research: A few rules of framing

• Firstly when framing you have to imagen horizontal and vertical lines in the frame, this breaks the shot into thirds. when filming you must ensure that the horizontal lines are going straight across the frame and the vertical are going straight down unless you are purposly changing this e.g tilt shot  which will be used a few times in our piece.
• Secondly now that the frame is split into thirds you have to think of where the points of intrest should be mainly they will be in the middle or bottom thirds for example an extreme long shot of a football stand you would put the point of intrest in the bottom thirds however when filming a person you would have to have the point of intrest in the middle third.
• However you must then consider what you are filming and what it is meant to show for example with a shot of a baby crawling you would want the baby to be shown in the left hand third and overlapping into the middle thirds, this would then create leading room in the right thirds for the baby to crawl into, this can then be extended through a shot of the mother watching the baby crawl in this shot you would want to have the subject looking away from the camera and into the space left in the left hand thirds, this space is called looking room.
• You should also consider headroom when filming a shot for example in any shots tighter on the subject than a midshot there should be very little space between the top of the subjects head and the end of the frame. 
• Another key aspect of framing is to look at the background of a shot because if there are too many other points of intrest happening in the background then it will take away from the object that you are trying to get the audience to focus on
• Finally when framing you need to pay close attention to the edges as you can sometimes shoot half a persons head which makes the work look ameteur however it is possible to shoot a subject from waist up as it doesnt throw of the compostion of the shot.
