Composition: using the principles and elements of art to create the best shot possible (emphasis, balance, unity, repetition, figure/ground relationship & line, shape, texture, space, color, and value)
Rule of Thirds: place the focal point (usually subject) on a hotspot & fill 2/3 of space with subject or positive space.
Rule of ThirdsMentally divide the screen into 9 equal areas (thirds each way). The points where the lines come together are called hot spots. Keep your focal point on a hot spot.
Rule of ThirdsMentally divide the screen into 9 equal areas (thirds each way). Your subject (or positive space) should fill about 6 of the spaces - 2/3 of the screen.

Talking/Walking Room: leave space in front of where your subject is moving or speaking to.
Mergers: with the loss of 3-dimensions on a video screen, subjects can become one with the background causing items to merge together.
MergersSimply change the location to avoid mergers between your subject and the background.
(Figure-Ground Relationship)
MergersSimply change the angle to avoid mergers between your subject and the other objects.

NO Flat Shots: Give your shots a sense of depth by shooting foreground, middle ground, and background in the shot at an angle.
