How many types of scenes are there in movie lenses?

The division of scenes can generally be divided into five types, from near to far, they are

close-ups (referring to the human body above the shoulders). Close-ups prompt information and create suspense. They can show characters' facial expressions in subtle ways, depict characters, and express complex character relationships. It has a special visual experience that is not common in life.

Close shot (referring to the human body above the chest). Close-up shots focus on showing the characters’ facial expressions and conveying the characters’ inner world. It is the most powerful scene to depict the character.

Medium shot (referring to the human body above the knees). The mid-shot is the scene with the strongest narrative function. In scenes that contain dialogue, action, and emotional exchanges, the use of mid-range scenes can be the most beneficial and balanced way to express the relationship between characters and the relationship between characters and the surrounding environment.

Panorama (the entire body and surrounding background). Panorama is used to show the whole scene and the whole body movements of the characters. It is used in TV dramas to show the relationship between characters and the relationship between people and the environment.

Vision (the environment where the subject is located). Long shots are generally used to show the overall environment away from the camera, showing the characters and their surrounding broad space environment, natural scenery and large scenes of mass activities.

In movies, directors and photographers use complex and changeable scene scheduling and lens scheduling, and alternately use various scenes to narrate the plot of the film, express the thoughts and feelings of the characters, and make the characters more vivid. The handling of relationships is more expressive, thus enhancing the artistic appeal of the film. Extended information

The role of scene

1. Changes in scene bring changes in viewpoints, which can satisfy the audience’s comprehensive needs from different sight distances and angles through camera modeling. Psychological requirements for viewing subjects.

The distance between the audience and the TV screen is relatively stable when watching TV. The changes in the scene make the image sometimes show the whole picture, sometimes show the details; sometimes it is far away and as small as a dot, sometimes it is close. Filling the frame; visually making it possible for the viewer to view an object from a distance or near.

2. The change of scene is one of the factors that realize the modeling intention and form the rhythm change.

In the modeling expression and picture shots of TV pictures, different scenes reflect different modeling intentions, and the combination of different scenes creates changes in visual rhythm. The audience not only feels the cameraman's picture thinking in the changes in the time, space and visual distance of the picture, but also specifically feels the rhythm changes of the entire TV film or TV program through the size and urgency of scene jumps and viewpoint jumps. For example, the long shot is followed by the large panoramic shot, and then the panoramic shot, the rhythm is lyrical and soothing; the shot grouping of the two extreme scenes is like the panorama followed by the close-up, the rhythm is jumpy and urgent.

3. Changes in scene make the picture more directional

The pictures in different scenes include different time, space and content. In fact, the film crew is constantly standardizing and limit the scope of the subject's recognition, which determines the audience's visual acceptance of the information in the picture, thereby guiding the audience to pay attention to and watch different aspects of the subject, and giving the picture a layered and narrated representation of things. Emphasis and sequence. The arrangement of scenes is essentially the arrangement of the time and space of the images that the audience can see. Using different scenes to effectively control the audience's audio-visual attention and giving appropriate expressive meaning to the subjects is an important creative activity for television producers.
