The boom extends from the wheel system and counterweight at the tail end, connects to the balance cable, and plunges straight into the air, with a length of more than ten meters to tens of meters (retractable), and a gimbal and a camera at the end.

We often see in movie footage that there is a long pole link, and the camera that swings in the air is the camera telescopic crane.

Jiang Xin pointed to the camera's telescopic rocker arm and said: "This camera is a wide-angle lens, and it can also shoot aerial long shots, and the content presented can almost only see the shape, and the main role of this lens is to shoot the environment." This shot has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to pay much attention to it. ”

The assistant director was taken aback.

As a crew member, or director. If you know about the telescopic rocker, it is not surprising, but Jiang Xin, as an actor and a special actor for the masses, can know so much about photography tools.

Not only can you tell the telescopic jib, but you can also tell what kind of lens you are shooting.

Strange people, really strange people.

The assistant director looked at Jiang Xin in a daze, and pointed to the camera that was closer to the two of them, "What about this lens?"

Jiang Xin turned his head and glanced at the camera, which was a stationary camera, just on the side of the road, but Jiang Xin was not sure if it was a close-up or a close-up shot.

If it is a close-up shot, it is usually shot above the shoulders of the person, or a certain part, Jiang Xin glanced around again, and found that there were two or two cameras next to this camera.

In this case, those two cameras should be mainly close-up shots, and this camera should mainly shoot close-ups.

"This shot is a close-up, mainly above the shoulder, or a close-up, a close-up of my movements, will be presented in this shot. So I need to make the action perfect in this position. ”

Jiang Xin is right, just imagine, there is a high-speed vehicle on the road, Jiang Xin ran over quickly, and inserted the advertising flyer in his hand into the door handle, at this time, the camera was pulled, and he got it, the advertising leaflet, the door handle, and three objects.

Is there a sense of danger that arises spontaneously? That's what close-ups do, and that's the charm of close-ups.

Generally speaking, the person who can tell the role of a close-up is not a graduate of a professional film school, that is, an old actor.

The assistant director felt that Jiang Xin was a little interesting, but he didn't expect that this young man was not very old and knew a lot, "You continue." ”

Jiang Xin pointed to the third and fourth cameras, which were parallel to each other, on the same side of the road, and seemed to form an axis in the middle of the cameras.

Directors of motion film shooting know that with the character AB as the point, an invisible line will be formed, which is called the 180-degree axis, and the two machines must be on the same side of this axis, otherwise they will cross the axis.

Crossing the axis first will make the machine goof.

Second, the picture presented will also make the audience uncomfortable to watch.

The height of the two cameras is about 1 meter to 1.2 meters.

Jiang Xin said: "These two cameras should be responsible for shooting close-up shots, which will shoot the person's chest or half of the body, and shoot some of the actors' movements, conversations, and especially expressions of expression." ”

The assistant director nodded, signaling that Jiang Xin was right.

Jiang Xin raised his arm behind him and pointed to the camera in the distance, which was the fifth camera.

"The lenses that are mainly used for shooting medium shots are also commonly used. Deepen the sense of depth of the picture, show a certain environment and atmosphere, and often use him to narrate the plot. ”

"Yes, it seems that you still have some knowledge. The assistant director patted Jiang Xin on the shoulder and gave him affirmation, and then looked around and saw a photographer carrying a camera to shoot everywhere, constantly interspersed in the crew.

This is the sixth camera.

The assistant director pointed to the cameraman, "What about this camera?"

Jiang Xin frowned slightly, this camera, there is no introduction in the system!

It's like shooting close-ups, but sometimes shooting seven-part shots.

It's like shooting a zoom lens, but you're shooting a deep focus lens.

One moment to lock the painting, the other to set the scene.

is not only filming the actors, but also filming the staff.

What kind of shot is this? Jiang Xin was suspicious in his heart.

He stared at the camera for tens of seconds, and didn't spit out a word.

"I don't know, do you?" said the assistant director.

If Jiang Xin is asked to say all the shots, then what else will the director do?

This shot, as if it is not introduced in the system, what is the purpose of it? Jiang Xin thought secretly, lowered his head and pondered, "Let me think about it first." ”

The assistant director clasped his arms in front of him, "Think, think whatever you want." ”

It didn't take long for the camera to walk next to Jiang Xin and the assistant director, facing the two directly.

The cameraman said, "Assistant Director, would it be convenient to interview you now?"

Jiang Xin frowned, pointed to the camera, slapped his hands, and folded! "Trivia shots!"

The assistant director angrily kicked the photographer lightly and joked, "It's really good time for you to come!"

"All six shots are correct, so how do you think the camera should be set up in this scene?" asked the assistant director.

Jiang Xin pointed to the third and fourth shots, that is, the two shots that are parallel to each other and are responsible for close-ups, shooting the conversations and expressions of the characters.

"The two shots were removed and replaced with a camera, which was placed in the middle of the actors. When filming a conversation with a character, you can constantly fight back, and immediately shoot another person after shooting. Jiang Xin said.

The assistant director thought about it for about ten seconds, and suddenly, he suddenly realized, "Yes, you can do a counterattack, after filming this way, and then shoot there, it's just a little troublesome, but it doesn't affect anything." ”

Jiang Xin pointed to the position behind the camera again, "A pan lens is needed here, from left to to, from right to left to shoot the passing vehicles." ”

The assistant director thought for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Xin tremblingly, "Yes, you are so smart, if you add a pan behind this camera, the two cameras will not be buttocks." ”

The pan lens and the pitch camera are the lenses that Huaguo has used badly, one is to move left and right to shoot, and the other is to move up and down to shoot.

But if you use it well, it will become a classic, such as "Fast and Furious", which used the pan lens badly and still became a classic.

Jiang Xin smiled slightly, responded to the assistant director's praise, and pointed to the place where the tilt camera was placed, "So it's okay to put a Steadicam here." ”

Steadicam is the camera stabilizer. A lightweight cinema camera mount that can be carried by hand. At the same time, it can also be placed on the slide rail.

Jiang Xin took two steps, and then pulled the close-up lens to the side of the panning lens, parallel to the panning lens, forming a 180-degree axis, "This lens only needs the photographer to adjust the focal length, and it can still shoot close-ups, in fact, these three lenses are really useful." ”
