framing...

                                                      Framing: 

There are plenty of things that need to be considered when filming. 
Here is a list of some of the most important things to look out for: 

• rule of thirds: 

This is when you place the action taking place within the frame correctly using a grid to ensure that the action happening takes place on at least one of these lines formed in the grid. 

• Leave no head space:

In every film you see you will notice that there is never too much head space left above the actors heads, this is because when too much space is left it takes away the viewers attention from the action happening in the scene. it also looks highly unprofessional. 

• have your actors walk in and out of the frame:

when the actors walk in and out of the frame it gives the editors freedom to cut the scene to wherever they want to place the next scene, it also makes the scene flow better as it promotes continuity.

• shoot at eye level/high angles and low angles:

with these shot types you can capture ideas of who the dominant character is in that scene as well as the lesser characters. As well as this, it allows you to focus on  a certain person or event as the camera is fixed in a certain way displaying a specific idea/scene.
