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.
Image composition:
- Horizontal vs vertical format
- Subject placement (rule of thirds)
- Backgrounds
- Point of view
- Close-ups
Basic shot types:
- Extreme wide shot
- Very wide shot
- Wide shot
- Mid shot
- Medium close up
- Close up
- Extreme close up
Camera angle
The term camera angle means slightly different things to different people but it always refers to the way a shot is composed. Some people use it to include all camera shot types, others use it to specifically mean the angle between the camera and the subject. We will concentrate on the literal interpretation of camera angles, that is, the angle of the camera relative to the subject.
- Eye level
- High angle
- Low angle
- Extreme overhead
Video formats:
- AVI
