Introduction to Camera Composition PowerPoint

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.

My Camera Work: Camera Composition

Camera Composition Camera Composition is how the cinematographer choses to arrange certain elements in the frame of photos or films, whether it is a character in the or item. This adds dimension and further improves the media. The leading lines shot enhances what they are leading to. In this example the lines are leading to a dark shadow at the end of the hallway, making this shot mysterious. Deep focus is the focus on one this while something else is blurred. This example blurs the surrounding things and the sky is the main focus.
