3 TRICKS TO FRAME YOUR SHOT BETTER
There are ways that can help you improve your composition!
The concept of the frame comes basically from a canvas, elements of composition have been employed by painters much before than photographs or cinematographers, in each of the eras of painting or fine art composition has developed gradually and the ways to framing have seen new and interesting avenues. There are many commonalities between compositional elements and framing and all of it boils down to basic design principles and a little bit of creative trickery. One thing to keep in mind is the difference in the medium, painting is primarily a contemplative format usually with no time constraints where a painter can take their time to think about compositional elements in details and craft them accordingly, whereas in photography or video, a moment might just slip away if one is not aware of the proper methods and techniques of composition or a brilliant photo opportunity could go to complete waste. These tricks might help you to capture that special moment and preparation is key. This list contains very basic tips in framing and composition and is easy to understand even for beginners in the world of photo or video, the tips boil down to common sense with a sprinkle of aesthetic advice here and there, but even these tricks need to be experimented with in order to achieve what is exactly desired.
Keep Enough Head Space for Your Subjects
One of the biggest problems in amateur photographers or videographers is that they often forget to keep enough headspace for their characters, although it could be a creative choice, but some leeway in terms of headspace is required in order for the shot to have its desired effect too little headspace can make the shot feel claustrophobic or too tight or a lot of headspace can mean dead space or negative space above the head of the subjects it is very important to understand what is correct amount of headspace though practice will make perfect.
Composing Centrally or in Thirds
One of the most important concepts to understand in framing is whether to compose the subject centrally or in thirds, which means on either corner of the frame, this will depend on the purpose or intent of the shot and that it is very important to understand what impact each creates.
