Composition

       Different Aspects of Camera Composition

Framing: framing refers to the way elements are arranged in the frame
. Essentially what the camera sees. The way actors are blocked, and move through the scene, and set design, all these things play a role in framing.

Rule of Thirds: The rule of thirds involves mentally creating equally spaced vertical and horizontal lines on a potential shot or image, then placing points of interest on this grid's lines and intersection points. The theory is that the filming style will create more pleasing visuals to the viewer's eye.

Depth of Field(DOF): Depth of field is the range of distance within which all objects will be in acceptable sharp focus. It is an area in front of and behind the principle point of focus that will also be in acceptable focus.

Deep: 
Deep focus cinematography is when a large section of what is on screen is in perfect focus. Often, video has a more shallow focus. For instance, a shot that is focusing on one person talking will usually only have that person in focus. The rest of the detail in the shot, including the background, will be out of focus. The detail is not necessarily required and only having the subject in focus can be a way for the director to show people who or what they should focus on. Deep focus keeps the whole shot in focus. 

Shallow: Shallow focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique incorporating a small depth of field. In shallow focus, one plane of the scene is in focus while the rest is out of focus. Shallow focus is typically used to emphasize one part of the image over another.

Focus Pulls: The focus pull (AKA rack focus) is a creative camera technique in which you change focus during a shot. Usually this means adjusting the focus from one subject to another.
