2. Film lighting

Film lighting example: fill, backlight, dark shadow and smoke

The way you light your film significantly affects how your audience perceives it. Using moody lighting with dark shadows in a teen comedy is not advisable; by the same token, your film noir is unlikely to work if there are bright colors and flat lighting. Imaginative and tonally appropriate lighting is crucial to successful filmmaking. Read more about film lighting.

3. Good camerawork

Good framing techniques will work wonders for your film. We are convinced – and there is evidence of this in every film – that imaginative camerawork will increase the connection between the audience and your story. There is so much mediocre camerawork around that you may as well err on the side of unusual angles – just make sure that your choices are motivated by the characters and the scene, not by a self-defeating lust for wacky camera angles.

Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds prescribes the placement of significant vertical and horizontal elements along the horizontal and vertical thirds, as shown in the illustration below:

It must be emphasised that the rule of thirds is only a guideline, and following it indiscriminately may result in an unbalanced and ugly composition.

Shooting close-ups

The illustration below shows my philosophy in the framing of close-ups. Anyone can shoot a close-up, but framing a balanced and visually pleasing one takes a little bit of judgement and practice. We strongly recommend you read my detailed post on how to shoot close-ups.

Shooting over-the-shoulder shots

Over-the-shoulder shots are peculiar to the art of filmmaking and are much maligned by some filmmakers for being time-consuming to shoot correctly, but in my opinion every ambitious filmmaker would be well advised to master not only the visual elements that go into a pleasing over-that-shoulder shot, but also how to communicate with the cast and crew to achieve the correct framing. The illustration below shows my over-the-shoulder shot framing philosophy:

Focusing

Always focus on your subject’s eyes, unless you specifically want something else to be in focus. You may not notice it in the viewfinder, but if the eyes are soft and the background is sharp it will be obvious on a TV screen and your audience will hate it.

Whatever it is that you want to be in focus, use this technique: zoom in all the way on the subject, pull focus and zoom back to get the framing you want. In this way your subject will be pin-sharp. You should do this as a matter of course on every single setup, and indeed on every take, especially if the subject moved after the last take.

The reason for zooming in before focusing is that the longest focal length has the smallest depth of field – if something is in focus at the longest end of the zoom, it will be in focus at every other focal length too.
