What aspects should be considered when determining the shooting point?

The shooting point directly determines the location, size, distance and height of the scene on the screen. In fact, there are countless shooting points around a subject, and different shooting points have different display effects on the same scene on the screen. We can find the best shooting point from the following aspects.

Selection of shooting direction: shooting from different directions can not only change the content of the background, but also make the photographed object image change obviously. According to the different shooting directions, shooting can be divided into four typical situations: frontal shooting, frontal shooting, oblique shooting and back shooting. Frontal shooting is conducive to expressing the positive image of the subject, being good at expressing the scenery with symmetrical beauty, and forming a solemn and stable composition effect. However, the lack of change in frontal shooting is not conducive to expressing the sense of space and three-dimensional sense of the scene. The front is mostly used for portrait shooting, which can highlight the outline and physical beauty of the profile of the person; Oblique shot is one of the most commonly used shooting methods, which can effectively express the three-dimensional sense and spatial sense of the scene, and diagonal lines can also enhance the motion of the picture; The back shooting has implicit expressive force, which can make the picture show special connotation.

Determination of shooting distance: Generally speaking, when the focal length of the lens is fixed, the closer the shooting distance is, the larger the area occupied by the same subject on the screen, and the smaller the range of scenery it contains, and vice versa. The scene is usually used to indicate the size of the scene range included in the shooting. Before shooting, we should understand the expressive force of different scenes and determine the size of the intake range according to the needs of the theme. Usually the foreground is more prominent in expressing the momentum of the scene. Foreground can not only represent the scene, but also the surrounding environment, emphasizing the relationship between scenes. Therefore, when shooting vast fields, winding rivers, rolling mountains and other scenery, we'd better choose a long-term composition; Panorama is good at expressing the whole picture of the subject and a small amount of environment; Mid shot is good at expressing the relationship between people, people and things, things and things. When shooting portraits in the middle shot, we should pay attention to the expression of demeanor, posture and gestures. Close-ups and close-ups are good at expressing the details of the scene or the attitude of the characters.

Selection of shooting height: shooting height includes three forms: flat shooting, overhead shooting and overhead shooting. Select the horizon whose shooting height is also in the positioning screen. Whether the horizon in the picture is high or low depends on the content; Generally speaking, when the sky accounts for 1/3 and the ground accounts for 2/3 in the picture, it is the most visually pleasing; The tilt of the horizon on the screen will produce chaotic flu.
