What is Composition? Placement and arrangement of visual elements
Rule of Thirds- Divides your viewfinder into 3rds. Helps with composition.
Camera Shots/Angles-
1. Wide Shot- Establishing shot- 1st shot used in an edit.
2. Medium Shot- Framed waist up- used in newscasts.
3. Close up- Framed stomach or chest up- closer than a medium shot
4. Extreme-Close Up- Face shot- fills the whole frame
Head Room- Used to describe space at top of head & frame
Nose Room- Space in front of stationary (not moving) subject
Lead Room- Space in front of moving subject (leaving space in front of car or motorcycle, basketball player, ect...)
Two Shot- Two people in frame at the same time
Three Shot- Three people in frame at the same time
Over the Shoulder- " also know as OTS"- Camera is filming over the shoulder of the person talking to your subject
