Framing & Composition
“The arrangement of subjects within the frame, including headroom, lead room, and rule-of-thirds placement.”
Plain-English Overview
Framing is how subjects are positioned in the picture. Good composition keeps the subject comfortably placed with correct headroom, leaves space in the direction they face, and frames cleanly around distracting areas.
On-Set & Post-Production Reality
Interview framing follows established conventions, such as the rule of thirds with the subject looking into empty space. Composition also plans for dual delivery by keeping key action inside 16:9 and 9:16 safe zones.
Business & Client Impact
Polished framing makes leadership look professional and confident, and dual-format safe framing protects the edit from awkward crops when vertical versions are produced.
Key Takeaways for Buyers & Marketers
- Rule-of-thirds placement and correct headroom read as professional
- Lead room gives subjects space to speak naturally on camera
- Composition plans for both 16:9 and 9:16 delivery from the start
