Opinion: All the popular videos we see on the Internet or on TV are basically staged.

For those who understand film language and those who do not, they have two different mentality when watching Li Ziqi’s video.

People who don’t understand the language of movies will feel that this little life is too pleasant when they watch Li Ziqi’s video. Pastoral, life is like poetry, relaxed and comfortable; however, for those who understand For those who understand film language, you can tell at a glance that this little girl is not simple. The difficulty of shooting such a video is far from as easy and comfortable as shown in the video.

An important criterion for judging the quality of video shooting is actually this: Ordinary viewers cannot tell that you are staged and think it is all real life, then your work is considered a success. ?

Take the picture above as an example. What we see is the content of the entire camera lens, and the picture is only that big. You can see that basically the character already occupies about half of the space in the picture. If Li Ziqi takes two steps back or stands up at this time, the picture we see will not be complete, only half of it will be left. Physically, that would definitely be uncomfortable for the audience.

At this time, Li Ziqi is required to keep herself in the camera frame at all times. However, you have to know that in real life, we don’t need to fix our position. We can move around whenever we want and get up when we want. This is the difference between reality and video.

Furthermore, during the shooting process, you must first think about what to shoot, the scene, etc., where the specific characters will appear, what actions they will make, and what they will say (although Li Ziqi does not speak), This is all something to think about in advance. From this perspective, this kind of behavior is called "posing for photos".

Similarly, the same is true for Li Ziqi’s cooking process. The reason why your video looks so good is because it was staged. This is actually easy to verify. If you don’t believe it, you can just find someone to take pictures of your cooking process, or put your phone in a certain position and see if you can take pictures at this level.

Just like when you post a selfie on Moments, in most cases, you have to pose. This is actually a type of staged photo, but what they are posing for is a video. You It's just a staged picture.

However, we must distinguish one concept, that is, "staging" and "faking" are completely different things, which is easily confused by many viewers.

Staging is mainly to present better picture quality to the audience through specific shooting angles and make the audience more comfortable to watch. It is not to deceive the audience; however, "faking" is completely to deceive the audience. There is an essential difference between the two purposes.

So, I still hope that everyone can have a good attitude when watching these things. Staging is mainly to show real scenes through different perspectives, while fakes are to deceive the audience and deliberately show certain scenes. Picture or scene.
