In the practice of shooting, we often come across pictures that focus on performance scale, scene and momentum. In such a picture, it is difficult for us to clearly say which thing is the main body of the picture, so how should we construct such a picture? This involves a new concept, the concept of fulcrum.

When shooting a big scene that mainly shows the scene, scale, quantity and momentum, it is often necessary to find a thing or a point in the shooting scene to play a leading role in the overall and structured picture. This thing or point is the fulcrum of the picture.

Fulcrum is often in a dominant position in the picture, and it often has obvious contrast with other things in tone and color. Fulcrum is not necessarily more important than other elements in expressing the theme. Its area in the picture is often relatively small, but it can make the finishing point and structure the picture. The fulcrum can also highlight the key points in the scene and scale, and reveal the essence of the event and the climax of the atmosphere rhythm.

When dealing with fulcrums, it should be noted that some things and images can easily catch people's eyes and become fulcrums because of their visual psychology and visual experience. Such as people, animals and creatures; Non-natural scenery, especially artificial scenery with certain formal beauty and certain significance, such as pavilions, towers, bridges, buildings, monuments, temples, sailboats, etc.; A scene in sharp contrast to other things. If you want to choose something in the diagram as the fulcrum, you can choose these things intentionally. If you don't use these things as fulcrums, you should pay special attention to avoid them to prevent them from interfering with the viewer's line of sight.
