Media Composition Glossary

Composition - Where objects are placed / arranged on shot.

Rule of Thirds - Rule of Thirds is when you draw a grid over the shot to seperate it into 9 different sections. The idea being is that you set up the shot so that point of interest occur where the lines cross.

The Golden Mean - "The Golden Mean" method is similar to the "Rule of Thirds" method because they are both used to point out points of interest within a scene. In the Golden Mean method a line is placed over the shot so tht point of interest can be moved or altered so that can occur along the diagonal line.

Framing - Framing is a method used to cut out any unwanted parts of a shot, it basically allows you to choose what you want to include in the shot and what you want to leave out.
