Classic must-see bibliography

Photo Creation of Feature Film Mu China Film Publishing House

This book is a must-read for the photography department. No matter whether you are admitted to the photography department or not, you must read this book at least three times if you want to study hard.

This book is one of the most classic textbooks in photography department. The writer is Mu Andeyu, a teacher of Nortel Grade 78. This book expounds the creation of film photography from five aspects.

First of all, this book introduces what cinematography is from five angles: the elements of cinematography, the aesthetics of cinematography, the relationship between director, photography and art, the relationship between cinematography and technology, the relationship between digital production and cinematography, and the relationship between cinematography and sound.

Next, it introduces the development process of cinematography from hardware to senior photographer, which belongs to the historical part.

Then, enter the most critical part, that is, the photographer's preliminary basic work, including the basic literacy of the cinematographer, how the cinematographer should interpret the script, the photographer's choice of scenery, the photographer's determination of film style, the photographer's choice of photographic materials, the photographer's basic desk work, the means of expression of photography, the S production process of photography and the shooting budget. This is a detailed description of what a photographer should do.

The next key point is the shooting process. The first is the cooperation between photographer and director, art, production, lighting, editing and other departments. Then there is the work that the photographer needs to do at the shooting scene. After the shooting is completed, it is the communication between the photographer and the printing factory, then the photographer's analysis of the proofs, and finally the photographer's final judgment on the copy.

The last part of this book discusses some problems that will be encountered in film photography, such as affecting quality, time and space images, film color and so on. These aspects are basic questions for photographers, but they are really places that teachers like to take exams.

Film photography lighting skills course? Heqing world book publishing company

This book combines the teaching content and theoretical knowledge of Mr. He Qing, defines concepts and classic film examples, as well as his years of accumulated experience in photography and lighting, and expresses it through simple illustrations and simple language narration.

Judging from the examination questions of the photography department in recent years, many topics come from this book, which can be regarded as a textbook with the nature of subject source.

This book mainly focuses on the lighting of film photography, explaining in detail the basic knowledge of film lighting, the basic lighting concept that photographers should have, the treatment of real lighting, the treatment of exterior lighting and the lighting treatment of studios.

Film lighting equipment and operation? Cai Quanyong World Book Publishing Company

If Teacher He Qing's "Movie Photography Lighting Skills Course" is about lighting skills, then this "Movie Lighting Equipment and Operation" is about specific equipment. This book is the key teaching material of Beijing Film Academy. In this paper, the lighting equipment commonly used in film production in the world today is comprehensively introduced, and the safe operation of lighting equipment is also explained in detail in combination with the author's many years of practical experience.

This book first introduces the basic optical knowledge of movie lighting, and then tells the knowledge of power consumption of lighting very intimately. Next, the key points are described, including the usage methods and scenes of tungsten halogen lamp, metal halogen lamp, Keno Flo lamp, Tutu lamp, LED lamp and common film lighting equipment. Finally, the safe operation procedure of film lighting is introduced.

This book is a perfect match with Mr. He Qing's book.

Examination scope

Let's take a look at the requirements of photographers in recent years, which is very strange:

This business course mainly examines students' general basic academic research ability, including but not limited to: academic reading ability, academic understanding ability, academic analysis ability and thinking depth, academic expression ability, interdisciplinary knowledge transfer ability and so on. The test languages are Chinese and English. Specific knowledge points are composed of the following four parts:

1. General research ability. Recommended reading bibliography: research technology, fourth edition, Wayne C. Booth, etc.

2. Basic knowledge of movies. The required and recommended bibliography is the same as business subject 1: basic theory of art film (academic);

3. The theoretical basis of teaching. Recommended bibliography: learning and teaching,10the d. Richard I Arends;

4. Statistical basis. Requirements: It is equivalent to the probability statistics in college liberal arts mathematics class, focusing on the understanding of concepts, and can estimate parameters and test hypotheses with the help of calculation tools.

In terms of scope, requirements and difficulty, it can be said that the difficulty is not the most difficult in the whole Nortel. The top three are certain, and many amateur students may not even know the requirements of the exam, resulting in as few candidates applying for this major as those admitted to this major.

Of course, the students did not see the recommended bibliography designated by Nortel officially from the reference books we recommended. In fact, according to our classmates' review in previous years, these two books are somewhat useful, but they are not very useful. Your English is better, and your knowledge of basic photography theory is better. That's all that matters.

Of course, if you have any questions, you can refer to the information of the second major of our photography department. Compared with last year, the information of the two majors has been updated to a certain extent this year. Let's see:
