Be aware of backgrounds; look for trees “growing” out of the subject’s head when positioning them.

Composition
Usually, scenes should begin with a wide shot to establish the setting. Then, cut in to a medium shot,
then to close-ups for details.

Rule Of Thirds:
Imagine the screen is divided into a 3 x 3 grid.
Place the center of interest near one of the
four cross-points for a stronger composition.
