Getting the Shot Right

What are three key things that this video teaches you about composition? Why is each of them important to the images that you shoot?

    Three key things that this video teaches about composition are camera position, the Rule of Thirds, and framing. The camera position is important as shooting your subject from a lower position makes them appear more dominant and bigger while shooting from a higher position makes them seem weaker and smaller. The rule of thirds adds more visual interest to the image and gives you guidelines that help with other rules and framing. Speaking of framing, it is important because bad framing looks sloppy, odd, and can give the audience a feeling that conflicts with the scene. The biggest concern with framing is how bad framing can make the audience uncomfortable when you don't intend it. That feeling can be used if intentional, but otherwise should be avoided.
