Many people will associate film with photography, and many people like photography under the influence of movies. There are indeed some similarities between the two.

Although they are presented in different ways, they can all show the photographer's ideas through the lens language, and many people like to imitate the feeling of the film in photography, making the photos have a "cinematic feeling", such as photographers Daniel Hedquist, Franck Bohbot, Francisco Marin and so on.

Photographer Francisco Marin's work is like a screenshot of a movie, full of color, atmosphere and tension.

Today, I'll give you a few tips to make your photos feel like a movie:

1. Photo scale setting the current popular film picture ratio is 2.39, which is wider than the photos we usually take. This special ratio is one of the key points in shaping the "movie sense".

Let's compare it with a picture:

Photos that are close to the proportion of the movie picture seem to be more cinematic.

However, it should be noted that this horizontal slenderness ratio tests the composition more, because it is difficult to show the whole picture through height, we should pay attention to the presentation effect of the subject in the picture, and avoid too many irrelevant messy elements in the horizontal direction.

Several photographers we have exemplified above have adopted the way of stitching photos to show photos, on the one hand, it can enhance the film effect and make the photos feel like a frame, on the other hand, it is also more suitable for mobile phone to read pictures. We can also learn from this.

two。 Air sense the light and shadow effect of many films has a unique taste, just like film photos, there is little pure black, and the shadow part has a gray feeling, this effect is "air feeling".

This sense of air can make our photos feel retro and gentle, and it can also enhance the sense of atmosphere. Combined with the content of our previous issues, this is the low-key approach to the middle tone in the picture and reduce the contrast.

To achieve this effect, while reducing the contrast of the screen, we can appropriately increase the shadows and black levels, and at the same time increase the leftmost side of the curve in the curve tool to make the pure black disappear.

If we want to enhance the sense of retro and atmosphere, we can also add dark corners and a sense of graininess to the picture.

3. Color and light some cinematic photos will choose strong colors and darker pictures, which can enhance the atmosphere of the picture and give people a sense of time solidification and emotional flow.

However, the stronger the color, the better, and the lower the exposure, the better. when we operate, we can use the separated hue tool (color grading) to choose the appropriate color for it combined with the theme of the picture. enhance the atmosphere of the picture by rendering the picture in a high, medium and low-key way

In the light and shadow part, we can slightly reduce the brightness on the basis of normal exposure.

4. The sense of story is all related to technology, and the sense of story here is the soul of cinematic photos.

The sense of story is to feel the story from the picture, rather than empty, so it is best to have a clear subject and a "decisive moment".

From this point of view, street photography is more in line with the sense of film, there is a story, the sense of narrative will be more obvious.
