    The document discusses various techniques for video composition including the rule of thirds, different camera angles like low, high and eye-level, and the use of foreground, middle ground and background. It explains that the rule of thirds involves dividing the frame into thirds and placing subjects along the lines. Camera angles like low angle can create a sense of power while high angle diminishes it. Foreground sets the stage, middle ground is in between, and background is most distant. Proper composition is important for focusing viewers and providing spatial context.

    Video Composition

    How you choose to frame the shot


    Placement of subjects and objects in the camera frame

    Rule of Thirds

    Basic rule for placement of a subject or object in the frame


    Divide the screen into thirds with imaginary lines

    Rule of Thirds

    People or the main object (eg. buildings) should be placed on one of the vertical lines in the Rule of Thirds.
    A persons eyes should fall on one of the horizontal lines.
    The horizon in the video should usually appear along one of the 2 imaginary horizontal lines.

    Camera Angles

    Low Angle

    Low Angle camera positioned below the eye line looking


    up (this creates a sense of power for the subject)

    High Angle

    High Angle camera positioned above the eye line looking


    down (this diminishes the sense of power from the subject
    and will make them appear small)

    Eye Level

    Eye Level camera is positioned at eye level with the


    subject (very common neutral shot creating a sense of
    equality)

    Eye Level

    Eye Level camera is positioned at eye level with the


    subject (very common neutral shot creating a sense of
    equality)

    Birds Eye View

    Birds Eye View an extreme high shot used to create the


    sense of a birds perspective (an overlooking God-like view)

    Dutch Tilt

    Dutch Tilt camera is tilted horizontally so that the horizon


    is not level (creates the sense of uneasiness or unbalance)

    Foreground, Middle ground


    and Background (FG/MG/BG)

    Foreground is the area immediately in front of you that sets the stage for the main part of the landscape.
    Middle ground is everything in between.
    Background is that part of the landscape that is the most distant from you.

    What are the important visuals in this photo?


    Which "framing" do you prefer and why?

    Composition Considerations:

    Medium Shot with proper headroom


    Use of "Rule of Thirds"
    Viewers focus is now on subject and accented by the background building - not

    visually split
    Pay close attention to both your subject and the background. The background
    provides important time and space information. We have a sense of where our
    subject is located (Pantheon in Rome Italy)

    Why is shot composition


    Important?

    Headroom

    The space above a subjects head and the edge of the TV frame.

    When framing a person in a CU, MCU or

    MS, there should be a small amount of hearoom.

    Too much headroom and the subject will look like they are falling out of the frame.
    Too little headroom makes the subject look like they are glued to the top of the frame.
    Note: Headroom "naturally" increases as shots becomes wider

    Activity 2:
    Camera Composition

    Each student will create the following 3 camera shots:

    MS, WS/LS, and XWS/XLS

    Each camera shot must now demonstrate your


    understanding of the following:

    Proper shot sizes

    Rule of Thirds

    Proper camera angles

    FG/MG/BG consideration for all elements in frame

    Lead Room
    To Little Lead Room

    The space that is in front or "leading" the subject in the direction they are travelling OR LOOKING.
    Gives the viewer a sense of where the subject is going.
    In a video we already know where the subject came from. Help to visually move the story along.
