How to take a group photo

First, shoot for the purpose. Second, fight for the role. Get to know the cast, which roles are recruiting and which role you are going to apply for. You know yourself, but it's idealistic. Photographers know you, which is unique to you. Your role is plastic, and the photographer and the director have the same instantaneous observation and discovery. An experienced photographer can guide you to grasp the psychological state of the character. Third, shoot in actual combat. Communicate directly with the photographer before shooting, and let the photographer know more about you as much as possible. When shooting, you should face the photographer like a director. You have to perform in a short time, blend the scenes and show yourself. The difference here is that the photographer has a greater responsibility to present you vividly to the director through photos and show your unique character characteristics. Fourth, shoot for learning. Fifth, shoot for competition. The group photo should have a certain professional level and attract the director's attention in many photos. Only when you take yourself seriously can others take you seriously. Take photos carefully, because there are few opportunities to meet the director directly, but many people often want to get an interview with the director by taking photos together. Sixth, take responsibility. This sentence is mainly aimed at photographers. They came to you for filming, and you also took on a responsibility. For them, it may be the first time to shoot a film (taking such a group photo with strong purpose), but for photographers, it has been countless times. Whether they can shoot every time responsibly is determined by the photographer's professionalism and technical level. There are indeed many people who come to take pictures and say, "I really don't know what to shoot. Please ask the photographer to help me grasp it." Seventh, the composition of a group of photos.
