I’m hoping that by the end of the Semester I will have created a successful scene. In order to create this scene I have to think about what it is that makes a scene good. When I’m creating a scene I really like to think about how everything works within the space of the scene and particularly how the shots are framed. When we reviewed our scenes that we made in class Paul suggested that the framing in some of the shots wasn’t good. This made me wonder how we could frame our shots in order to create a scene that was engaging and aesthetic. When I next shoot a scene I’m aiming to have a central focus on the framing. Aspects that I want to think about when shooting are:

-Rule of thirds

-Frame within a frame

-The role of the lighting and Mise-en-scene in creating an aesthetic frame

-The blocking of the actors within the frame

-The camera angles within the scene in order to set up a good frame

-Looking through the viewfinder

-Balancing the frame

-Controlling the frame

-Using the frame to limit what the audience sees

-Having a loose frame or having a tight frame.
