shot types practice

This is a median close up taken against the window. Usually when shots are taken next to the window the lighting affects the shot making it inaccurate and darkening the subject. However this shot lighting is not that bad.  The framing is good because it adheres to the rule of thirds and the top of the head is cut.

This was an above the shoulder clip using the rule of thirds. The framing is accurate as it doesn't spare any space. However the lighting here seems to be way too bright, perhaps because thee camera is positioned in a place where the light comes from the window and makes them too bright in front of the camera.

This is an example of a very bad shot. There is a lot of space around Rachel's head and it doesn't follow the rule of thirds.

This s an example of a nice mid shot where there isn't much spare space in the framing and again follows the rule of thirds. The top of the head cut is also a good indicator that the framing is accurate.

This is another example of a bad shot. The eyeliner is lower than the rule of thirds, there is too much spare space around. Also, as it taken next to the window, this is an example of a bad lighting. The background (the window) is rather bright and Rachel is too dark. 

This is a tight framed close up on the foot, about to go down to the ground.

We could have don an extreme close up on the feet and the phone, as that is an important prop it is getting stepped on.
This is an example of a good extreme close up. The face is centralised so there aren't any spare space. The framing is also accurate because it follows the rule of thirds. Here is a good example of lightning, as the shot is taken from the opposite side to the window. 

"The rule of thirds proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections."
