Video recording of the presentation! Points to keep in mind when photographing orchestras and brass bands

Points to keep in mind when photographing orchestras and brass bands! Leave the video recording of the presentation to us!

When videographing a recital such as an orchestra or brass band, the overall composition is the key. Shoot with an awareness of the balance between the top, bottom, left and right so that there is no unnecessary blank space. It's also a good idea to angle it instead of looking straight at it.

When shooting videos of recitals such as orchestras and brass bands, let's think about the overall composition!

Videography is also indispensable for stage recitals such as orchestras, brass bands, and piano concerts.

However, since the subject of the photograph is not only people but also musical instruments, and a large number of people, photographic techniques are required. The trick to shooting a video for a presentation is to compose the whole thing. Here are some of the key points.

Things to keep in mind when photographing a specific person

For example, if there is a specific person to be photographed at a brass band recital, do you place the person in the center of the video? For solo parts and other shows, the person tends to be shown in a large center of the screen.

However, when you actually shoot it, you end up with a "not very good-looking" image.

The key to composition is the orientation of the subject and the balance between the subject and the instrument.

If you put the person in the center and take a picture from the side, the space on the left and right sides of the screen will be unbalanced.

For example, a piano player is facing the piano, so I tend to take pictures from the side. And if you put the figure in the center, there will be space on the back side.

In this case, it is better to shoot the person in the center but at an angle. It fills up the screen space and creates a three-dimensional effect. In particular, when videographing a performance recital such as an orchestra or brass band, it is necessary to be able to clearly show the movement of "playing an instrument". By shifting the angle, the video will be of higher quality if you can also see your hand.

Another way is to shift the center to the piano side. The screen is filled with people and a piano, and by placing them in a well-balanced manner, you can create a "good composition" and take a realistic image. If you try to fit all the large instruments such as the piano on the screen, the characters will be too small, so balance is important. In the case of a piano, the key to creating a beautiful composition is to focus on the keyboard and capture it on the screen.

Points to note when shooting with "pull" as a whole 1

If you want to take a picture so that you can see the whole picture, check the safety area.

A safety area is a video area where you can watch the video recording without any problem on any display device.

There are two areas of safety areas.

Action-safe

The range of the screen reduced by 90% from the entire top, bottom, left and right. Outside this range may not be seen by the display device.

Title Safety

The range of the screen reduced by 80% from the entire top, bottom, left and right. Character information should be kept within this range.

It is recommended to shoot within a certain margin so that you do not end up with a beautiful shot, but when you show it on TV, it cuts off.

When shooting with a pull, you need to pay attention to the balance between the top and bottom. When you think about balance, you may end up with superfluous things, but if you're not sure what to prioritize, it's better to focus on balance.

If you look closely, even if there are things you don't need, the impression when you look at them at a glance is different. It is important to look for a better composition and be aware of a well-balanced shot.

When you watch a recital such as an orchestra or brass band, you tend to focus on the person you want to see, such as the performer. But when it comes to videography, it's more about the overall composition than focusing on the person you want to see.

If there is a specific target audience, there will be no wasted blank space when considering the balance between the target audience and the instrument.

Let's also be aware of the balance between the top and bottom. In addition, if you think about displaying it on other devices such as TVs, and project a wider range than what you actually want to see on TV, you can put it in the "safety area".

Composition is an important aspect of the quality of the footage, but it's not easy to shoot with everything in mind. Presentations are not frequent, so there may be many things that you are not used to.
