or out, capture details or be like a bystander. Keep a relatively static motion, and let the characters have a dialogue or any other action in a fixed shot. When the camera zooms in, it shows the audience the subtle emotions they want to express, thus enhancing the dramatic effect. When the lens shrinks, the audience will retreat to the bystander's point of view. Make a perfect emotional transition and stick to the characters and stories.

5. Scaling motion

Zoom lenses are perfect for creating a fast-paced and exciting atmosphere! You can push, pull and circle to realize the dynamic picture of running or sprinting. Perfect for action movies and suspense movies. It can immediately attract the attention of the audience and catch their eyes. People in front of the screen are instantly brought into the story scene without knowing what happened, shrouded in confusion and anxiety, creating a magical viewing experience.

Matters needing attention in film shooting:

1, the application of light and shade contrast

The most important way to highlight the subject in film photography is to superimpose the bright subject on the dark background and the dark subject on the bright background. More processing methods are to set different brightness areas for the picture. Bright words superimposed on a dark background, or dark words superimposed on a bright background, can play a prominent role.

2. Rational use of depth of field

Shallow depth of field helps to highlight the subject. In some films, the director is very taboo to change the focus in the camera, because changing the focus too obviously will distract the audience. This TV series contains many elements of psychoanalysis, which makes the image have the characteristics of subjective lens. At the same time, the focus is always changed by the turn of the actor or the interaction of the other party, which also covers up the traces of man-made.
