Shooting techniques for pushing, pulling, panning and following

The shooting techniques of push-pull and pan-follow include pushing the lens forward, pulling the lens backward, rotating and panning, moving shooting, tracking shooting, etc.

1. Push the lens forward

The subject being photographed does not move, then push the lens forward at a constant speed, and the range of the view changes from large to small. In addition, according to different plot needs, it can also be divided into fast push, fierce push, and slow push. Of course, this is different from moving through lens zoom.

2. Pull the camera back

Pull the camera back at a constant speed, and the viewing range will change from small to large, such as a close-up to a panorama. It is also divided into slow pull, fast pull and yank.

3. Rotate and pan the camera

With the camera stationary, position the camera at a fixed point on the central axis, rotate the camera at a constant speed, and take pictures of the surrounding environment.

4. Mobile shooting

Place the camera on a slide rail or stabilizer, and shoot in the horizontal direction while moving. The direction can be controlled freely, but a straight line must be maintained.

5. Tracking shooting

In short, it means following the subject throughout the whole process to shoot. Different from "moving", the direction of camera movement is irregular, but you must always keep the subject in mind. The characters are in the picture.

Other shooting techniques:

1. Rising: Rising lens, rising lens at a constant speed.

2. Lower: Lower the lens and shoot downward at a constant speed.

3. Overhead: God’s perspective, generally shooting downward, and the height is set according to the plot, such as food and scenery shooting.

4. Upward: shoot upward.

5. Empty: landscape pictures, empty shots without characters and subjects, usually shot with music or ideas.

6. Swing: It is mainly used for the transition of the picture, making it more natural, leaving no traces, and sometimes giving the feeling of special effects.

7. First perspective and third perspective: The first perspective is shot from the protagonist’s perspective and direction changes. The third perspective is usually shot from behind the protagonist, either the whole body or part of it.

8. Zoom shooting: Different from "shifting", the camera position remains unchanged and the subject in the distance is made clearer or shows the process from clear to blurred by rotating the focal length of the lens. If the lens quality is good enough, you can continuously move the position and zoom to take close-ups or panoramas.
