- Think about camera stability (tripod or surface)
- Have subjects move in and out of frame instead of camera moving

THE RULE OF THIRDS & SHOT COMPOSITION
The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.
FILMING AND THE 180 RULE180 rule: This rule exists as a way to ensure that the audience is able to understand the scene.
The rule states that there’s a line, the line of action, that should be drawn between interacting subjects, and that cameras should only be placed on one side of the line. The reason for this rule is that if editing shots from both sides of the line it would make for a disorienting scene. It’s primarily used as a rule to guide dialogue scenes but is just as useful in any other scene to ensure screen direction is maintained and the audience understands who is where and where they are going. |
