In this section, we'll dive into theMidjourneyThe use of perspective in photography and filmmaking. Perspective is the viewing position and angle of the subject in photography and filmmaking, which directly affects the composition and visual effect of the image, and is an important means of expressing the photographer's point of view and emotions. We will learn how the perspective changes vertically and horizontally, and how to realize these perspective changes with Midjourney.
I. What is perspective?
Perspective refers to the position and angle of the camera's observation of the subject in photography or movie making. Different viewpoints can bring about different effects of picture presentation, thus affecting the audience's emotional experience.
II. Angle changes in the vertical direction
1. Bird's Eye View (Bird's Eye View)
Bird's eye view refers to the camera taking a long distance shot above the subject to show a wide range of scenes, often used in geography, cities and other wide scenes. In Midjourney, we can add bird's eye view cue word to realize this perspective.
2. Overhead angle (High Angle View)
A top-down view means that the camera is positioned above the subject to make the subject appear smaller, and is often used to express the emotion of weakness and helplessness of the subject. In Midjourney, use the high angle view prompt to realize the top view effect.
3、Plane view angle (Eye Level View)
Eye level view means that the camera and the subject are on the same level, which gives people a sense of equality and objectivity, and can reflect the narrative of the picture more. In Midjourney, adding the eye level view cue word can help us to get a level view picture.
4. Elevation angle (Low Angle View)
Low angle view means that the camera is positioned below the subject to make the subject appear larger, and is often used to express the powerful and majestic emotion of the subject. In Midjourney, the low angle view cue can be used to realize the effect of looking up.
III. Angular changes in the horizontal direction
1、Positive view (Front View)
Front view means that the camera is directly facing the subject to shoot, and directly expresses the subject, so that the audience can clearly see the facial expression and movement of the subject. In Midjourney, front view cue word can help us to get the front view picture.
2、Front Side View (Front Side View)
Front side view means that the camera is on the side of the subject and facing the direction of the shot, making it easier to show features and details. In Midjourney, the front side view cue word enables the front side view effect.
3、Side view (Side View)
Side view means that the camera shoots the target object at a side angle, which is suitable for creating a sense of dynamics and speed, as well as for reflecting conversational relationships. In Midjourney, the side view cue word can help us get a side view image.
4、Rear Side View (Rear Side View)
A rear side view is when the camera shoots from the back side of the subject to maintain mystery and direct the viewer's attention. In Midjourney, the rear side view cue word can be used to achieve the effect of a rear side view.
5. Back View
Back view means that the camera shoots from the back of the subject to add a sense of mystery and to express the emotion of loneliness or parting. In Midjourney, the back view cue word can help us get the back view image.
IV. Conclusion
Through the content of this section, we have learned the influence of different perspectives on the emotional expression of the picture, and learned how to realize these perspective changes in Midjourney. You can open Midjourney, change the cue words of different perspectives, and generate them in sequence to experience the emotional difference of different perspectives, and consciously utilize different perspectives to shape different narratives and emotional expressions.
