RULE OF THIRDS

Centering your subject is less interesting

Divide the frame into thirds, both vertically and horizontally

Picture a tic-tac-toe board overlaying your screen.

Place your key subject elements along those lines.

If close up, align eyes 2/3’s up (along the top “line”)

Where the lines intersect will be the best place for your subject.


Shows where

scene is set

ESTABLISHING SHOT


WIDE SHOT(SOMETIMES CALLED LONG SHOT)

Shows subject

at a greater

distance

surroundings

DUTCH TILT

Angle is deliberately slanted to one side.

Use for dramatic effect

Helps portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc




• Extreme close up

• Focus on 1 facial feature to show emotion

• Use too much headroom to depict smallness of subject

• Put subject in middle to show surroundings in extreme long or wide shots
