Lecture Note Week 04:
In this week's lecture, Mr Hafiz introduced us about Compositions, Visual Types and shots.Basic Composition Rules:
1. Visual Narative
2. Viusal Flow
- Composition should complement your subject focus and reflect the narrative.
- Think of the look and feel of the scene. Get their emotions on the same page.
Figure 4.2 Violet Evergarden, Episode 10(2018) Composition Study-Visual Narrative
Figure 4.3 Violet Evergarden, Episode 10(2018) Composition Study - Visual Narrative
2. Viusal Flow
- The composition determines the path of a viewer's eye through the visual.
Figure 4.4 Demon Slayer(Kimetsu no Yaiba) - Visual Flow
3. Visual Balance
- Even though you can’t know the exact path a viewer’s eye is going to take, you can nudge things one way or another.
Figure 4.5 Parasite (2019) Composition Study - Visual Balance
4. Visual Hierarchy
- The way you visualize and focus your subject matters can have huge effects on the composition the artists make...and sometimes can even affect the course of history.

Tyes of shots:
1. Establishing shot- Purpose:
- Establish the setting.
- Give viewers time to take in the scene.
Figure 4.7 The Wizard of Oz (1939) - Establishing Shot
- AKA overhead shots.
- The camera is placed directly above the subject
- It is ~90⸰ above the scene.
Figure 4.8 The Avengers(2012) - Bird's eye View
3. Frame-within-a-frame
- A well-composed frame-within-a-frame can fracture screen space, add depth, and create visual interest in the composition.
- Purpose:
- Foreground and background elements can emphasise and highlight underlyng meanings in the story.
- Break up information in the frame for maximum impact.
Figure 4.9 Mulan(1998) - Frame-within-a-frame
- AKA three-quaters shot
- Purpose:
- To frame characters.
Figure 4.10 Titanic(1997) - Medium Shot
- A close-up shots is an intimate moment between the viewer and the character.
- Purpose: To emphasise emotion and thoughts within a grander context.
Figure 4.11 Get Out(2017) - Close-up Shot
5. Worm's-eye View
- The camera is placed directly beneath the subject
- It is ~90⸰ below the scene.
