Now that you've learned about framing, angles and composition, how has it improved your appreciation of watching films and television? What are 3 examples of how you've seen these principles in play out in the world?
Angles taught me that filmmakers must keep in mind the the eye line of the characters in the scene. If the angles are off, one character may be looking down at another character, but it may make it seem like they are looking in the opposite direction. The most prominent use of angles can be seen when using a low angle on one of that characters while using a high angle for another. This can portray the power difference between one character and another. Framing is important when composing a shot without dead space. This applies to an effective use of head room, lead room, and nose room. Unless done intentionally, the awkward amount of dead space can confuse the audience. For example, in a car chase scene, a car must have a reasonable amount of lead room to convince the audience that the car has a destination instead of running into a wall. Good composition can be found in the fibonacci sequence. This is the golden rule where the fibonacci spiral circles around to ultimately focus the audience to the subject in the middle of the spiral. This can be found in the natural world but it can also be intentionally be made by placing people in a spiral such as the cowboy scene in the keynote.
