This week, I will be explaining shot composition and how they can make a scene look visually more
interesting than others.
Composition is the placement of objects
in the frame. The frame is what you see, what you are recording in
the video monitor.
Some compositions are badly arranged
and look unappealing.
While others are well-balanced and look
appealing.
The key to obtaining a well-framed shot
can be narrowed down to three things:
1. Headroom and/or Leadroom
Headroom is the space above a person's
head that allows the top to not be cut off by the frame and make the
person look weird.
Leadroom is the space you leave in
front of the direction in which the character is looking or moving.
The more leadroom the easier for camera operators to follow action.
2. Rule of Thirds
A way of framing your shot where you
divide your shot into thirds and use the intersections in a grid to
place interesting elements for a balanced picture. It helps you
create a dynamic picture without placing your subject in the middle.
Framing a character's eyes in the upper
line is more pleasing.
3. Depth of Field
Deep space composition. Important
information is placed in the areas of the frame.
a. Foreground
b. Middleground
c. Background
These are some techniques to use to
make the framing of your shot look more appealing and interesting.
But there are many more out there to discover.
