Whilst in class, we watched a short film full of examples of good framing in order to help us with the filming of our own teen film later on in the future. The film was full of tips to help us ensure we get the best shots possible throughout our movie. Some of these tips include:
- Keep your camera steady and frame your shots so that the action takes place within the frame.
- Long shots can be effective.
- Use a varied number of shots from a range of different angles, using different shot types.
- Use shots to help get moods across. E.g. move closer into frame as tension builds.
- Use a number of 'cutaway' shots as the are useful. These are shots that are not directly linked to the action in the scene.
- Try to shoot at eye level to the actors. You can use high or low level shots when mirroring the actors point of view.
- Avoid zooming.
- Use match cuts.
- Use the rule of thirds; which states you should keep whatever you are filming on the lines in the shot.
