Camera Framing

 Framing in a film is very essential. This is the arrangement and position of subjects in a shot. Some important elements of this are firstly, the size of the object. Next the association between the characters. Lastly, how balanced the shot is, for instance, the frame has elements on the left, right or both sides of the frame. Some examples of camera framing are a One shot, two shot, three shot etc. Starting off, a one-shot features one character alone in a frame, this can highlight key characters or the main character. Next a two shot is when 2 characters are visible in a frame. This can create a visible relationship between the 2 characters. Lastly, a three shot, this is when 3 individuals are in a shot clearly. It spotlights 3 characters.
