8. RULE OF THIRDS
 Centering your subject is less
interesting
 Divide the frame into thirds, both
vertically and horizontally
 Picture a tic-tac-toe board overlaying
your screen.
 Place your key subject elements along
those lines.
 If close up, align eyes 2/3’s up (along
the top “line”)
 Where the lines intersect will be the
best place for your subject.

9. ESTABLISHING SHOT

scene is set

10. WIDE SHOT
(SOMETIMES CALLED LONG SHOT)

a greater distance
