1. A method for hot forming a semifinished product in sheet form for a motor vehicle component, the method comprising
heating the semifinished product to be formed in a heating process, wherein during the heating process the semifinished product undergoes an input of heat from at least one heat source; and
forming the heated semifinished product in a shaping forming process, wherein
during the heating of the semifinished product, at least one shielding device is arranged between the heat source and the semifinished product, such that the semifinished product is thermally shielded at least in certain portions in such a way that a first semifinished-product portion is heated differently than a second semifinished-product portion, and
at least one surface of a first shielding device directly contacts a surface other than that of the semifinished product.
