FS3006 Week 3

Lesson 3 Production

Framing & Composition: The frame is the picture you see in the viewfinder (or on a monitor). Composition refers to the layout of everything within a picture frame — what the subject is, where it is in the frame, which way it's facing/looking, the background, the foreground, lighting, etc.

Framing is the technique of drawing attention to the subject of your image by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene.

The term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed.
