Framing Shots Differently

Framing shots can be a challenge to film makers. With the ability to put your camera almost anywhere you want in space, there are many different ways for a scene to be composed. One reason why film makers might want to frame their shots differently from others would be to add a certain emotion to the scene. By having certain characters in specific positions, the whole scene can be changed from one mood to another. Aspects such as headspace can be changed to give these different emotions to the scene. Another reason why some film makers change how shots are framed is to show their style. Different light colors and positioning can change how the audience perceives the scene and director's vision. The last reason why film makers change their framing is to portray a character a certain way. The way that the camera focuses and zooms on the character can completely change the audiences feelings about the character. Combining the position and movement of the camera, the feeling of a scene can be completely changed to the director's vision.
