In the film and television production profession, most cameramen are halfway monks. Because they have not systematically studied the film and television photography production skills, it is difficult to meet the requirements for the pictures taken, which directly affects the film quality and customer experience, and also questions the professional impression of the film and television production company. What are the common problems in film and television pictures?

1. About picture level

When taking pictures, the level of objects in the picture is not handled well, which will cause skew. The solution is: take the frame of the image finder of the camera as the reference object. When taking a front photo of an object, the horizontal line of the object is parallel to the upper and lower edges of the image finder, or the vertical line of the object is parallel to the left and right edges of the image finder; When taking side photos, the vertical line of the object is parallel to the left and right sides of the image finder.

2. About mixed light color temperature regulating film

In a single light, we all know how to adjust the color temperature film; However, under mixed light sources, especially when there are both outdoor light and iodine tungsten light, how to adjust the color temperature film, whether to use color temperature film 1 (3200K) or color temperature film 3 (6400k) is a difficult problem often encountered by many novice photographers. The solution is: 1. Add iodine tungsten lamp light source and take photos with color temperature sheet 1 (3200K). 2. When there is no condition to add iodine tungsten lamp light source, use color temperature sheet 1 (3200K) and color temperature sheet 3 (6400k) for white balance conditioning respectively. The correct color temperature sheet is the one with normal white balance conditioning.

3. About the circulation of Pan lens

The problems often occur when novice photographers pan with cameras on their shoulders: first, the pan road is wavy and the picture fluctuates up and down; Second, panning is not circulating, fast, slow or intermittent. The solutions to these two problems are as follows: 1. After standing with the camera on your shoulder, do not move your hands when taking pictures, and pan with your waist as the axis. 2. 2. Control range, panning within 180 degrees. 3. When panning, the front and rear speed of waist rotation shall be consistent, and it is forbidden to be fast and slow.

4. About the clarity of the picture

When some cameramen take pictures, the subject is vague, which is mainly due to the lack of focusing skills. Solution: the starting and falling range of the telephoto shake lens is different, and the falling range is easy to be vague. At this time, first push the lens close-up, focus clearly, then swing it to the appropriate position, start the camera, and then push it forward, so that it will not be vague when pushed to the close-up. When the starting and falling range of the telephoto pan lens is different, you should first focus the falling range clearly, and then start the camera. The method is to use your left finger to clamp the orientation on the lens. When the falling range is far, use your middle finger and when the falling range is close, use your thumb (because one end of the middle finger is far focal length and one end of the thumb is near focal distance. Then, after the starting and focusing is clear, and focus while shaking, Until you shake it to the falling position, you just focus and reach the position where your fingers are stuck, and the falling is clear. Sometimes the object pushed up is clear, but the surrounding environment is vague after being placed. One possibility is that the rear focus ring is loose and out of position, and it can be adjusted and fixed again; Another possibility is that the fine-tuning is adopted when taking photos at an ultra close distance. At this time, the fine-tuning can be reset.

5. About the stability of the picture

Many beginners who take pictures of enterprise promotional films often have large vibration and poor stability. Take the correct camera posture: the center of gravity of the camera falls on the shoulder, keep the camera in a balanced position, hold the machine handle with the right hand and the lens with the left hand; When standing, stand straight, avoid leaning forward or backward, and keep your feet parallel to your shoulder width; When squatting, put your feet one in front and one behind, and lean your hips against one heel. Breathe evenly or hold your breath when taking pictures.

In film and television production companies, cameramen are an indispensable and demanding existence. As long as they take high-level pictures, they can ensure the quality of post production and film. Therefore, cameramen should constantly improve their professional level, which is very important for film and television production companies and their own development.
