Framing and Composition

What's the object of interest in a frame? When composing your shot so that your reasoning for it shines through. The focal point is complimented.

Centered Focus:
This shot demands attention however as it is frequently used it is becoming a bit boring. This also creates something quite formal as new reports usually uses this shot type.

Drawing attention in by directing the audiences eye in some way, by having a diagonal angle.

Rule of Thirds
It makes it more interesting to have the focal point placed at either side than in the centre as it creates a more dynamic and interesting shot. However the amount of empty space should be balanced to the image to make it attractive.

Eye-Line Rule
Eyes should be three quarter of the way down the screen in order to look affective and create a relationship with the audience

Leading Space
This makes more of a dramatic shot.
It needs to be the way the character is looking to do this.


Lines
Diagonal lines are dynamic and creates a sense of movement.

I found this video which I found quite interesting and will be referring to in order to make each of our shots as near to perfect as we can.
