What is Hitchcock style?

Hitchcock zoom is a shooting technique. By changing the focal length while moving forward or backward in the shooting process, this change will change the visual angle, compress or enlarge the background space, thus creating a sci-fi and cool lens feeling.

Hitchcock is a film director, because he is good at shooting psychological suspense films and has a unique style. Later, people called this style Hitchcock.

A common psychological suspense film uses its own imagination to scare itself, and generally uses stairs and shadows to create a special psychological model. Instead of bloody shots and sound effects. Smooth editing techniques should be used to reflect people's impatience and anxiety.

Hitchcock-style shooting method:

1, select shooting background.

The shooting background plays a very good role in Hitchcock zoom. Choosing a background environment with a sense of extension can obviously increase the sense of depth between the main body of the picture and the background, which can get twice the result with half the effort. For example, in the shuttle, it stands out among a group of buildings or pagodas with an empty roof in the background.

2. Use the Hitchcock function of intelligent pan/tilt.

Click the stabilizer function key to enter the locking mode. Connect the smart head to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, select video-Hitchcock, set the required shooting time and zoom speed, and start recording.

3. Proper speed helps to stabilize the picture.

The direction of lens movement is opposite to the direction of focal length change. When we advance at a constant speed with a stabilizer or a mobile phone, the background shrinks and retreats, while when the photographer retreats, the background advances and enlarges. It is suggested that the knees bend slightly when shooting to make the center of gravity more stable; Don't take too big steps when moving, rest lightly and land your heels first; The picture will be more stable.
