Cinematography: Camerawork
Shot Composition is the placement of people and objects within the film frame.
The Cinematographer will work with the Director on shot composition. He will then frame the shot using the viewfinder of the camera. This shot will relate directly to the storyboard, part of preproduction. All the elements of cinematography will be involved here.
Rule of thirds is used to help shot composition. Look at the example on the left. The shot is broken down into a grid of 3x3. Characters are placed along the vertical lines. Can you think of a reason why this might be?
The idea is to make the shot interesting & informative to the audience.
