The document discusses various techniques for structuring and framing shots in a 2-dimensional field, including using the magnetism of frames to create tension between images, following the rule of thirds for screen positioning, closing objects into rectangles or triangles for framing, and showing partial objects to make viewers want to see more on screen. It also addresses issues like proper nose room in shots and how different screen positions can group or isolate objects.

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.
