In-Depth Research

I've been doing some research on shot composition, trying to find ways to make my framing more engaging and effective, and two concepts have really caught my attention: triangular composition and the 180-degree rule. I think these will be game-changers for my project.

Triangular composition is an important aspect when it comes to creating a film. It all comes down to using the three key elements in the frame to form a triangle, which naturally directs the attention of the viewer and adds depth and balance. The way it applies the rule of thirds, which I've been trying to apply somewhere on our film, is really excellent.   I can highlight the rule of thirds and produce more dynamic and layered shots—exactly what I want—by placing our protagonists or points of interest in a triangle. It functions similarly to a covert tool for visual storytelling.

Especially in interactions between characters, the 180-degree rule helps for keeping visual consistency.   I discovered that I could ensure constant screen direction by creating an imaginary line between my characters and maintaining the camera on one side of that line. This lets conversation flow much more naturally since the viewer will always know where the characters are in respect to one another. This is very crucial for the character interaction moment in my movie. The 180-degree rule will assist me in making hidden feelings visible. It all comes down to giving the audience a smooth and convincing experience, and this norm is important for that.
