Long Lens


Usually, documentary film is using long lens. Everything is happening in front of you and you will not know when it ends, that’s why we need long lens and keep shooting. However, using long lens effectively does not mean following everything like a fly. A dedicated shooter should know how to choose the right thing to shoot and adjusting position, composition and view depends on motion, emotion and how thing change. Knowing the person’s feeling helps the shooter to get a better shot. The long shots in documentary always shock the audience through the actual time it toke which could not be achieved by final cutting. Sometimes it is necessary to abandon shooting technique to make a complete long shot. For example how to use auto-focusing instead of manual-focusing to avoid defocus. For my project, shots usually taken on the sea, many shots will be unstable and I need to practice more about that.
