Composition and camera

Call shot type, angle, and framing so the canvas isn’t a random crop of the subject.

When to use

Storyboards, ads, and any brief where layout must match a real camera plan.

How to apply

  1. State shot (wide/medium/close), angle (eye-level/low/high), and one composition rule (rule of thirds, centered, negative space).

Glossary

shot type
How tight the frame is — wide, medium, or close.
camera angle
Eye-level, low, or high relative to the subject.
rule of thirds
A composition guide that places key elements along thirds lines instead of dead center.
