Recently, I've been watching some blockbuster movies, and I've found that the reason why many classic movies are classic has a lot to do with the filming techniques of the movie, in addition to the profound content. For example, the lens, such as the scene, such as the shooting angle.
Then we use AI to make short videos today, if we can master these skills like real movie shooting, I think the videos we make can definitely be upgraded a notch.
I'm going to share with you today about the Scenic Fare piece.
long-range view
Visionary Features:Showing a vast setting with minimal or submerged characters.
Applicable scenarios:Account for the temporal and spatial setting in which the story takes place (e.g., desert, city panorama) to show a grandiose atmosphere or a sense of loneliness, nature documentary opening.
I made a picture about the vista, and this one just gives everyone a very lonely feeling.
Prompt word:A lone hiker walking through a vast desert under golden sunset, dunes stretching to the horizon, cinematic wide-angle shot, 8K detail
panoramic
Panoramic features:The figure is in the full body of the camera and the environment is still clearly visible.
Applicable scenarios:Showing costumes or movements when a character makes his or her first appearance, dance or sports videos, when it is necessary to emphasize the character's interaction with the environment.
I made a picture about the panorama, and this one just emphasizes the spirit of the dancers dancing on the stage~
Tips:A ballet dancer wearing a white ballet skirt performs a spin in the grand theater, with a gorgeous ceiling and red curtains clearly visible, soft stage lighting, and panoramic shots
medium term view
Features:Characters above the waist, taking into account expression and body language.
Applicable scenarios:Dialogue shots, for dramas, tutorial videos that require the display of hand-held props, such as cooking, crafts, etc., are used to balance the narrative passages of emotion and action~
I made a picture about the center view, and this one shows the chef chopping the vegetables very well~
Tips:The chef is cutting vegetables on a wooden board, focusing on the cutting technique with both hands. With warm kitchen lighting, ingredients are scattered on the ground, and the mid-range shooting angle is ideal
Close shot
Features:Characters above the chest or objects localized to highlight details.
Applicable scenarios:Conveying strong emotions, such as tears and smiles, or product displays, such as beauty products and jewelry, and close-ups of key clues in suspenseful movies~
I made a picture about the close up and this one illustrates the grandmother's emotions well~
Tips:On the wrinkled face of the old woman, a tear rolled down, and the depth of field was shallow. The golden time passed through the window, and the close-up shooting angle was The golden time passed through the window, and the close-up shooting angle was
close-up (filmmaking, photography etc)
Features:Only very small parts such as eyes and lips are photographed.
Applicable scenarios:Creating tension, such as a trembling finger pulling a trigger, scientific videos showing microscopic details, such as an insect's compound eye and abstract artistic expression.
I made a diagram about close-ups, this one is about a close-up of a bee, suitable for a science video~
Tips:Macro shot of a honeybee's compound eye, hexagonal patterns glowing in sunlight, ultra-detailed 4K
In addition to these differences in scenery, there are also many special shooting angles, the next also give you a brief introduction~
Eye of God
This kind of overhead shooting angle is usually to give the picture a sense of domination and fate metaphor, or the opening of a historical drama with aerial photography to present the rise and fall of dynasties, etc.~
Cue word: Bird's-eye view of ancient Chinese temple during Shangsi Festival, hundreds of lanterns floating on river forming dragon shape, drone shot with mist effectslighting
the microscopic world
This kind of shooting angle is usually to epicize the small things and trigger the philosophical association of "one flower, one world".
Tip: Early morning dew condenses at the tip of the rose petals, the sunlight penetrates the water droplets to form a circular rainbow projection, the wax layer on the surface of the petals shows delicate reflective texture, shot with a macro lens and shallow depth of field, suitable for illustration material for nature science books
Epic Sense Building
This type of photography is generally used to create a "tremor of civilization" on an inhuman scale ~ as follows
Cue in: Colossal ruined statue half-buried in desert, sandstorm approaching with lightning, tiny explorer figure holding torch at base, Denis Villeneuve cinematic style
Multi-Angle Combination
In fact, in a video, in addition to the application of different sceneries, can also be a combination of multiple angles, as shown below, the big top angle + telephoto: this way of filming, so that the prisoners on the island more oppressive~
Cue word: Drone view of Alcatraz prison at dusk, 200mm telephoto compressing distance, lone prisoner's shadow stretching across courtyard
Dutch corner + center shot for a more suspenseful image~
Cue word: Dutch angle shot of two spies whispering in rain, neon signs distorting through wet glass, medium shot with tense shoulder tension
In short, the scene is an important means of conveying information through the scope of lens framing in film and television creation, we use AI to do video also need to understand some of the language of the lens, as well as the shooting angle, so that the video made more three-dimensional ~
Did you learn the above?
