The film is the learning object of many photographers, and the so-called "film sense" is also the imitation target of many photography enthusiasts. The composition, color adjustment and narrative sense in the film can provide a lot of inspiration.

So what is "movie sense"? What is the principle behind it? How to make your photos feel like a movie? Let's briefly discuss this topic today.

When we compare film with photography, from a certain point of view, a film can be an image product created by countless photos and sounds, but each of these photos revolves around a major topic and is full of more narration. Color rendering is also more intense.

Then we can use the following techniques to make our photos feel "cinematic":

1. Technical imitation the so-called technical imitation is to make our photos look like a movie lens at a glance, so we can operate on the picture scale and subtitles.

Now the more popular film picture ratio is 2.39 (width: height), it can also be simply understood that the photo is more "wide", so it also needs to be adjusted in terms of composition.

The other is to imitate the film to add subtitles at the bottom of the photo to enrich the content of the photo and create a sense of dialogue at the same time.

two。 Multiple stitching to enhance the film sense on the basis of technical imitation can be achieved through the stitching of multiple photos. The stitching of multiple photos will give people the feeling of the number of frames in the movie, and at the same time, the stitched photos can better show the sense of story.

It should be noted that the picture proportion, content and tone of the photo need to be consistent.

3. If the emotional theme wants to show the "movie sense" through the photo, we need to work hard on the emotion. when shooting, we need to consider that the theme of the photo needs to revolve around emotion. for this reason, we can express our emotions by highlighting the expressions and actions of the characters in the picture. we can also render the atmosphere by depicting emotional objects and light.

Environment portrays emotion

Characters' movements, expressions, etc., depict emotions. Compared with photography, the color of the film is more intense than photography, in order to better render the atmosphere, we can also learn this when we make post-color adjustment of our photos. It is suggested that we should make good use of the tool of separating tone. Pay special attention to the adjustment of the shadow part.

Contrast color separation tone: highlight orange-red, shadow dark cyan

Separate tones of the same color system: highlights and shadows are recommended to imitate the classical color matching or the ready-made tones in the movie at the beginning, and then create creatively after being skilled.

5. Special skills movies also have some special techniques that can also be used in photography, but they are not suitable for all photos, such as adding dark corners, but they are not very suitable for bright scenes. Dark themes can be tried.

Empty shots, that is, shots with no clear meaning and no clear subject, are generally used to explain the background and switch shots, but if the photos are imitated blindly, they will appear to be lack of theme and do not know what to say, so it is recommended to be used with photo stitching.

Here is just a brief introduction to some skills, but simple imitation is still lack of soul, want their own photos to have a "movie sense", the most important thing is to learn to dig the story behind the photos, more practice and more feelings.
