Using Camera Shot Composition

                                         

Framing: 

Framing is the placement, position, number, and relationships of the subject(s) in a scene. This is composition is purposeful in the way it is in filmed and how it is interpreted by the audience.  It can be produced through a variations of camera shots -such as a single shot or an insert shot- that is deemed fitting for the direction of the scene. This is a full shot image showcases the subject's joy on her birthday.  

Rule of Thirds: 

Rule of thirds is a 3x3 grid guide that the scene is framed in. This makes the shot aesthetically pleasing to look at since it follows the natural way in which the human eye looks for information. It provides a guide for the placement of the subject and its surrounding objects, which can be used add depth and meaning to a scene, keep the audience engaged in the film by peaking their curiosity, or pull the focus of the shot onto a specific detail. This grid can also help the audience easily locate the eyeline of the character and read their emotions. The image above displays this grid and how the subjects fit into the guide, to naturally display his anxiousness. 

dEPTH OF FIELD- DEEP FOCUS:

Depth of field is how sharp or blurry the area is around your object. A deep focus depth of field presents a clear and sharp image of the background and its subject. This allows for the photograph to be seen in it entirety in which the view can see the details of the background and the subject. The image above is focused on both the subject and its background, which fully displays the detail of the entire image. 

DEPTH OF FIELD- SHALLOW FOCUS:

A shallow focus depth of field is a sharp and clear of the subject against a blurred background. This draws the viewer attentions away from the background and solely on the subject making them the main focus of the image. This can be seen in the image above, as the turtle is now the center of attention. 

FOCUS pulls:

Focus pulls is a camera technique that changes the focus of the subject in an image, directing the viewer's attention. This used during dialogues, as the subject in focus transitions as each character takes turn speaking. This transition is seen in the two photographs, as the pineapple is sharpened and then blurred.
