Composition method of news photography

1, news writing, in order to meet the needs of post-editing and broadcasting, when shooting, try to divide all the scenes of news scenes into different scenes, such as scene environment explanation of complete scenes, close-ups and close-ups of important people, panoramic views of various activities, close-ups of activities or news elements, relevant information of auxiliary news, participating audiences, interesting or vivid sudden content, live atmosphere shots, etc.

2. Among them, the most important content or representative shots of any news event must be captured timely and accurately, such as important people, important speeches and important ceremonies. At this time, you can use panoramic or medium shot, just to ensure the integrity of the picture content and avoid losing the wonderful moments.

3. The choice of shooting position also requires the cameraman to be flexible, never lazy and be good at observing the scene. Before shooting, make sure you have a good idea of composition, for example, where you can see the panoramic view and where you can stand closer to the subject, and it will not be blocked by the audience or fellow journalists. If you have time, before the news begins, you can take some empty shots as spare materials for post-production, such as related products, preparations of relevant personnel, information about related events, emotions that the audience is concerned about, climate, season, and surroundings.

4. When shooting news, try to shoot with fixed lens and fixed scene, because in video editing, the time of static fixed lens is shorter. In a news with limited time, as many static pictures as possible can express the news content in a wider range from different angles. If we use a long translation lens, the whole news will be lengthened, because the time of this lens is longer than that of a static fixed lens. If the news is limited to tens of seconds, it will take a lot of time to shake the camera, which will inevitably lead to the reduction of news content seen by the audience, weaken the content covered by the news, and appear a bit monotonous, so that the audience can't understand more expressions, which is not in line with the basic concept of news communication.
