What is borrowing?

Borrowing is a professional term in photography. It is a method of using the shooting angle to modify the actual shooting effect. Changing the relative positions of actors, props and scenery in order to film the same scene from different angles.

Examples: 1. Kissing in a borrowed position: No touching, just because of the angle, it looks like they are actually kissing.

2. Borrowed photography is very popular recently. Different effects can be created through the distance between people, or between people and objects, and the combination of POSE.

h By using a special angle to shoot something like a kiss scene, the audience will think it is a real kiss, which will increase the visual effect... and the actors will not be embarrassed. Mainly used from the perspective of film and television art shooting and production.

Because some actors resist kissing scenes, but cannot be deleted due to the needs of the plot, special pseudo-kissing angles are used to shoot the kissing scene that looks real to the audience. This is a borrowed kiss scene
