Detailed explanation of short video shooting skills, now the media industry is developing faster and faster, and even promotes the development of short video business. Many internet companies attach great importance to this and have launched their own self-media platforms. With the rapid development, the graphic carrier quickly transits to short video. Therefore, shooting is very important to us. But how do we shoot and highlight? Next, let's learn short video shooting skills in detail.

Teach short video shooting skills-1 First of all, composition is the key.

In painting, photography and graphic composition design, composition is the most important. The creator should show the theme and theme according to the requirements and combine them well. In order to form a harmonious and complete picture, it is necessary to properly organize the image to be expressed.

We should pay attention to the production of short videos of new things, combine the traditional art above and pay attention to composition. In the process of shooting, it can prevent the picture from being confused. If the subject is not prominent, you can highlight the main body of the work through composition, with clear priorities and concise and detailed pictures, which makes people look pleasing.

Second, anti-shake is essential.

When some people shoot videos, we often see that the picture is shaking badly, which makes people feel uncomfortable. No matter how good the picture is, it will not shake badly, and the audience's visual sense is not good, which will make people feel that they don't want to continue watching. How can we prevent jitter? Here are two things we can look at:

First, use anti-shake equipment, such as tripod, monopod, anti-shake stabilizer, etc. Now there are many anti-shake devices on the Internet, such as mobile phones, cameras and stands. We can equip one or two or so according to some equipment.

Secondly, pay attention to the action and posture when shooting, so as to avoid the substantial adjustment of the action. For example, when moving to shoot a video, the amount of action of our upper body should be reduced, and the lower body should move slowly and in small steps; Keep the upper body stable when walking, and only move the lower body; When the lens needs to be rotated, the above is the rotation axis, so try to keep the joints of both hands still to shoot.

Third, we should know how to transport mirrors.

Pay attention to some changes in the picture when shooting. Don't focus for a long time. You can't shoot the whole course in one posture. We should make the picture full of changes by pushing, pulling, following the camera and shaking the camera horizontally. For example, when shooting at a fixed point, people should pay attention to changing the whole picture by pushing the lens for panorama, middle shot, close shot and close-up, otherwise our picture will be very boring.

Fourth, pay attention to the use of light.

As we all know, whether shooting video or photos, making good use of light can improve the effect of photos or videos we take. In the process of shooting, we should use forward light, backward light, side backward light and scattered light to highlight objects and people, and at the same time ensure the clarity of the video. It is not enough to have light and darkness. When the light in the venue is insufficient, we can make up for it by proper lighting.

Fifth, post-production bonus points.

After the video shooting is completed, post-editing, such as screen switching, subtitles, background music, special effects and so on, is needed. Your own creative theme should be clear, your ideas and scripts should be well done, and you can add transitional stunts, montage effects, multi-pictures, picture-in-picture effects, picture color matching, etc. in the editing process, but you should pay attention to the special effects. Reasonable special effects are cool, but too many will make people feel dazzling.

Sixth, the duration should be appropriate.

Short video, as the name implies, is to control the duration of the video within 60 seconds. Nowadays, the video played on most short videos is generally between 20 and 60 seconds. For most of us, our eyesight begins to decline after 30 seconds, so it is suggested that the video shooting time should not be too long, and it is best to control it within 60 seconds.

Accidental encounter combined with certain skills to take impressive photos.

Taking a landscape photo is similar to painting on a blank canvas. At present, there is a magnificent scenery, but how to intercept and express it is the creator's own freedom. After determining the composition of the picture, you can take a picture consistent with your idea by using the necessary shooting skills. It may be accidental to meet the beautiful scenery, but it needs calm judgment to record it truthfully in the photo. When shooting scenery, it is also important to choose the appropriate shooting time besides the appropriate parameter settings. Because the light is constantly changing during the day, the same scenery will be taken at different times, and the effect will be different. It is necessary to seize a specific time of the day to shoot beautiful scenery. If it's a place where you can't come again, there's nothing you can do. However, if the schedule is relatively loose, you can shoot not only during the day, but also in the early morning or evening when the light is oblique. Many impressive landscape photos were taken during this period. Shooting itself does not need too complicated technology, but it is very important to choose a suitable shooting mode, especially when you want to shoot distant scenes very sharply, you should choose an aperture that can give full play to the resolution of the lens and the imaging ability of the camera. The commonly used shooting mode is Av (Aperture Priority Auto Exposure) mode. Because the photographer can freely choose the aperture, it gives the photographer more freedom of choice than those shooting modes where the aperture is automatically set by the camera, so it is very popular with users. Although the performance of different lenses is different, generally speaking, when you want to take a sharp perspective, setting the aperture of the lens between F5.6-8 can give full play to the resolution of the lens. Photographers can determine the aperture first and then consider the shutter speed to shoot. In addition, whether sharp performance can be obtained is also greatly affected by focusing conditions. It is recommended to use a tripod and choose manual focusing for real-time display shooting.

Point 1: Decide the subject, zoom and adjust the composition.

When taking a landscape photo, you must remember that you can't just lift it blankly, but find the theme of the picture in the landscape. In the above picture, the distant mountains become the theme of the picture. In order to control the composition, you can use a variety of lenses from wide angle to telephoto, or you can try to express the scene in a vertical way.

Point 2: Try to keep the picture horizontal or vertical.

When taking landscape photos, you should pay attention to the fact that the picture can't be tilted. When shooting, the grid lines are displayed in real time, which can be used as a reference for detecting whether the picture is horizontal or not. In addition, some models are equipped with electronic level meters, so it is recommended to use them flexibly. You can also use a level that can be hung on the camera's hot shoes, or a level with a tripod.

Point 3: Fix the camera firmly with a tripod.

As mentioned earlier, using a tripod can make the composition more stable. Also, when using Av (Aperture Priority Auto Exposure) mode to narrow the aperture for shooting, if the light is weak, the shutter speed may decrease, so be sure to prepare a tripod.

The fourth point: focus on infinity.

When shooting a distant view such as a landscape, the focus position is at infinity. If you want to focus accurately, you can use the real-time display function to enlarge the LCD monitor screen and focus manually according to the enlarged detail definition, so that you can focus more accurately. Focusing ring at infinity is easy to cause focusing error, so it is not recommended.

Fifth point: Restrain the vibration caused by camera action.

Especially when shooting with telephoto lens, even the action of camera endoscope will become the cause of picture jitter. To suppress the action of the mirror, it is suggested to use real-time display to shoot. Because the real-time display shows that the reflector has risen in the shooting state, there is no bouncing vibration. In addition, the mute mode that makes the mirror quiet and the mirror pre-lift function that can lift the mirror before shooting are also very effective. It can also be released with a cable, and pressing the shutter button will not cause vibration.

Tip: Using PL-C circular polarization filter can get clearer picture quality.

Circular polarization filter is often used when taking landscape photos. It is a kind of filter that uses polarizing lens to bend light, which can make the sky bluer or the foreground clearer. In addition to the above effects, it can also inhibit the reflection of the water surface, so it is also very effective to shoot the lake. In addition to suppressing the disorderly reflection of light and improving the contrast of the picture, it can also filter out harmful reflected light and faithfully restore the tone of the subject. When using a wide-angle lens and a circular polarizing filter, in order to avoid dark corners, try to choose a polarizing filter with a thin frame. When choosing a polarizing filter in the market, be sure to choose the one with the same caliber as the lens in your hand.

When shooting natural scenery with many trees, sometimes the disorderly reflection of leaves on light will make the picture appear blurred. At this time, it will be very effective to use circularly polarized filters.
