When filming our prelim, we never considered the importance of framing and composition so most of our shots consisted of the placement of a person where ever. As you can see in this shot, the framing of the iron gates are not evenly distributed and the angle is slightly canted:
We decided to focus more on the framing of shots when filming our actual music video and to do that, we learnt about the rule of thirds:
The rule of thirds is simple: basically just imaging the image breaking down into thirds. The four dots allows you to choose your points of interest by placing the object or person either in the center or around the four dots. If the points of interested are placed along the lines, the image becomes more balanced and enables a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally. People's eyes are often above or along the lines rather than the center of the shot:
I watched a video to expand my knowledge on the rule of thirds:
For our music video, we positioned the person in the right side of the frame:
