Framing Tips

In class, we had a tutorial of how we can make a better film by showing us a video of Framing tips,
There were several rules that we should use more often and the examples will be shown below.
But I will show the major ones that i personally think it helps and the ones I just learnt in class.

The Rule Of Third


This rule is what i learnt in class and never knew about it before. For me, it does make the filming better and the film in general looks real. This rules applies by diving the frame using two lines going horizontally and another two lines going vertically. Something like this.


The rule of thirds has been used mostly in every TV programme or films. The frame is split into 3 boxes or grids horizontally and vertically in order to have the characters or objects in the frame and correctly position within the frame.




Close-Up

In the closeup shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the frame. A close up of a person usually means a close up of their face (unless specified otherwise).


A close-up of a person emphasizes their emotional state. Whereas a mid-shot or wide-shot is more appropriate for delivering facts and general information, a close-up exaggerates facial expressions which convey emotion. The viewer is drawn into the subject's personal space and shares their feelings.
