Presentation Transcript

  1. Visualization • Composition • Visual Sensitivity • Arranging things in the frame • Static principles • Moving principles • Guidelines, but not rules

  2. Form vs Content • Content Takes Precedence • Message most important • Avoid visual distractions • Make things look good, but not the most important thing

  3. Camera Angle • above--diminishes • below--increases stature • canted--instability • very high--pattern, separation • POV (point of view)--camera in approximate position of character

  4. Composition • how elements are organized in the frame • Good composition is: • unified • establishes spatial and psychological relationships • directs audience attention • aesthetically pleasing • Conveys meaning

  5. Composition • Some unique TV characteristics • screen small-make elements large in screen--close up medium • aspect ratio--3x4, 16x9 • essential area, 10-15% loss • 2 dimensions

  6. Composition • 1. organize screen area • centering--stable, symmetrical, secure • non-symmetrical • Golden Mean--divide frame in thirds, place objects on these lines or at intersections • place strong verticals off center • avoid empty space in center • headroom--eyes 1/3 down screen--be consistent • noseroom, talkspace, walkspace • avoid profiles • closure--natural cut-off

  7. Composition • 2. organizing screen depth • try to create illusion of depth • lens WA exaggerates, TEL reduces • don't position objects, people in same plane • shoot from angles not straight on • use foreground and background

  8. Composition • 3. Organize screen motion • movement to or away stronger than side to side • movement to or from WA increases, NA decreases

  9. Composition • 4. Avoid • Poor juxtaposition • lack of or inconsistent headroom • large, unmotivated differences in subject height • camera angle extremes w/out reason--shoot down on persons of authority • too much space in center • distracting movement--movement draws attn. • profiles

  10. Composition • 5. Compose around single area of interest • Simple is better • Avoid clutter • Brightest part

  11. Composition • 6. Avoid Mergers • Objects blend together • Contrast • Positioning

  12. Light • Gradation • Highlights • Exposure • Tonality

  13. Pattern • Organization of elements • Abstract • Texture • Lead the eye

  14. Background • Relate to foreground/subject • Keep simple • Not distract • Not busy • Avoid movement • Color harmony • Colors relate • Feel or matching

  15. Background • Create depth • Placement (not too close) • Use planes • Texture • Adds interest • Light well • Not as bright • Gradated

  16. Details • Nothing extraneous • Mic cords • Wrinkles • Seams • Poorly juxtaposed items • Inappropriate items • Anything missing ? • Add context/meaning
