1 Basic Lighting for Film And Video Framing the composition Rule of thirds Placing the subject off-center often makes the composition more dynamic and interesting. Even if your subject fills the frame, the most important part of the subject (for example, the eyes in a portrait) should not be dead center. Follow the rule of thirds (the Golden Mean). An easy way to compose off-center pictures is to imagine a tick-tack-toe board over your viewfinder. Avoid placing your subject in that center square, and you have followed the rule of thirds. Try to place your subject along one of the imaginary lines that divides your frame. Basic Lighting for Film and Video 2007 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 1 of 14

2 Framing the composition Rule of thirds Watch the horizon. Just as an off-center subject is usually best, so is an off-center and straight horizon line. Avoid cutting your picture in half by placing the horizon in the middle of the picture. To accent spaciousness, keep the horizon low in the picture. To suggest closeness, position the horizon high in your picture. Composition is composed of: MASS (objects in the composition) Formal Balance (equal balance/classical balance) two objects of equal size becomes static. Cinema Techniques for Video and Animation 2003 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 2 of 14

3 Informal Balance (unequal balance) large object counterbalanced with smaller object. LINE (implied line) vertical (strength) Basic Lighting for Film and Video 2007 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 3 of 14

4 horizontal (tranquility) diagonal (force and energy) curve (beauty) Cinema Techniques for Video and Animation 2003 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 4 of 14

5 S curve (line of beauty) leading edge (leads your eye somewhere in the picture) Basic Lighting for Film and Video 2007 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 5 of 14

6 Leading edge can also take you out of the picture. FORM (implied form) triangle/pyramid (solid base) radii (lines meet in the center) Cinema Techniques for Video and Animation 2003 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 6 of 14

11 Framing the composition Rule of thirds Golden ratio If you were going to design a rectangular TV screen or swimming pool, would one shape be more pleasing to the eye than others? Since the early Greeks, a ratio of length to width of approximately 1.618, has been considered the most visually appealing. This ratio, called the golden ratio, not only appears in art and architecture, but also in natural structures (1.618) 1:1.618 ratio (Golden Ratio) 6:9 ratio HD TV 4:3 ratio (TV) Basic Lighting for Film and Video 2007 Brad Stoddard 5/12/07 Page 11 of 14

12 Framing the composition Rule of thirds Golden ratio The sides of the Egyptian pyramids were golden triangles. Additionally, the threefour-five triangle is a golden ratio between the five unit side and the three unit side. The Egyptians considered this kind of right triangle extremely important and used it also in the pyramids. Golden triangle : An isosceles triangle with base angles of 72 degrees and a vertex angle of 36 degrees. The Great Pyramid The Greeks put the Golden Ratio to work. Its use in architecture became wide spread, and when Iktinos designed the Parthenon in the 5th century B.C., he used the Golden Ratio throughout it.
