Symmetry
Depending upon the scene - symmetry can be something to go for -or to avoid completely asymmetrical shot with a strong composition and a good point of interest and can lead to a striking image. But without the strong point of interest it can be a little predictable. Experiment with both in the one shoot to see which works best.
The Depth Of Field
The Depth of Field that you select when taking an image will drastically impact the composition image. It can isolate a subject from its background and foreground or it can put the same subject in context by revealing its surroundings with a leather depth of field
Framing
Most of us use frames to display our images when we hang them on walls for viewing however framing can be used with in the composition of a shot tip help you highlight the main point of your interest in the image and or or to put in context to give the image ‘depth’.
Perspective
The perspective that a shot is taken from is another element that can have a big impact upon an image. Shooting from up high and looking down on subject or shooting from looking up on the same subject drastically impact not only the ‘look of the image’ different point of interest.
Space
There can be a fine line between filling your frame with your subject and creating a nice sense of intimacy and connection) and also giving your subject space to breathe.
Either technique can be effective so experimenting with moving in close and ]moving out to capture a subject in its context
Sometimes it is what you leave of an image that makes it special
Colours
The colors in an image and how they are arranged can make or break a shot.
Bright colours can add vibrancy energy and interest however in the wrong position they can also distract the viewer of an image away from focal points.
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images designs film and painting and photographs
Buffy Challenge
From this challenge I have learned that following a storyboard is tricky as you have to understand where the camera has to move or where the actor/actress has to be placed to fit the final shots. However, it is also important to have one so then you're cast and crew understands exactly what images and sequences they go in. Overall follow the production schedule and the shot list to a decent accuracy to get overall get the best product.
