Composition Techniques

There are four main composition techniques. Rule of thirds, framing, unusual angles, and leading lines. These composition techniques make a video 10x better! These are probably one of the most simple composition techniques; leading lines can be found in nature, to do rule of thirds you just need to adjust the camera angle, unusual angles can be preformed by setting the camera low, high, or anything interesting that you can think of, and lastly framing can be done by either hand, or nature. Each definition for these composition techniques, are easy to remember. I would suggest using these four as much as possible when filming, it WILL make a difference

Rule of thirds- When your subject is where lines would intersect if there was a grid on your screen. This composition is always used in interviews.

Framing- Your subject is residing in between something, such as in a clump of trees that open in the center. The center is where your subject should be.

Unusual angles- Unusual angles are used to create change in your video, so the whole video isn't shot from one angle.

Leading lines- These lines can be found in nature, you are supposed to strategically place your subject so that the lines are pointing to them, this helps focus on your subject because the viewers eye will naturally follow the lines, straight to the subject.
