The document discusses various cinematography techniques for structuring shots including the interplay of screen forces created by the magnetism of frames, using the rule of thirds for screen positioning, framing objects through closure into rectangles or triangles, including the proper amount of nose room in shots, and how showing only part of an object makes viewers want to see more on screen. It provides examples of these techniques and their effects on viewer perception.

2. Magnetism of The Frame
Pulling the images to the edges of the screen
The magnetism of the frame creates the tension between the two, along with
the “STEP BROTHERS” sign

3. The object that stands out the most, usually the
largest object in shot

4. Rule of Thirds

5. Screen Positioning
Screen Center Position Off-Center Position

6. Object Framing
Closure into Rectangle
Closure into Triangle

7. Looks like the
tree is growing
From her head

9. The shape of the head inevitably leads to closure into an
oval.

10. Shot lacking nose room Shot containing proper
amount of nose room

11. The two center discs attract each other and are seen
together. The disc in the upper right corner is
isolated.

12. The converging index vectors now combine the right
center disc and the disc in the upper right corner.
The left center disc is isolated.

13. By showing only
part of the car on
screen, we
inevitably want the
car to drive into on
screen space so
that we can get a
closer look at it.
