Camera Shots

In today's lesson I learnt four new types of shots:

180 degree rule: The 180 degree rule ensures directional consistency from shot to shot, it may be used in conversation.

Rule of thirds (9 imaginary squares on the screen): the viewfinder screen is divided into thirds horizontally and vertically, when framing a shot, the camera person should consider these imaginary lines when placing characters in the right place.

Depth of field: The amount of distance between the nearest and furthest objects that appear.

Focus pull: Useful for directing the viewers attention. There are two people in the shot but only one character is in focus.
