Shooting angle of photographic structure

Lead: Shooting direction refers to choosing shooting points around the shooting object on the same horizontal plane with the shooting object as the center. With the same shooting distance and shooting height, different shooting directions can show different side images of the subject, as well as different combinations of the subject and his companions, the subject and the environment. Shooting directions are usually divided into: front angle, oblique angle, side angle, back angle and back angle. Let's take a look at the characteristics and advantages of each angle.

Photographic composition shooting angle 1 First, the frontal angle.

The frontal angle refers to the shooting position at a certain angle with the front of the subject, which mainly shows the typical image of the front of an object. For example, architecture, regardless of ancient and modern design, pays attention to the positive style and decoration, such as Tian 'anmen, exhibition hall and museum in Beijing. A positive angle can show the true color of an object. Character appearance is also a good example, and the positive image has the characteristics of character appearance. Orthographic composition mainly shows that objects are mostly on the dividing line of the center of the building, which is often symmetrical. Generally speaking, the positive composition image is dignified and steady.

Second, the oblique angle

Oblique angle refers to the shooting position that deviates from the front angle, or moves to the side angle left or right around the object. When the angle deviation between the front and the side is small, the front image often changes little. You can choose a suitable shooting position within the range of front and side angles, which can not only show the image characteristics of the front or side of the object, but also make the image of the object have rich and varied changes, and often get vivid images.

Third, the side angle

Side angle generally refers to the shooting position perpendicular to the side of the subject, which mainly shows that the side of some objects has typical images. For example, portrait photography, silhouette angle can clearly see the external contour characteristics of a person's appearance, making the portrait form diverse. In objective objects, many objects can only be seen clearly from the side, such as the figure of people walking, the foreign trade of various vehicles, and some electrical appliances. Under such conditions, the lateral angle can better express the characteristics of the object. The side angle is more flexible than the front angle, and some changes can be made around the verticality of the side to obtain the shooting position that can best express the side image of the object.

Fourth, reverse the angle.

Inverted angle refers to the shooting position that moves from the side angle around the subject to the back angle. It has abnormal consciousness. It can often show the unique spirit of objects. Compared with the commonly used front, side and oblique side angles, it has unexpected effects and often gets very vivid images. Of course, for some objects, it is like an oblique image. So the angle of the opposite direction needs the subject, or only the right subject can choose the opposite direction.

Fifth, the back angle

The choice of the shooting direction of the back angle not only changes the image of the subject, the form of composition, but also changes the content of performance. Therefore, when considering the choice of shooting direction, it should change according to the specific shooting object and the requirements of theme performance. As for the rake angle, bevel angle, side angle, dihedral angle and back angle, there is no difference between good and bad. If used properly, you will get a successful composition.

The second angle of photography composition is five kinds of scenery first.

Scenery is an important factor affecting picture composition. Scene difference refers to the change of the distance between the subject and the lens, which causes the difference of the range and size of the subject in the picture. There are distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view and close-up.

distant view

Foresight means that the picture includes more environmental factors and other factors besides the main body. At this time, we should pay more attention to the choice of background, and try to choose some simple backgrounds to avoid it.

Vision has a unique application in rendering atmosphere, expressing emotion and expressing artistic conception. Because of its broad vision, it is more expressive in momentum, scale and scene.

The whole scene

Panorama refers to taking the subject as the focus of the picture and showing it all in the picture, which is suitable for showing the whole picture of the subject, and it is easier to show the close relationship between the subject and the environment than the prospect.

In portrait shooting, the application of panoramic composition can not only show the behavior, facial expression and dressing of the characters, but also show the inner activities of the characters to some extent.

Mid shot:

Mid shot refers to the part above the knee of the subject. It is used to describe some details of the characters, and there are also some environmental factors in the picture to render the atmosphere.

Nearby scenery

Close-ups mainly shoot the part above the chest of the subject. This composition reduces the description of the main environment, but it has a good level of detail of the main body, making the picture have a certain appeal.

Feature Articles

The close-up is mainly aimed at the face and appearance of the subject. Photographers mainly use the delicate makeup of the subject to give people a close-up angle.

Three shooting directions

Shooting direction refers to the direction of taking the subject as the center and making circular motion around the subject on the same horizontal plane. Choosing different shooting directions can show the typical images of different sides of the subject and the relationship between the subject, the companion and the environment. In addition, different shooting directions will bring different picture emotions.

Frontal shooting

Frontal shooting means that the camera is opposite to the front of the subject. Shooting from a positive angle can clearly show the positive image of the subject.

Side shot

Side shot means that the camera is positioned 90 degrees in front of the subject to shoot. Shooting from the side can highlight the outline of the main body.

Back shot

Back shooting often has a certain suspense effect. When people are interested in the back of a character, they often want to see its positive image.
