OTS – FILM AND VIDEO BASICS


The aspect ratio of an image represents the difference in height to the width, a good example would be a square video like the one you would see on Instagram, and a standard YouTube video is 16:9 this means for every one unit heigh the image needs to be 16 units across. 

The rule of thirds is a method used by filmmakers to focus on a subject, the aim of the ‘rule of thirds’ is to have a main subject in focus (in the foreground) and then have a background to the image this will help to add depth and composition to the frame. Eyes are very important to keep at an intersecting point as it tells a lot about the character.
