How to take a group photo at a conference

1. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the types and forms of large-scale meetings. It is a government conference or a business summit or an exhibition or a new product launch conference or a forum or something else. General formal meeting formats such as government meetings, summits, etc. are a common practice, and the overall characteristics are formal, full-length, and re-shooting without re-shooting; while other forms of large-scale meetings are generally characterized by informal, half-length, re-shooting, and more re-shooting , temporality and plurality.

2. Secondly, whether it is a formal meeting or an informal meeting, you must first pay attention to shooting. That is to say, you need to set up a shooting logic for your entire shooting process.

(1) Logic 1: Panoramic photography is essential. Regardless of formal or informal meetings, panoramic photography is necessary, that is, focus photography of the conference theme, entrance of all participants/important ceremonies such as signatures, interactive activities, oaths, etc./full participation status, etc.

(2) Logic 2: Venue atmosphere. Any large-scale meeting is indispensable for some slogans, scene layout, etc., which need to be kept close-up.

(3) Logic 3: The key link of the meeting - focus shooting. The process of the entire meeting must be familiar, so the meeting agenda is essential. What are the important nodes of the meeting need to be marked in advance. Understand the time range of these nodes, agenda content, participants (including some basic information of the participants, such as their social status, qualifications, etc.). In these sessions, it is necessary to take close-ups of the meeting participants and shoot the entire content of the node in order to facilitate later editing and refine the key points.

In focus photography, people are the focus, and all shots need to zoom in on the participants in this session!

(4) Logical thinking four: Group photo shooting. Generally, there will be a group photo taken at the end of the conference so that the participants can take photos as a souvenir. It can also be used by the conference organizer and co-organizers to promote themselves in the future.

Again, pay attention to division of labor and collaboration. In general, the shooting of large-scale conferences involves a lot of work in addition to the scene, theme, conference narrator, focus sessions, and group photos. In the meantime, there will also be a way to combine photography with photography. For shooting with more than 100 people, at least 2-3 people can be used to complete it.

Finally, focus on focus photography. Generally, the split-screen display method of real-time photography will be used in important parts or climax parts of meetings. In this case, instead of rigidly filming the narrator all the time, it is sometimes necessary to indirectly touch on the theme of the venue, the atmosphere of the venue, or the state of the participants.
