FRAME & FOCUS Bias toward filling the frame & minimizing the blank space above your subject.  This will help focus your audience’s a@enAon and will create a sense of inAmacy with your subjects.  

STORYBOARD Plan ahead – write a script, then sketch out a storyboard to prototype communicaAon, flow and shooAng schedule.  Get feedback and go through mulAple iteraAons before you shoot. 

USE LIGHTING to draw a@enAon to your subject.  There is no “right” way to light, but of awareness of the direcAon of light sources relaAve to your subjects will help you a@ract rather than distract viewers.   

RULE of 3rds : A simple recipe for a@racAve images. Mentally divide your frame into verAcal and horizontal 3rds.  Place horizon lines & strong verAcals along the 3rds and points of interest (e.g. eyes) at their intersecAons.
