1 The rule of thirds

The rule of thirds is a simple but powerful guideline that helps you balance and align your shots. Imagine dividing your frame into nine equal parts by drawing two horizontal and two vertical lines. The points where the lines intersect are called the rule of thirds points. These are the ideal spots to place your main subject or focal point, as they create a natural and pleasing composition. You can also use the lines to align the horizon, the edges of buildings, or other elements of interest.

It's ideal to follow rules but if you are a beginner it's best to try all the compositions at all the angle possible this gives you a sense of possibilities this might not be ideal on the shoot day but can be tested before the shoot. Remember all the sequences/shots should maintain consistency whatever the angle you place it, it's really important to remember what was the shot before, what's after, and where this fit in.

2 The golden ratio

The golden ratio is another way to create harmonious and aesthetically pleasing compositions. It is based on a mathematical proportion that is found in nature, art, and architecture. The golden ratio is approximately 1.618:1, which means that the smaller part of a whole is about 0.618 times the larger part. To apply the golden ratio to your framing, you can use a spiral or a grid that follows this proportion. The center of the spiral or the grid is the most important area of your frame, where you should place your main subject or focal point. The rest of the spiral or grid helps you create a dynamic and balanced composition.

3 Leading lines

Leading lines are lines that draw your audience's eye to a specific point or direction in your frame. They can be straight, curved, diagonal, or converging. They can be natural, such as roads, rivers, or fences, or artificial, such as buildings, bridges, or rails. Leading lines help you create depth, perspective, and movement in your shots. They also help you emphasize your main subject or focal point, by directing your audience's attention to it.

4 Depth of field

Depth of field is the range of distance in your frame that is in focus. It is controlled by the aperture, the focal length, and the distance of your camera from your subject. Depth of field can help you create different effects and moods in your shots. A shallow depth of field, where only a small part of your frame is in focus, can help you isolate your main subject or focal point from the background, and create a sense of intimacy, drama, or mystery. A deep depth of field, where most or all of your frame is in focus, can help you show the context, the scale, or the complexity of your scene, and create a sense of realism, clarity, or openness.

DOF isn't just a technical aspect; it's a powerful tool for conveying emotions in storytelling. For instance, when a character is deep in thought, widening the DOF isolates them, emphasizing their internal journey. Imagine a character overcoming hardships to reach a mountain peak. A shot from behind with the character out of focus and the breathtaking scenery in focus can eloquently capture the profound impact of the journey. These are just basic example.

5 Framing within a frame

Framing within a frame is a technique that involves using an object or an element in your scene to create a frame around your main subject or focal point. This can be a window, a door, an arch, a mirror, or anything else that creates a shape or a boundary in your frame. Framing within a frame can help you create contrast, focus, and depth in your shots. It can also help you convey a message, a theme, or a mood, such as isolation, curiosity, or connection.
