picture editing challenges
text/Yang Lijun
Regarding picture editing, there have been many discussions and explorations in the era when paper media was booming. For example, Cartier-Bresson talked about the entanglement between magazines and photographers: "Magazines attract a large number of readers for us and introduce us to the public; magazines know how to report pictures according to the photographer's intention. Unfortunately, they sometimes misrepresent these pictures and reports, and there is dissatisfaction between editors and photographers.
has been engaged in editing work for many years and has established a good communication foundation with many authors. However, there is sometimes disagreement between authors and editors. Many photographers, out of love for magazines, carefully write sincere words and post photos that they are satisfied with. Unfortunately, they cannot pass the initial review by the editor, let alone the subsequent topic selection and argumentation by the editorial department, review by the deputy editor, and review by the chief editor. Final review and other aspects. Even if you pass the initial review, you may still get stuck in a certain link at any time. Even if it is published, it may be temporarily taken down; when some individuals go to the printing factory to start producing color samples, there may still be a risk of being replaced. Editing and processing is the main job of the editor, but some authors do not agree with the modifications and require repeated communication; some authors let the editor make modifications freely, but sometimes the pictures they want to publish are inconsistent with the ones selected by the editor, and whether the pictures are cropped, and whether they are large cross-page pictures. , the various small pictures inserted, and even the number of introductions, etc., are all communicated repeatedly during the exchanges between you and me.
Editing is a technical job, not only in the communication with the photographer, but also in the professionalism in the process of selecting pictures and publishing them. The editor must have a sharp eye, select appropriate works from the vast number of pictures, arrange dozens of works from thousands of photographers' works according to reasonable narrative logic, and select eye-catching works according to the layout requirements. The cross-page large picture, as well as the small pictures that echo the big picture, construct a relationship between the pictures, an image field. It is not enough to have a pair of discerning eyes. The editor must have a solid writing skills. He can not only edit and process the existing text, but also be able to write at any time. For a good manuscript, the editor's note is like the eyes of a dragon, which shows your skills. For academic publications, editors must also be familiar with the history and theory of photography, be able to quickly make judgments on submissions that are in line with academic values and academic standards, and be able to refine the highlights of the article and delete redundant parts. Revise.
With the advent of the era of integrated media, between two WeChat accounts and one official account, Douyin , and Kuaishou's short videos, picture editors have to practice various skills, how to make short videos, and how to intersperse videos. Static images, how to present the opening and ending of the film, what kind of sound to use, how to design the mobile phone reading format, how to control the number and size of pictures, and how to arrange text and pictures. Furthermore, how to balance between popularization and academicization, how to coordinate seriousness and intimacy, how to adapt to the characteristics of "multi-platform" image distribution and big data, how to make the experience accumulated in the past useful in the era of integrated media, Maintaining the consistent exquisite quality of paper media is another challenge facing every photo editor.
