Composition






One of the key aspects of making a film is composition- the way that things are set out on the screen, in the foreground and the background. If composition is good, it can make the whole film look professional and easy to watch, whereas poor composition can make each shot appear amateur and unrealistic. The best way to ensure that composition is of a decent quality is to use the 'rule of thirds', in which each shot is divided into nine equal squares. The key is to get important features of the shot (such as major facial expressions or items), and in the video which we created, we attempted to use this method to capture shots with good composition.







Below are a few examples of stills from films and other forms of media which show brilliant composition.
