Close-up of photographic terms

Panorama, distant view, middle view, close-up view and close-up are collectively called scenery, which refers to the difference in the scope of the subject caused by the different distance between the camera and the subject in the movie screen.

There are generally five kinds of scenic spots.

Close-up refers to the part of the human body above the shoulder, mainly shooting the details of the face, from far to near.

Close-up refers to shooting pictures above the chest, mainly shooting facial expressions.

Mid shot refers to the picture above the knee of the human body, focusing on the human posture and ecology.

Panorama refers to the whole human body and the surrounding background, which can show the environment in which people live.

Foresight refers to the environment in which the subject is located.

In the film, the director and photographer use the complicated and changeable scene scheduling and lens scheduling alternately to use different scenes, which can make the narrative of the film plot, the expression of the characters' thoughts and feelings and the handling of the relationship between the characters more expressive, thus enhancing the artistic appeal of the film. If the two are directly combined, it will cause a great leap in vision and emotion, and often receive unique artistic effects.

Extended data:

A scene is a photograph taken by a camera at different distances from an object or with a zoom lens at different ranges. In order to meet people's psychological and visual needs when observing a certain thing or phenomenon, movies can change different scenes at any time, just like in real life, we often look at the whole scene from a close distance, look forward, or stare at the main body or even a part of things according to the psychological needs at that time.

In this way, the image reflected on the screen will change more or less. The determination of the scene is an important part of the photographer's creative conception. Whether the scenery is used properly depends on whether the author's theme is clear, whether his thinking is clear, and whether he has a deep understanding of the expressive force of each part of the scene.

For example, take a ballet dancer's dance, and if the distance is not far, remove the dancer's toes; Check the product carefully, but the hand is not in the picture; It should be emphasized that the expression is too far away to see the face; It should be emphasized that the atmosphere is not given room for stretching and so on. These are all problems of unclear thinking.

As for some people who don't think about the use of other scenes in advance, they often shoot first, and the middle scenes and close-ups need to be enlarged and then cut. This is because they don't understand the influence of shooting distance on the image quality and expressiveness of the picture. In order to ensure perfect picture quality, the determination of the scene should be completed as early as possible when shooting.
