Discussing framing and composition

Today in class we were discussing about how to frame and compose shots. These are some things that we are considering when shooting/filming for our music video. These are things to think about...

Composition:
To encompass or surround your subject with something else.

• Complementing central focal point of interest
• Centralise main focus which would ensure it demands attention
• Evenly distributed space either side of main focal point ---> this creates a sense of authority --> domination of frame ---> formal/authoritative
• Geometric/ reoccurring shapes
• Rule of thirds ---> object of interest
• Amount of empty space is balanced 
• Creates a sense of artistry to your work, more natural, less staged.
• Golden Ration: need to consider the composition 

Eyeline rule:

• eye position 1/3 way down 
• Following the rules creates a blanked shot
• Ensure there is head room
