What is a lens?

Shot splitting refers to various video media such as movies, animations, TV dramas, advertisements, music videos, etc. Before the actual shooting or drawing, explain the composition of the image in the form of story frames, decompose the continuous pictures in a shot unit, and mark the mode, duration, dialogue and special effects of the shot.

The content includes: lens number, scene, shooting mode, picture content, dialogue, sound effect, music, lens length and other items. The content of the screen is usually drawn according to the script, which is the blueprint for the director's overall design and conception of the film.

The main task is to design the corresponding pictures according to the commentary and TV literature script, configure the music sound and grasp the rhythm and style of the film.

On the basis of the script, the montage thinking and montage skills are used to recreate the script, that is, according to the shooting outline or literary script and referring to the actual situation of the shooting scene, the scenes or paragraphs are separated, and the overall image is constructed on the screen by means of image contrast, echo, accumulation, suggestion, juxtaposition and conflict. According to the text script, it is not the illustration and translation of the text script, but the re-creation of the film and television language on the basis of the text script. Although the script is also written in words, it is close to TV, or it can be "projected" in the mind, and some visible effects have been achieved.

The main contents of the TV program director's work when writing the lens script are as follows:

The screen content of the text script is processed into specific images and shots, and the shot numbers of the shots are listed in order.

Determine the scene of each shot, such as far, all, middle, near and special.

Arrange to form a lens group and explain the lens assembly skills.

Describe the content of the picture in refined and concrete language, and express it with the help of graphics and symbols when necessary.

Explanation of the corresponding lens group.

Music and sound effects corresponding to lens groups or paragraphs.

Story board's role is like a blueprint of an architecture, which is the basis and blueprint for photographers to shoot, edit and post-produce, and also the basis for actors and all creative personnel to understand the director's intention, understand the content of the script and re-create.

Format of shot script: the shot script of TV program, usually in the form of table.

Story board's writing method draws lessons from the creation of movie storyboards. Generally, according to the order of lens number, lens movement, scene, duration, picture content, advertising words and music sound, draw a table and fill it in item by item. For experienced directors, they can also master the format flexibly when writing, and don't have to stick to the form.

Mirror number: that is, the serial number of the lens, which is marked by numbers according to the order of the lenses that make up the TV screen. It can be used as a code name for a shot. You don't have to shoot in sequence number when shooting, but you must edit in sequence when editing.

Machine number: when shooting on the spot, two or three cameras are often used to work at the same time, and the machine number represents which camera took this shot. When the front and rear two shots are shot by more than two cameras respectively, the combination of shots will be edited by the stunt machine on the spot. Single camera shooting does not need labeling.

Scenery: according to the content needs and plot requirements, it reflects the whole or prominent part of the object. Generally, there are distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view, close-up and so on.
