Composition skills of shooting characters with light

Composition is a plastic art term, that is, when painting, according to the requirements of subject matter and theme, the images to be expressed are properly organized to form a coordinated and complete picture. Let's look at the composition skills of people who shoot with light.

1 Shooting skills of running out of people in interview

The psychological characteristics of characterization will be different in different light and shadow because of the changes of light's cold and warm, angle, light and shade, forward and backward. Under natural light, the color temperature and angle of light are closely related and change normally. Understanding and mastering the angle and color temperature of light will directly affect the image portrayed by people. Reasonable adjustment and change of the law of light use is very beneficial to the interview and shooting of characters.

Shooting skills of running out in outdoor character interview.

The low color temperature is mainly concentrated in the sunrise and sunset in a day. In photography, the color that can better reflect the breath of life is warm color, which is mainly used to shoot emotional characters. In interviews, people usually choose to shoot interviews 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours after sunset. In the interview, some programs want to portray the fortitude and masculinity of the characters, and they usually choose to shoot at noon, with strong contrast between light and dark, which is easy to depict the characters' personalities. However, this kind of light can easily produce a heavy shadow on people's faces, which can't show the true expression of people's faces. We can choose the evasive method, that is, choose suitable scenes and obstructions, and at the same time, we can choose some auxiliary equipment, such as reflectors, to adjust the light ratio appropriately. The most commonly used lighting for interviews is front light, which can also be called triangle light, which can fully show people's three-dimensional sense. When showing the specific image of the characters, you can choose to shoot against the light, which can fully show the depth of the picture in the big scene.

When interviewing people indoors, if you choose natural light to shoot, you must make reasonable use of the light from indoor windows to ensure that the lighting position of the people meets the requirements of main light, auxiliary light, contour light and background light. The light ratio can be properly adjusted by the depth of the curtain and the distance of the light where the subject is photographed, which can increase the three-dimensional sense and space sense of the character.

2 composition shooting skills in character interviews

When interviewing people, we should first analyze and understand the personality, hobbies and other specific circumstances of the interviewee. In the process of shooting, we should fully reflect the vividness of the characters in the TV screen around the interview theme and content. When shooting a human body, pay attention to the level of the picture. In camera application, most people only observe the level on the pan/tilt to see if it has been adjusted to the level. However, in practical application, it is far from enough to observe the level on the pan/tilt. We should choose an image finder to observe the horizontal position of the lens. Only by ensuring that the interviewee in the lens is in a relatively horizontal position can the stability of the image be guaranteed. When tracking and shooting human movements, a tripod is usually not used, and the camera is often carried on the shoulder. In this case, the photographer should determine the level through the frame of the camera viewfinder. When constructing an interview image, in the process of side shooting, the human body should have a significant sense of orientation in the whole image and face one of the left and right frames. For example, when the person's face is facing down, the right side should be left blank, so as not to block the person's line of sight, which is convenient for observing the image.

3. The main shooting methods in interviews with people

When interviewing people in motion, the main shooting lenses used are pushing, pulling, shaking, moving and following. , that is, the general moving lens. When using the push lens in people interview, we must move the lens to get closer to the interviewee, and we can also achieve visual movement by changing the focal length of the camera lens. The objective of the project of pushing the lens has obvious purpose, from large to small, and the main character is becoming more and more obvious from small to large. It can make people's eyes gradually close to the people being interviewed, observe the tiny position of the people being interviewed and highlight the characteristics of the people. In a single shot, it can not only show the overall characteristics, but also show the local characteristics, fully show the relationship and connection between the scope and the characters, and can provide services for shooting long shots. Pushing the lens can also adjust and change the beat of the image, which can form external emotional strength or enhance or weaken the sense of movement of the subject. When using the push lens in character interview, we must pay attention to the continuity between the rising, advancing and left images. Push the lens to have a certain meaning, and you can't push and pull it at will. The image on the left occupies an important position in morphological expression and is a close-up shot in the usual sense. This kind of lens can deeply depict people's expressions and subtle changes. In the three image representations of shot put, the still images are the starting frame and the left picture. Based on this, the pictures taken must be strictly controlled. In the use of push lens, the subject must be located in the center of the image structure, and the speed of push must be consistent with the emotion and music of the image, so as to effectively use the shot image in the later editing. The effect of pushing the lens is opposite to that of pulling the lens. Pulling the lens mainly shows the shooting environment of the character from the local part of the character.

According to human visual characteristics, the camera is fixed. Panning is mainly divided into left and right shaking, up and down shaking, natural shaking and oblique shaking. Translation is mainly to show some environments. The use of panning in the interview of people can completely display the image and ensure the high definition of the image on the left. In order to fully show the relationship between the overall environment and the characters, one subject can shake it until the other subjects finish, so as to obtain a better image effect of the characters. The main purpose of using pan-tilt lens in people interviews is to broaden the horizons and fully show the environment. At the same time, it can ensure that the small scene contains more visual factors, and can fully show the relationship between more than three objects and topics, which can provide more help for the expression of topic form, azimuth movement and trajectory movement.

4 conclusion

To sum up, in the interview of people, different scenes and different ideological subjects must choose appropriate lighting and shooting methods according to the actual situation of the interview site. We should pay attention to its application skills, master the changing law of natural light, master every function of the camera, and shoot in all directions, which will provide great convenience for post-production.
