Research: Camera Placement & Subject Positioning

The Art of Cinematic Composition


For this video I also learned about head room, and how it's the amount of negative space around the subjects head. If there is too much or too little head room it can make the shot feel unbalanced. There is also looking room which is the amount of space infront of the subject. Usually, there is more space infront of the subject than behind them. Placing the subjects eyes on rule of thirds normally gives the perfect amount of looking and head room. If placed incorrectly it can lead to the proportions looking uneven. When a subject takes up most of the frame, a close-up, it may indicate importance or emotional intensity. On the contrary, when a subject takes up very little space, a wide shot, it may mean is weak or lonely.
