Different photography angles can convey different emotions. Today, we will talk about 12 kinds of photography angles commonly used in film shooting, hoping to add color to your film.

Why is the shooting angle important? first, the shooting angle is different, the audience's perception is also different, with the help of different lenses can help the audience understand the scene, have a more sense of substitution.

Second, different shooting angles can convey different emotions.

Third, there are many shooting angles, and there is more room for post-editing operation.

Twelve commonly used shooting angles are related to the proportion of the subject in the picture: large-range lens, long-range lens, mid-range lens, cowboy lens, close-up lens, large close-up lens; shots classified according to the relative position relationship between the camera and the subject: low angle, high angle, Dutch angle and over-shoulder lens, viewpoint / POV lens and cut-out lens.

A large long-range lens is usually shot with a wide-angle lens to show the relationship between the character and its surroundings, and can be used to express feelings such as loneliness and smallness.

Long lenses usually shoot from a distance with a short focal length, showing the whole body of the subject, but on the whole, the environment accounts for a large proportion.

The mid-range shot is usually shot up from the waist, allowing the audience to focus on what the subject is doing and saying, and because the mid-shot is closest to the distance of a normal conversation, it is also often used for interviews.

The cowboy shot gets its name because it is common in American western movies. It is somewhere between a long shot and a mid-shot shot, starting in the middle of the thigh. If you need to show the waist configuration of the subject, such as a gun, you can use this shot instead of a mid-range lens.

Close-ups usually only show the head and shoulders of the subject, mainly used to show the main expression in detail, can best stimulate the mood of the audience, close-ups are usually best shot with a focal length of about 50-100mm.

A large close-up is used to highlight a particular detail in the picture.

Low-angle shooting is used to show strength and a sense of dominance, giving people a silent sense of authority.

High photography angle is just the opposite, which magnifies the subject's sense of vulnerability.

The Dutch corner refers to a slight tilt of the picture, deviating from the level, usually giving the impression that something is moving in the wrong direction.

The over-the-shoulder lens refers to putting the camera behind the shoulder of one of the two people who are talking and the other on the foreground to make the audience feel that they are the one who is talking.

The POV or viewpoint shot shows what a character is looking at, allowing the audience to understand their mindset from the character's point of view. It is usually used in action or sports scenes to give the audience a sense of immersion.

To cut out a shot is to insert a completely irrelevant picture into a continuous scene, helping to transition to a new scene or to switch from the main storyline to another storyline.

Case analysis enhances emotional expression from various perspectives, which is helpful to tell a good story. Of course, a variety of sound effects, color adjustments and so on are generally used as auxiliary means in the film, but the photography angle is undoubtedly an important part of making this clip more cinematic. However, there is a certain degree of everything, and the more angles of photography, the better, depending on the emotion you are trying to express.

If we want to create the loneliness of the protagonist, let's take a look at the first form of photography, which contains multiple angles (close-up-medium-close-up-vision-cut-out-vision), which actually distracts the audience. It makes people feel very "busy", as if the subject is in a hurry, or he is late, but does not make people feel lonely.

The second time, we only use one photography angle-the big vision, except for the protagonist, the picture is completely empty. The audience is more focused on this picture, and the loneliness of the protagonist is also more obvious.

Photographic angle switching principle 001 180 °rule

For example, in this scene, there are two people talking, subject 1 on the left and subject 2 on the right. If you want to switch the picture back and forth between the two, you need to rotate 180 °along the same side, so that the positions of the two subjects in the shot are relative, and the audience will not feel confused.

But sometimes the 180 °rule does not apply, for example, when you shoot a concert or wedding scene, you usually only want to shoot from every angle, but even so, post-editing should follow the 180 °rule to ensure smooth and seamless editing.

002 30 °rule when switching between two angles of the same subject, such as an interview, you need to ensure that angle An and angle B are at least 30 degrees apart, and it is best to use different photography angles, such as cutting into a close-up from the midshot in front of the subject.
