Introduction to Storyboarding Camera Composition

       The rule of thirds shot is composition guideline that places you subject in the left or right thirds of an image. A symmetry balance shot is one or more elements is matched between shots. This means the shot is exactly symmetrical. An asymmetry shot occurs when you have different visual images on either side of a design, and yet the image still seems balanced. This means the shot is not symmetrical. A point shot is when all lines meet at one point or individual. It's like a point of view shot. A leading lines shot is a compositional technique that uses line shapes to direct the viewer's eye to a specific subject or detail. A shape shot is the formation of shape in which a frame is shot in or shot from. A deep focus shot is a technique where all elements of an image are in sharp focus. None of the shot is blurred. A shallow focus shot is the technique that keeps one part of an image in focus while the rest is out of focus. Everything but that part of the image that's being focused on is blurred.

       Camera composition makes the film more interesting. The categories can add to scene and the film overall. You can make a scene a symmetry balance shot, a leading lines shot, or a rule of thirds shot. They just add more to shots.
