Reborn next door twins first grow up

Chapter 21 Who is that "Senior Brother"?
"The shots we wanted to shoot were simple."

In order to complete the final homework and plan to shoot a promotional video for the football team, the first-year advertising students of the 05th grade gathered in front of the camera, because one shot still failed to meet the standard, and fell into a situation where they could not do anything.

"It's just a character, along this corridor, from beginning to end, medium and close-up frontal shots, we don't even need the whole part, just a few seconds of it."

But it was precisely this clip that stumped this group of young men who had been learning photography all semester.

"It's just a follow-up camera." Wang Xue'ai, captain of the women's football team, is also a student of the School of Journalism and Communication.At Binhai Normal University, photography and videography are compulsory courses for journalism, advertising, educational technology and other majors, so Wang Xueai is no stranger to basic photography and videography skills and terms.

Wang Xueai touched the back of the camera screen and thought: "You stand in front of the model, follow the character, and then you back up at the same speed. It should be easy to take the shot."

"At first, we also thought that it could be done by individuals, but the actual effect..." A boy who studied advertising forced a smile, "Sister Xiaoai, let's take a look, here are all the scrapped clips we shot .”

Turning on the viewfinder screen of the old-fashioned JVC camcorder and calling up the recording and playback lens, Wang Xueai frowned more and more.

Li Zhaohui pulled Wang Hailong and Lu Man closer and glanced at them.

"It's too shaky." Without the need for Wang Xueai, a news academy, Li Zhaohui, as a pure layman, could see the abnormality. "When the picture jitters, people are blurred."

"Because the character is walking, we have to move our feet when shooting with the camera." The boy from the advertising department explained, "When one foot moves, the whole body is also affected, and there is no way to maintain a stable shooting state."

The indoor light is dark, and the camera is opened with a large aperture and a slow shutter speed. In this state, even slight vibrations will appear extremely violent.

So the picture taken is like the perspective of a myopic drunk who has drunk too much.

Wang Xueai thought for two seconds: "Have you used the hugging position?"

"I have used it. I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs run. I often see people using this on TV. But we don't have that kind of professional control level, and the shots are still shaking and blurry."

"Unless you borrow more professional slide rails."

"The slide rail was borrowed by Director Dong, and it is not in the school, and it may not be easy for us undergraduates to borrow it."

Gu Jiaer curiously poked the back of Luman's waist: "Brother, what is a hug position?"

Lu Man was staring at the camera and the tripod: "It is to clamp the camera under the armpit or in the arms with one hand, and hold the lens in front of the fuselage with the other hand. With the method of lowering the center of gravity of the whole body, the camera can be operated more stably."

Wang Xueai was a little surprised, and looked in Lu Man's direction: "That's right."

It is not uncommon for ordinary high school students from wealthy families to buy a SLR camera and learn some photography skills.

But this kind of camcorder is at least a professional equipment starting at [-] to [-] bare metal.Although the students of their journalism school always complain that the old-fashioned JVC camera is too heavy and complicated, and the imaging effect is mediocre, most TV stations still use this kind of equipment, which is not something that can be used at home.

"I can't blame you for this. Experience is accumulated. To be honest, photography is both a technical job and a physical job." Wang Xueai comforted.

The teachers of the college can carry the machine on their shoulders for an hour without tiring or shaking, and hold the machine in their arms and move sideways to take pictures without shaking at all.This is the kung fu and skill that have been honed through years of long-term shooting.

It would be too unrealistic for students to achieve this standard in a short period of time.

"If it doesn't work, just change the camera." Wang Xueai suggested, "The effect is not good, but there is no other way."

Panning the camera is to fix the camera in one place. With the movement of the object being photographed, the lens will shake at an angle and range. The captured clips are stable but lose the sense of movement.

Lu Man looked at the camera. He is not a journalism major, but fortunately, he has worked in a big enough company and met all kinds of people. With more experience, his knowledge will come up.

When shooting vlogs inside the company, someone cut out a large foam board for the stability of the mobile phone shooting, and put the mobile phone in, so that when shooting with the foam board, the larger the volume of the same quality, the more stable it is with both hands.

In order to take similar shots, some people tie a tile under the video camera, then apply some detergent, and slide it directly on the ground...

"slip?"

Lu Man looked back and forth between the camera and the tripod: "Camera, slide, slide..."

He suddenly said, "Miss Ai, who owns that bag of fruit?"

"Ah? Lu Man, you called me?" Ni Xiaoyu's vague voice came, she was biting a banana, and she was holding the fruit bag in her hand.

"It's just right, don't throw away the banana peel in Sister Ni's hand, it's best that you get rid of two more..."

"What what?"

Ni Xiaoyu didn't know why, but she still swallowed the banana in one gulp, and handed the peel to Lu Man.

"Sister Ai, try putting a banana peel under the tripod, and then push the camera to slide slowly."

As soon as the words were finished, Wang Xueai and the advertising freshmen were collectively dumbfounded.

"Senior brother, don't be joking." Someone retorted, "Such an outrageous thing—banana peel, how could you have such an idea..."

Wang Xueai stomped on the floor tiles under her feet, the marble ones had a certain degree of smoothness: "Wait, this crazy idea sounds outrageous, but maybe it will be really useful."

"No way..."

"Is this all right?"

Waiting is worse than doing it, Wang Xueai stroked the pink hairband on his head, and as Lu Man said, crouched down and put the banana peel under the tripod.

"Xiao Yu eats two more bananas. Those of you filming, put the camera on the tripod and fix it."

After a flurry of work.

A few advertising boys hold the long tripod of the camera from all directions in fear.

"Do you really want to try that?"

"It's outrageous, it's outrageous... Put banana peels under the machine... Is this a solution that people on earth can think of..."

After the character actor was in position again, after an "action", everyone slowly pushed the camera and tripod, following the actor's pace.

"stop!"

"Look at the effect of the finished product."

Press the playback button.

"Fuck!"

"Shocked!"

"No shaking at all!"

"Still silky smooth!"

The students who took this shot with their own hands couldn't believe their own eyes.

"Is this the effect of three banana peels?"

"I think it's even comparable to professional slide rails..."

While the boys in advertising were excited, Wang Xueai waved to the team members: "It's settled, let's retreat quickly."

She put two fingers together and pointed at Lu Man: "Especially you, classmate Lu Man."

"If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will be left for another drink today by the students of the School of Journalism."

"Hey, wait, Miss Ai!" A boy from advertising school tried to stop the team members, but the practicer ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I want to ask, who is the brother who gave us advice just now..."
