1. SHOT COMPOSITION ACTIVITY-
Shot composition refers to how the mise en scene fills the frame of the image
on the screen. When making the film and editing it all together having different
viewpoints of the same image is much more watchable and eye-catching for the
audience. There are different guidelines which must be taken into account in
order to achieve these things. For instance, the rule of thirds. This is applied
when the subject of the image is aligned with the guidelines.
