How to take good photos of conference themes, summary of conference photography and videography experience

1. Preparation work before photography

First of all, you need to understand the content of the meeting in advance, and conduct an on-site inspection of the size of the venue, lighting conditions, location of the guest of honor, and your own shooting location, etc., in order to make a draft Decide what you want to photograph. Prepare the necessary camera equipment and fully charge the DV battery the day before the meeting.

2. Introduce the content through the lens

Photograph the content of the meeting. The content of the meeting includes six elements: time, place, people, the beginning, the process and the end of the meeting. This is what we are doing. You need to pay special attention when shooting. Before the meeting starts, you can take photos of some meeting background materials, such as the layout outside the venue.

When photographing the time, location, and participants of the meeting, you need to pay attention to:

Time. Generally, cameras have a time recording function. Turn this function on when shooting. If you feel that the time display alone cannot explain the problem, you can also add commentary during post-production.

To determine the location, you can first go outside the venue to take pictures of banners and other promotional slogans, which can express the content of the meeting.

Participants should arrive in advance on the day of the meeting and take photos of important guests signing in. Important guests sometimes go to the VIP room to rest before the meeting. At this time, it is necessary to take pictures of the guests shaking hands and talking.

3. Photography work before the start

Before the meeting starts, first take pictures of the overall layout of the venue (including a panoramic view of the rostrum and a panoramic view of the venue), and then take a photo of the host announcing the start of the meeting .A picture of all participants applauding. When shooting, the picture changes should be slow to highlight the serious atmosphere of the venue.

4. Photography work in progress

Photography work after the meeting starts is very important. The people participating in the meeting should be the key subjects to be photographed. For important speakers, full-body or half-body close-ups should be used, and when shooting, try to keep the camera facing the important speakers. This requires special attention. We also need to film other people who are speaking. This is not only out of respect for the participants, but also to capture the complete meeting. Another thing is to take pictures of the audience listening to the lecture, because only pictures of the speaker will make the conference video record look very empty.

5. Photography work at the end

At the end of the meeting, you should first turn the camera to the podium, and then turn the camera to the audience who stood up to applaud. The panorama has a certain level of grasp. Finally, the participants were photographed at the exit, and the meeting was ended with a "gradient to black" screen change. At the end of some meetings, there will be an event where the main leaders receive the guests. In this case, you should arrive at the reception event immediately after taking pictures of the last speaker and make preparations for shooting in advance. When taking photos, make sure to capture the image of the guest of honor. The theme of the meeting is clear, the priority of the meeting is clear, and a perfect shooting record is completed.
