Camera Movements & Composition #8

 Howdy folks!

        We studied camera movement and composition in class. A film's composition and movement are important components to consider. Although a shot's composition can consist of many elements, the main ones are depth and framing. 

        Depth of Field:

Shallow Focus

        This kind of focus makes it obvious that the directors only want you to give attention to that one character. It's not really possible to see what's coming or happening on the back. Both the character and the audience are unaware of their surroundings. 

Standard Focus

        Though you can see other things going on in the background, this focus is primarily on the character. For instance, the main focus in this photo is the llama; however, you can still see the different color glass, but it is not the main focus. 

Deep Focus

        You can see everything clearly when you have this focus. The objects that the characters engage in with or pass by are shown. You may be able to relate to the actions of the characters in that certain shot.

        Framing: 

Rule of Third

        Using the rule of thirds might help you organize images. There are three divisions in the frame. The rule of thirds would apply to anything in an image that is in the left or right third.
