the importance of camera layout…
In planning a shot, I like to think about the composition
and pick the best and most interesting camera views.
The choice of camera view impacts
how the audience feels about the story.
The new shot, to me, read as one guy threatening another.
The content could be a bit harsh,
which could lead to some harsh camera angles. or not.
Here are the ones I found the most interesting…
#1 is the standard two shot, and where I shot my reference from.
#2 is interesting and shows off the knife guy but is still boring.
#3 cool, their heads are right on the thirds which is nice.
#4 I really like this view. tan really looks trapped.
All of the dialog is from pink and seeing him might be important.
#5 This is good, but now we are looking down on both of them.
#6 interesting. Hard to see pink talking though.
#7 notice now the upper third is on the knife, and the space between.
# eh. different –but not working for me.
Now if I didn’t poke around a bit, I would have ended up with choice 1.
Which would have been merely ‘fine’.

like the no. 7 for the shape it creates around the knife cool stuff
