Several video recorders are needed to shoot a movie with multiple people scenes. How can we put these cameras there?

Multi-camera shooting is a relatively complex and systematic matter. Those who are new to film and television shooting should think carefully about it!

We also need to pay attention to one rule of shooting, which is the axis rule. Generally, you cannot run to the opposite side to shoot. This will cross the axis and make the audience confused. If you cross the axis, you must "explain" it, otherwise it will not be in line with viewing habits. So generally multiple cameras are on one side of the same axis.

My dear friend, you will know if you pay attention to movies and TV shows. Without "explanation", you will not go over the line.

If you have multiple cameras, you need to pay more attention to the problem of ganging...if you are not careful, your efforts will be in vain. This is a two-camera front-reverse shot. Generally, a dialogue shot is used in the dialogue shot and then a reaction shot or parallel dialogue is shot. The front-reverse shot generally follows the principle of symmetry, that is, the scene is symmetrical. It can be an over-the-shoulder shot. Reverse shots can also be internal shots. Generally, TV dramas and movies shot in China are shot with one machine. After shooting a set of forward shots, the camera is then changed to shoot another set of reverse shots. The actors must perform at least 2 times.

Multi-camera shooting, whether it is the camera operators of both parties or the post-production, is very strict, so the on-site editing station was born. There is a way, try it, use the video overlay function, turn off the sub track audio.

1. There is a division of labor in advance. It would be better if there is a walkie-talkie to communicate with each other during the filming process. This can be borrowed. The intercom system will not be discussed based on the host's situation. There must be a division of labor in advance as to which camera will take the close-up, which one will take the medium shot, which one will take the panoramic shot, which one will take the reverse shot of the audience, which one will take care of the host, etc. Otherwise, it may happen that everyone rushes to take a close-up shot at the same time, or everyone takes a dance shot. Styling etc.

2. The video cannot be stopped in the middle of the program, at least in the middle of a single continuous program. In this way, the audio only needs to be checked once in the later stage to find the shots at the same time and different times.

3. If possible, it is best to connect an audio channel from the mixer to one of the cameras and use it as reserved audio later. If this is not possible, the machine in the center that is mainly responsible for shooting the panorama must be well-recorded, because the angles of the machines in other positions and the stage speakers change greatly, and the sound coming out is uneven.

4. Do not use separate lenses for post-production collection. Complete the collection in one go.

5. When editing, load videos from four cameras to four tracks at the same time, open the waveform of the audio track, find a typical waveform (such as peak or trough, as long as it is right), and then Align the starting points of the four cameras, then select the corresponding video according to the editing intention, and then clear other unnecessary videos and audios. It is best to clear the audio track after confirming the use of the lens, and only keep the planned and high quality The best one. Of course, precise alignment is not frame-accurate, but it can be to the point where the audience cannot recognize it. This is why we mentioned earlier that the camera should not be stopped in the middle, at least in the middle of a single program. Otherwise, the post-editing editor will not be able to find which shot is at the same time.

It’s best to record a meeting or party in one go, so you only need to adjust the position once at the beginning
