Documentary shooting methods commonly used documentary shooting methods

1, observation type. The camera is always a bystander, does not interfere with or affect the process of events, and always records in a silent way, so its authenticity is more reliable. Nowadays, many domestic films highly admire this technique, but it is difficult to express abstract things, and it will be particularly boring when encountering inappropriate themes.

2. Participation. That is, "participating in the camera", the photographer not only expects the subject to move in a natural posture, but also expects that the photographer's * * * participation will stimulate the creative effect of * *. This kind of shooting technique is called "real movie", which makes it easier to express the inner world of the characters.

3. Missionary skills. The director's intention is extremely clear and subjective. Shooting object, montage language, etc. Should serve the theme of the director. The whole movie shows not events, not characters, but thoughts. For example, every shot in Unbalanced World has no specific meaning. After the director's lifting treatment and montage combination, it has become a language used to explain religious thoughts, which makes people feel strongly shocked after reading it.

4. Drama conflict skills. Dramatic conflict is an indispensable factor in structural feature films, and it is also used for reference by documentary shooting techniques. This technique is generally filmed in the present continuous tense, and the plot revolves around the contradiction of the event.

5. Lyric technique. The application of this technique in documentary will make the film look smoother, clearer and more aesthetic. For example, people in northern Tibet use this technique to express the life of the protagonist and his family in a poetic way.
