2. Rule of thirds
• Took this photo whilst on holiday, took this using a method of gridding up
the photo to bring the focus onto the subject (the boat).
So as you can see
here, I framed the
boat to give a focal
point, other
practice shots are…
3. Rule of thirds in films
Right you can see a shot from
“Walter mitty”, here you can
see an amazing shot of him
boarding through Iceland.
The rule of thirds subtly
draws your eyes to him but
gives ample room for looking
at the scenery around him.
You can also see head room, the less
important feet are cropped out but the
head is still completely visible and close
to the focal point. This here shows the
importance of his head.
Here you can see
the rule of thirds
has been Brocken.
The focus is slap
bang centre. But
this here was done
to show symmetry
between the two
rocks.
4. lighting
• For my piece I know what I want, I would like a mix of CTO on one side and
CTB on the other. (colour temperature orange, colour temperature blue)
• Id like this as it adds contrast to the scene, cold vs heat, this here connotes
conflict, all on a subconscious manner. I have opted for low key lighting,
which will then be darkened even more with colour grading.
This here as you can see
is the exact style I'm
going for. It adds inner
conflict to the range of
emotions. Also looking
into lighting I found that
the use of haze makes
the individual beams of
light visible.
5. editing
• Typically with dramas, we find longer takes,
because this creates climax and tension. My
film too will also have more long shots, as this
is conventional to a drama.
