Framing and Composition

Today in this lesson, we touched upon framing and composition; mostly focusing on rule of thirds.
The rule of thirds is a guideline which is applied to the process of composing visual images. When using the rule of thirds, you need to bear in mind that the purpose of it is to intersect the part of the image that you want into one of the nine equal parts.
Also when using the rule of thirds, the eyeline rule is very important as the eyes have to be a 1/3 of the way down in the shot and there must be enough headroom. This is why the lines in the rule of thirds play an important role; especially diagonal lines as when we view things that are diagonal, we are automatically drawn to where the line is leading to.

Framing and composition as a whole is key when shooting a film/music video as different frames and ways of composing a shot makes the piece more diverse and pleasing to the eye. Some things to consider when shooting for us are going to be high and low angle shots, viewpoint, audience, and diagonal lines.
