2. FRAMES
 The video tells me how camera and frames can tell different stories
mainly towards a person’s emotion.
Having a frame background in an image,
it will make the scene look more richer
and more pleasing to the audience.

3. DEPTH
 Having good depth in films will make them seem that they have a
very rich frame.
This is a very flat wide shot/long
shot. Some filmmakers chose not
have depth in their shots because
they may want their audience to
feel lonely or detached.

4. DEPTH
 I have learnt that shots that are flat are also used if characters are
in a busy or a boring lifestyle.
Normally when we go to the
cinema we expect films to have
depth which will create rich
frames. But a film which is
totally flat may leave a different
expectation upon the audience,

5. CONTRAST IN FILMS
 If we put a main character behind something that is low contrast and does not
make them stand out, then it may be hard for the audience to see where they are.
However something high contrasting can also be distracting for the audience
because they will not look at the main focal point and instead look at something
else which is not important. The first shot shows a
boy who is in low
contrast whereas in
the second shot it
shows a group of
band, where it is high
contrast.
