  Camera Composition     Camera composition is how the cinematographer frames and places everything inside the camera frame. For this section of the power point, just like the last one, me and my teammate has to utilize composition to analyze the movie scenes. For example, symmetry balance is when there is something usually a character in the middle of the frame that is in a symmetrical background. And there are leading lines shot that does a similar effect like the symmetry balance; the lines in the scene lead to the main focus usually a character or an object.     Just like the first section of the power point, we had to add the definition of the camera composition that we were doing, the movie's name, key points about the movie scene doesn't have to be super detailed, and then an action line that clearly states what is going on in the movie.

Camera Framing      Camera framing is the way that characters are set up in the camera and appeal to the audience of the movie.  For this section power point, me and my teammate utilized camera framing to analyze movie clips and find which movie had the certain camera framing in it. For example, every movie has a one shot. A one shot is when only one character is shown in the camera frame/ film. Whereas an over the shoulder shot, is when character are talking to one another and they put the camera over their shoulder to get the reaction of the other person they are talking to.      In the power point we had to add in a definition of camera framing that we were doing, movie's name, key points about the movie scene (small details on what's happening), and an action line clearing explain what is going on in the movie.
