The level of use of a crane camera in a show depends largely on the communication between the cameraman and the director. Before recording a program, the crane camera personnel must fully communicate with the director about the program recording process, and be familiar with the content of the recorded program in advance, and design the shots that require the use of a crane in the program recording, so that the crane camera technology can be fully utilized. produce the best effect. For large-scale TV programs or live programs recorded in the studio, it is also necessary to practice all lens uses as much as possible according to the program requirements during the program rehearsal process.
1. Application of crane camera technology in concert programs
At present, two crane cameras are often used in general concerts. One is placed in front of the stage and is mainly used to shoot the singers on the stage; the other is mainly used to shoot the audience reaction shots at the scene. In order to capture various exciting shots of the singers on the stage to the greatest extent, the rocker equipment in front of the stage should be as close to the entrance of the stage as possible and placed on both sides of the main stage; moreover, the rocker arm can better break through the base unit in this case Due to the limitations of shooting, the wonderful moments of the live performers can be captured in all directions.
In actual shooting, the crane camera operators should also try their best to use the on-site environment, such as on-site scenery, light stands, etc., to cover up the impact of the huge crane equipment on other camera lenses, and try not to affect the audience's line of sight.
2. Application of crane camera technology in sports programs
There are cranes on the market for various types of sports programs. For example, the German ABC large crane is specially designed for shooting football matches, while the British Polecam is mainly suitable for shooting small skill sports programs.
When shooting sports programs, crane camera technology can capture dynamic shots of athletes during competition, allowing the audience to feel the fierce atmosphere of the competition. The newly launched British Polecam crane can break through the original camera position and shoot athletes closely to highlight their sports characteristics. In addition, since different sports have different movement characteristics, the crane camera operators should also be familiar with the characteristics of various sports, so that the characteristics of different sports can be vividly displayed in front of the audience.
Different sports events use different camera positions. Take football as an example. Generally, the crane camera used to shoot football matches should be placed at a 45-degree angle behind the goal. This is because there are great restrictions on placing cameras in football fields. Football games stipulate that cameras cannot be placed in many places. The arm can only be placed behind the goal to capture the scene, so the sports shots shown to the audience are all shots taken from behind the goal. For sports with smaller sports spaces, such as basketball and volleyball, you can use the Polecam small rocker to capture the athletes' style.
3. Application of rocker technology in talk shows
Compared with other TV program types, talk shows are relatively simple. In talk shows, the cutting is mainly based on fixed camera positions, and the crane camera lens is mainly used for shooting panoramic motion to increase the sense of presence and visibility. Generally, in talk shows, the rocker equipment is placed at a 45-degree angle to the stage entrance.
Given the slow pace of talk shows, crane camera lenses are not suitable for large movements.
4. Application of crane camera technology in information films, image films and TV series
Crane camera technology is often used in information films introducing companies, such as introducing the size of the company and its products. This type of subject matter can give full play to the strengths of the crane. For example: when it is required to use a continuous shot to show the panoramic view of the workshop, the assembly line in the workshop, the work content of the workers, and the mental outlook of the workers, it is necessary to use crane camera technology. First, shoot the facial expressions of the workers while working from a low angle, then pan the camera from the face to the working hands, and then use the principle of depth perspective to achieve the picture of two people working by swinging the arm (towards the upper left or upper right). The picture of three people working... the picture of a row of workers working, and then gradually raising the rocker arm, the picture gradually changed from one assembly line to two assembly lines, until the whole workshop was panoramic.
Crane camera technology is used more and more in TV series, especially in recent years. Every TV series or even every episode of TV series will have traces of the crane. The techniques of its performance are roughly as follows:
(1) Use of long lenses
For example, take a picture of a person walking: first focus on a person (close-up view), then gradually raise and pull the rocker arm away, so that the effect of a person walking on a street appears, showing that there is a small figure walking on the entire street. Move around.
(2) Tracking shooting
Tracking shooting refers to tracking and shooting moving subjects within a certain shooting range. Tracks can also be laid when necessary. If you want to shoot a car driving from a distance, parked at the entrance of a hotel, and two people walking out and walking towards the hotel lobby, the use of crane camera technology is the most expressive and can make the scene complete in one go.
