Introduction to SLR photography tutorial video

Time-lapse photography, also called time-lapse photography as its name implies, is a kind of time-compressed photography technology. Through a series of photos or videos, it records the scene changes that are imperceptible to the naked eye for a long time, and presents the scene change process of several minutes or even years in a short time. So what are the photography skills of time-lapse photography? Watch the video with me!

Concept of time-lapse photography

Creativity first

Early shooting is nothing more than picture composition and weather factors. As an old camera driver, I have my own understanding of editing. Both large-scale time-lapse photography and fixed-point time-lapse photography are materials. Simply using time-delay materials to make movies will feel novel and atmospheric at first, but after a long time, there will be too many similar movies in the audience's field of vision, which will lead to aesthetic fatigue. If a time-delayed work can attract people, it must be innovation.

The work must be creative first. To make a dazzling technical film, we should not be limited to exquisite and shocking materials, but also pay attention to the use of editing techniques to make various visual wonders. For the creation of regular exhibition films, editing should not be limited to time-lapse photographic materials, but also real-time video, aerial video and even upgraded video can be added according to their own conditions. In my work "Now Look at Shenzhen", I tried the combination of aerial photography and time-lapse photography, and this idea won me the gold medal in the first online TV time-lapse photography competition of Xinhuanet.

Edit the action with "create"

There can be no main line in the clip, and you can follow the music feeling completely. Carefully try to figure out the structure of music and divide the works according to the emotional tone and rhythm and melody of music. Magnificent music sets off magnificent scenes, while soft and soothing music slows down the rhythm of the picture. I also have a editing skill to share with you. If some materials are flawed in the shooting process, you can disrupt the editing together and spread the music with fast-changing rhythm, so that you can use different materials as much as possible and make the picture richer.

You can also draw up a main line of editing-time sequence, spatial order, or mixed editing according to the existing material, music and work name. This must be planned in the early stage of shooting, which requires high quality of the material and needs to "give up" most of the material pictures. According to the corresponding structure script, combine the materials.
