Rule of Thirds

Scale
Knowing how big an object is based on the human body. Manipulate for significance (Hitchcock Rule)
Open Frame
Head Room
Nose Room
Close frame
Everything in one frame, not looking off screen
Depth of field
Shallow focus=small depth of field=small space in focus
Deep Focus=large depth of field=large space in focus
Why manipulate Depth of field?
Separate shapes (prevents visual confusion)
Draw attention to and away from subjects
Imitate behavior of the human eye
Frame Rate (FPS)
The rate at which frames are acquired and/or played back
Frame
A single image
Shot
An uninterrupted series of frames
