How to fold and use the reflector?

? ? Lead: With the development of science and technology and the rise of technology, many new intelligent products appear in our field of vision. For example, in the past, the auxiliary equipment in shooting was generally flash, but with the development, the new auxiliary equipment such as reflector is more and more popular. How much do you know about reflector friends? If you don't know much about it, let's take a look at Bian Xiao's introduction and usage of reflector, and the most important folding method of reflector that Bian Xiao wants everyone to know. ? ?

Introduction of reflector

Reflecting plate is an auxiliary tool for film and television lighting, which is made of tin powder paper, white cloth, rice pineapple and other materials. The reflector plays an auxiliary lighting role in appearance and is sometimes used as the main light. Different reflective surfaces can produce different soft and hard light. Commonly used is a silver reflector. Especially when the main light source such as fluorescent lamp and strongpoint is 1 lamp, it is light and effective. If it is used at close range, you can buy white lining paper in stationery store and paste silver paper or aluminum foil on its monotonous surface, which can be divided into silver reflector and white reflector. Try the silver reflector first. If the reflective effect is excessive, use the white reflector.

Introduction to the use of reflector

If the sunlight is the main light source, the reflector is essential. When the sun is used as the background light source, it is necessary to use the "soft" surface of the soft mirror or the hard mirror to prevent them from showing too strong point light source feeling in the sun. Arrange the actors in the sun. Let the sun shine from 10:30. Put the reflector in front of the actors at an angle of 4:30, which should be high enough to reflect sunlight into their eyes, but not strong enough to make them feel dizzy. If soft white light is needed, use a soft white light reflector. If you need a little flash, use a silver mirror. If you want to add a warm tone to an actor's face or body, use a golden diffuse reflector. Soften all these effects. You can use the following mirror combinations: white/gold, white/silver, silver/black and silver/gold.

When a surface has color, it is because it reflects color into people's eyes. Knowing the characteristics of color can make you create the desired effect more effectively in the process of scene creation. Using this concept, you can use blue reflectors to make actors look colder, or use red reflectors to make them look more passionate.

If you need to use sunlight, but the actors are in shadow because of the scene or background, you don't need to carry a huge HMI lamp or pull out a 500-foot-long powerful cable. You can achieve the desired effect by using a silver or gold hard mirror to reflect light to the scene. In general, hard mirrors should not be used as main light sources or scene light sources.

Introduction of mirror folding method

Step 1: Hold both ends tightly with both hands and fold towards the middle.

Step 2: Hold the front end with your right hand, hold the back end with your body, and fold it clockwise;

Step 3: Right hand down, left hand up, fold up. After folding, you can see three circles.

Introduce how to fold the mirror.

Step 1: Hold one side with both hands, hold it forward and hold it backward;

Step 2: rotate counterclockwise along the gesture to make the reflector form an "8" shape;

Step 3: Fold it to the middle to form three circles. The circle in the middle is sandwiched in the middle, not bad.

The above article is an introduction to reflector and its usage, and it is also the most important folding method of reflector. Why is the folding method of reflector the most important? This is because if you can't master the correct folding method of the reflector, you will waste your friends at least one hour. This is no exaggeration. This is the experience of many people, so it is really useful for you to know how to fold the reflector.
