First, choose the shooting location.
When shooting a stage performance, you should arrive at the scene in advance and make corresponding preparations. Television stations can use multiple cameras to shoot images at the same time, but recording the whole process with one camera requires familiarity with the shooting environment. Set the position close to the horizontal height of the actor's eyes as the main base point of shooting.
If you bring a wide-angle lens and telescope, you can shoot a stage performance without restraint. However, in the absence of similar lenses, we can observe the shooting range of the stage in the state of maximum reduction at the camera position, and then set the state of maximum magnification to observe the stage actors with maximum clarity.
Second, take the stage actors as the lens center.
Performers in the center of the stage can get relatively stable images by shooting stage performances with panoramic lenses. However, keeping the same lens angle from beginning to end will make the picture monotonous and lengthy. You can use the zoom-in and zoom-out function to adjust the picture appropriately, take a close-up shot of the performer and display the panoramic view of the stage.
If the performer's face is photographed continuously in the same position during the video recording of the stage performance, not only the picture is single, but also the interest of public performance will be reduced. Watching the performances on TV carefully not only captures the singer's front appearance, but also captures the singer's back, which vividly reflects the process of stage performance. When shooting a stage performance, don't sit in a certain position, but keep moving the distance and orientation. Photographers should adjust the distance between the lens and the stage and the shooting angle in various ways to change the size of the image and highlight the vitality of the stage.
Third, shoot the audience.
The video of stage performance does not necessarily capture only the stage performance scene. When performers leave or keep clapping, they can film the audience. The reaction of the audience can not only adjust the performance atmosphere, but also become the source of natural transition when editing the lens. In order to ensure the continuity of the performance and naturally shorten the time, it is necessary to film the audience's movements.
Fourth, the matters needing attention when shooting the performance
Adjust the white balance when shooting indoor performances, the white balance benchmark should be consistent with the stage lighting. Adjusting the white balance after the performance may lead to mental stress. It is best to check the lighting process before the performance, or adjust the white balance at the beginning of the performance before recording the image of the performance.
Recording is equally important.
In stage performances such as concerts or concerts, recording and impression effects can not be ignored. Directional microphone can eliminate the noise of the surrounding environment and is one of the most effective live recording methods. When you can use a wireless microphone, you can install a wireless microphone on the stage to record the crisp live sound. Setting a microphone near the impression will increase the noise, so the microphone should not be placed near the sound. The preparation and shooting process serves for post-editing and production, so we should always think about how to shoot the lens source to compile a video work.
