Actors are filming, why do they always only give close-ups of the upper body?

Many people like watching TV plays. Watching TV plays can not only kill time, but also make people relax. However, we found that there is no such phenomenon. Many scenes in TV series only shoot the first half of the actors, and there is basically no lens in the second half. Is this the director's preference? But this is also wrong. After all, costume dramas and modern dramas are like this.

Actors are filming, why do they always only give close-ups of the upper body in the play? This has become a confusing point for many viewers. After watching some actors filming, it turned out that their lower bodies were "dishonest". The following small series selects a few photos to explain in detail what the situation is.

The first situation: filming costume dramas in summer. Bian Xiao put a photo of the actor when he was shooting, and some netizens recognized it. The actor is filming Beauty's Calculation. It was very hot at that time, but the actors all wore thick costumes and wrapped themselves tightly. It's already very hot, and the actors can't stand wearing so many clothes. So there is a phenomenon that actors will lift the clothes below and show their legs when filming, which will be cooler. In this case, the director can only shoot the upper part of the actor, and there is no lens below.

The second situation: shooting modern drama scenes in winter and summer. It's very cold in winter, so actors can only wear thin clothes when shooting summer plays. For example, in the TV series Fire Phoenix below, a group of female soldiers wear T-shirts and exercise in the scorching sun. Everyone thinks these female soldiers are very hot when watching TV series, but no one knows that this scene was shot in a cold winter.

At that time, these actresses only wore short T-shirts, but they were wrapped in heavy cotton-padded jackets. No way, anyone who wears so little in winter will be cold, so the director can only keep the actors' nakedness warm. Actors filming is not as easy as everyone thinks, freezing is a trivial matter.

The third situation: the height gap between male and female actors is large, and the feet need to be raised. In many TV plays, the hero and heroine kiss each other, but if there is too much difference between them, the kiss will not look good. Generally, boys are taller than girls, so when kissing, men will bend down and women will raise their necks to kiss the center. How can you make a good kiss from this angle?

In this case, the director will let the girls step on stools or bricks and kiss each other. In this case, it is impossible to take a panoramic view, only the top half of two people can be selected.

The fourth situation: the hero can't hold the heroine and needs to move the box. The hero and princess hug the woman is a common routine in TV series, which makes the audience call it sweet. But it's difficult to shoot this scene. The actor has to walk a long way with the girl in his arms, and he has to say his lines while walking. He is very tired.

Some actors are too weak to finish this kind of play, so the director will put the actress on a movable box, so the actors just need to push the box forward. Of course, this shooting method is not suitable for panoramic shooting, so everyone can only see the upper part.

After reading these, everyone can understand how actors usually film. Actors work hard and their professionalism is worth learning from all of us.
