How to use lifting photography and matters needing attention

Weightlifting shooting

Lift photography is a special way of sports photography, and it is difficult for us to find the corresponding visual feeling in our daily life, except diving, skydiving and other sports. It can be said that the image modeling effect of the lifting lens is very visual impact, and even gives the audience a novel and unique feeling.

(1) By changing the height and the viewpoint, it gives viewers a colorful visual experience.

Lifting photography can expand and shrink the field of vision of the picture, that is, "climbing high and looking far". When the position of the camera rises, the field of vision gradually expands in depth, which can cross the occlusion of some scenes and present a large-scale scene from near to far. When the position of the camera is lowered, the camera gets closer and closer to the ground, and the space range of the picture that can be displayed becomes narrower and narrower. This shooting method is often seen in war scenes and large-scale literary evenings. It uses the change of height and the transformation of viewpoint to

(2) Used to express the scale and momentum of an event or scene.

When shooting with lifting lens, it can expand the sense of spatial depth and spatial visual effect of the picture, so lifting shooting is often used to express the grandeur and huge scale of the scene. It is often shot from a small scene with a lifting lens. After rising, there are many dancing people in the big scene, giving people a sense of the scene one after another and a wide range.

(3) It can truly show the details of various parts of tall objects.

When displaying the height of an object in a vertical space, a lifting lens is different from a panning lens. When panning vertically, because the camera position is fixed, the distance between the bottom and the top of the subject is different, which makes the subject show a perspective change of "near big and far small, near wide and far narrow", and the high part may appear perspective deformation; When the lifting lens represents a vertical object in the lens, because the relative distance between the camera and each part of the object is basically unchanged, all parts and details of the object can be represented in the same scene with fixed focal length and no deformation. For example, when shooting a vertical logo, when shooting with a lifting lens, the upper and lower characters are the same size, while when translating vertically, the upper characters will appear smaller because of perspective, and the lower characters will appear larger, forming a visual effect that is near big and far small.

(4) Lifting photography can show the relationship between points and surfaces in deep scenes.

When shooting the upper and lower lenses, with the elevation angle of the lens, the visual angle of the picture will expand, which can show the relationship between a certain point (object) in the large scene and its environment (surface) or the position relationship of the point in the surface. (Video 5323 is connected here) When the lens descends, the visual field of the picture narrows with the lens descending, which can also reflect the relationship of a certain point in a certain plane.

(5) The rich picture content of the lifting lens will realize the performance of different objects in the same lens.

Lifting the lens is also one of the important methods to realize scene scheduling. Due to the lifting of the lens, the shooting distance, subject position, scene or scenery of the picture may change, and the change of the composition structure of the subject in the picture will realize the transformation or extension of the picture content, or occupy different picture images. Usually, we can use the upper lens to transition from the scene near the camera to the distant scene, and use the lower lens to realize the image scheduling from the big scene to the local scene. For example, when the picture rises from the close-up picture of a child in rags, it is found that the distant scene is a scene of a big city with colorful lights and crowing. This contrast is expressed in this way, and the effect is that several pictures are deleted to bring greater shock to the audience. Of course, if used in reverse, the visual effect of the picture is different, but the psychological effect to the audience is the same.

Because when shooting the lifting lens, it is usually done with the help of special shooting equipment, such as the lifting rocker arm of the camera, its visual effect breaks through the usual visual habits of the human eye and produces a brand-new visual experience, which can bring a picture effect different from the normal perspective. However, in practical application, it is generally impossible to shoot only the "up" and "down" in the pure vertical direction. The lifting lens is always combined with other forms of movement, such as opening the picture during lifting or shaking when descending. , forming a comprehensive motion lens. This kind of picture can express the complex scene environment, with rich visual effects and novel feeling, and it is easier to bring the audience's psychology into the photographer's subjective world. However, in some shooting that need to objectively reflect the real situation of the event, we should pay attention to the careful use of the lifting lens to avoid the special modeling sense of the picture affecting the audience's judgment on the authenticity and objectivity of the event itself.

Shooting of lifting lens and problems that should be paid attention to

Shooting the lifting lens requires the help of elevators or suspenders. An elevator is an elevator where photographers and cameras move up and down together with tripods. During the movement, the photographer can zoom, push and pull and translate, thus forming a comprehensive movement. Boom, also known as camera lifting rocker arm or remote control elevator, commonly known as "cannon", is a comprehensive sports tool developed in recent years. As long as the camera is fixed at the front end of the boom, the photographer can manually control it on the ground, and use the boom to shoot comprehensive motions such as pushing, pulling, shaking, moving and lifting. In recent years, film and television dramas, especially large-scale sports competitions and cultural performances, are often shot with enthusiasm and have received good picture effects. Like other sports modes, whether using elevators or suspenders, we must pay attention to the accurate composition of the picture on the left, accurate focus, uniform movement speed and consistency with the mood and rhythm inside the picture when shooting up and down.
