Another aspect to take into account
when composing a shot
2
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:06,840
is the natural architectural lines
of a scene.
3
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:10,593
As a viewer, it is natural
to follow these lines with our eyes
4
00:00:10,593 --> 00:00:12,345
so we can use these lines to draw
5
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:16,307
the viewer deeper into the frame
or pull them out.
6
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:20,103
Let's take a look at an example.
7
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:23,565
Here we see a man standing against a stone
wall.
8
00:00:23,648 --> 00:00:27,110
The horizontal lines
of the image intersect with the subject
9
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,112
at perpendicular angles.
10
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:33,658
The lines do not draw us into the frame,
but rather reinforce the grid
11
00:00:33,658 --> 00:00:37,954
like pattern of the background
by shifting the camera to the side.
12
00:00:38,163 --> 00:00:42,083
We can get a very different perspective
13
00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:43,376
by implementing
14
00:00:43,376 --> 00:00:46,796
the rule of thirds and recognizing
the lines of the background.
15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,341
We are able to create
a much more dynamic image.
16
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:53,344
The lines
of the wall now run back into space.
17
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:56,806
Drawing the viewer into the subject
perspective
18
00:00:56,806 --> 00:00:59,768
lines can be used in other ways as well.
19
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:02,771
Here we have positioned the subject
so the lines direct
20
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:06,066
the viewer's
attention to the center of the frame
21
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:09,652
by being aware of naturally
occurring lines within your frame.
22
00:01:09,861 --> 00:01:13,615
You can create dynamic composition
that work with the organic flow
23
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:19,120
of an image that enables you
to selectively emphasize dramatic elements
24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,123
by adjusting the scale
of a particular subject
25
00:01:22,207 --> 00:01:25,001
to establish its importance
within the story.
26
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:27,337
Hitchcock used this to great effect
27
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:31,091
by equating the size of an object
in the frame to its importance
28
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:35,178
because of these, some people refer to it
as the Hitchcock's rule.
29
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:39,307
We can establish tension and suspense
by filling the frame with an object
30
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:44,229
before our audience understands
its significance by placing characters
31
00:01:44,229 --> 00:01:46,815
and objects deep within the frame.
32
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:49,901
You cannot just a passive relationship
between the character
33
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,736
and their environment.
34
00:01:51,736 --> 00:01:55,115
It may take a bit more lighting
and planning to successfully utilize
35
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:59,619
great depth of field in your projects,
but it can make a world of difference.
36
00:01:59,702 --> 00:02:03,706
This isn't to say there is a certain style
that is preferable.
37
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:07,794
It all depends on the
story you're trying to tell.
