Mobile phone food video recording method

As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people.

As the saying goes, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Now the short video of food has become a series of "no brushing during the day, no escaping at night". Tik Tok, friends circle and Weibo, the status of short food videos is almost as stable as Mount Tai.

At present, short food videos of about one minute are very popular, neither too long nor too short. It is both fascinating and will not make people feel mentally stimulated and tired. So, how to shoot a one-minute short video of food? What are the short video shooting skills?

First, decide on the theme.

Actually, it's like writing an article. To write an article, you must make up your mind first. To shoot a short video, you must decide the theme first. It is necessary to know what kind of short food video you want to shoot, whether it is with stories or pure food, or to make a collection of food albums.

Second, determine the train of thought

Everything comes first, then comes. There must be an order for what to shoot first and then what to shoot. If you want to shoot a short food video with a story, the story narrative method can be flashback, so you should follow the story narrative method. If it is food production, you can shoot the finished product first or make a brief introduction first, and then shoot the specific ingredients production process.

Third, the specific shooting

In the specific shooting process, you can use the following short video shooting techniques:

(1) color matching

For food, warm colors will make it look more appetizing. So you can decorate the environment or adjust the camera settings before shooting. If you are not prepared in the early stage, you will spend a little effort and make a good adjustment in the later stage. In the process of color matching, color saturation and color temperature must be well controlled to prevent going too far.

(2) Slow motion

Slow motion can better express people's emotions and the connotation of things. Proper use of slow motion plays an important role in food shooting. For example, I'm going to shoot the roast chicken leg on the barbecue stall now. The content of the slow-motion picture is: the chicken leg is roasted on the shelf, the surface of the chicken leg is dark orange and a little burnt under the action of the light, the oil is pricking and bubbling, and a thin layer of Chili powder falls from the air ... Think about this picture, the saliva will flow down.

(3) Delayed shooting

A few seconds of delayed shooting of weather and environment can be added to a video to relieve the audience's attention fatigue and properly explain the background. You can refer to the application of time-delay shooting in food documentaries such as China on the Tip of the Tongue and Xunwei Shunde.

(4) shooting angle

There is actually no fixed shooting angle. As long as it can show the characteristics of the subject to the greatest extent, this angle is good. When shooting, try shooting from multiple angles. Others say that shooting food from the best angle is not necessarily applicable, and you should choose it yourself during the shooting process.

Fourth, post-production.

Pay attention to these problems in the later stage: (1) color matching in the later stage. Even if the environment is prepared for the early shooting, the color matching in the later stage is necessary. (2) unskilled transition. Don't use too many skills during the transition, otherwise it will be dazzling and disgusting. (3) Ensure the image quality. (4) Processing the sound and adding appropriate BGM (background music).
