Framing Close-Up Shots
by Pro Staff Member: Joe Allen



Pro Staff Tip for one way to Frame your shot by Joe Allen from Campbell Cameras on Vimeo.

When you film from the Chest Up it is called a " Medium Close-Up" Shot



When determining where to place your subject in your shot, you can use the Rule of Thirds as a guideline. Now, keep in mind that the rule of thirds is just a guideline,  it is not a true "rule" that you always have to follow.  For the rule of thirds, you basically imagine breaking your shot into thirds horizontally and vertically so that there are 4 cross sections. The theory is that if you place your subject in the intersections or along the lines that your video becomes more balanced and look more natural. 

Tip: If your subject is wearing a hat, focus on the nose of the subject and not the brim of the hat.

About Johanna Campbell

What has two arms and does ten jobs at once? This girl. Saying she wears a lot of hats is like saying everything's bigger in Texas. Pure Fact. For example, in the midst of supplying content and dropping knowledge on the Campbell Cameras Facebook page, she's also found time to design catalogs and multiple websites. Not to mention the million things Tom asks her to do for him everyday. Chances are if you have interacted with Campbell Cameras on Facebook, Twitter, Google, Blogger, Instagram, or Pinterest, you got a reply from Johanna. Why, you might ask? Because Johanna believes every customer is a chance for her to make a new friend. Go ahead, give her a call or leave her a question on the Campbell Cameras Facebook Page because she is getting lonely!
