Shooting equipment: mobile phone
This is currently the most commonly used and most convenient device for short video shooting.
● Advantages: Shoot casually, easy to carry, easy to operate, can shoot anytime, anywhere, quickly edit and publish in real time
● Disadvantages: The pixels are much lower than professional equipment, the shooting quality is not high, noise is prone to occur, and hand shaking is prone to cause violent video shakes, post-processing restrictions and lack of integration and optimization functions.
Mobile phone auxiliary equipment: stabilizer, fill light, external lens, etc.
Handheld gimbal, selfie stick, automatic rotator, etc.
gimbal : There are many gimbals on the market. You can choose the ones with high cost-effectiveness, easy operation, Bluetooth connection, and download the corresponding software. Equipped with professional handheld gimbal, it can avoid problems such as picture shaking caused by hand shaking.
Fill light: Whether it is shooting, recording, or live broadcasting, fill light can be seen everywhere. It can adjust the light of various scenes to make the entire picture appear more natural.
lens: This is relatively rarely used, because the current mobile phone configuration is basically sufficient. If you need to use some special scenes, you can consider adding an external lens to make the picture texture more prominent.
Shooting equipment: SLR camera
SLR camera is also a very commonly used shooting device. Novices can also buy it if they have the conditions. Each brand on the market has its own advantages and disadvantages. After all, the lens price is not low. For mobile phones, the shooting effect of SLR will definitely be much better.
● Advantages: The picture is more realistic, has many functions, and has strong adjustment capabilities. Compared with ordinary mobile phones and cameras, the shooting effect is more unique. At the same time, the lens can be changed at any time according to shooting needs.
● Disadvantages: high price, difficult to carry, difficult to operate
SLR auxiliary equipment: stabilizer, fill light, lens, etc. (close to mobile phones, but the operability of the equipment is also improved)
Shooting equipment: camera
This is a relatively professional short video recording equipment, also available for home and commercial use. Compared with mobile phones and SLRs, they are less used in daily shooting.
● Advantages of the commercial camera
: It is convenient to shoot and does not require complicated parameter settings. It is equipped with independent aperture, shutter and white balance settings for shooting.
Disadvantages: The picture quality is not as good as that of a SLR, and most cameras are too large, which is quite uncomfortable for photographers. In addition, the price is also high.
● Home camera: You can choose one that is relatively small and convenient, easy to operate, can meet shooting needs, and has high overall clarity and stability, suitable for scenes that require long-term recording.
Shooting skills
The previous article mentioned the five-word rule of shooting skills. This article focuses on its meaning
In the process of shooting videos, lens language is also very critical, so the corresponding shooting techniques: push, pull, shake, move, and follow, are the most appropriate basic camera movements.
● Push: When shooting from the front, push the device forward to move the lens in a straight line. This is suitable for scenes that change from large to small, and can better separate the subject from the environment.
● Pull: Just the opposite of push. When shooting from the front, you pull the device backward to move the lens in a straight line, showing the subject from near to far, from part to the whole of the shooting scene. Similar to the process of pulling, the subject will gradually become smaller as the distance becomes farther and farther. This pull lens places special emphasis on the relationship between the subject and the shooting environment.
● Shake: Shake is not an irregular shaking of the device. Instead, the position of the device does not move. It is just a change in the shooting angle. For example, when shooting with a gimbal, the shooting direction can be left or right, up and down, or tilted or rotated.
● Shift: Shift refers to moving horizontally in various directions when shooting. It is best to configure a pan/tilt for mobile shooting. The requirements for shooting actions are relatively high. Mobile shooting can produce a visual effect of patrolling or displaying. For example, when the subject is in motion, using mobile shooting can produce a following visual effect on the screen.
● Follow: Follow refers to following shooting, that is, the shooting device always follows the subject when shooting, such as automatic follow during aerial photography, the subject will always be in the shooting screen.
In addition to the above-mentioned five-character rule shooting techniques, there are also shooting techniques such as swinging, shaking, rotating, and lifting. These will be described later.
