Rule of Thirds: With rule of thirds you get your shot and basically imagine it split into thirds so you have 9 parts. This highlights four placing points of interest, as seen below:
In theory you place your subject in the points of intersection or along the lines so that your shot becomes more balanced and the viewer can interact with the shot more naturally.
At 0:02 we see rule of thirds being used here as two people are based in the intersection points meaning the audiences eyes are automatically drawn to them. This is effective because it gives the characters the attention they need for the following scene.
Depth of Field: Depth of field refers to the range of distances from the camera at which acceptably sharp focus can be obtained
Deep Focus: A deep focus is when all of the shot i.e the foreground, middle-ground and background, are clear and sharp.
(Time 1:26) I believe deep focus is used here because it draws the attention to all the operating tools used. I believe this is effective because it shows how serious and intense the moment is.
Shallow Focus: This is the opposite of a deep focus shot. Therefore meaning instead of everything in the shot being in focus, only the subject in the shot is whilst things like the background etc. are all out of focus.
(Time 1:14) I believe a shallow focus is used here so all the audience's attention is at the character's facial expressions and therefore it is effective because we see the distress on her face.
Focus Pulls: A focus shot is when you change the focus during a shot i.e when you change the focus from one subject to another. This is very useful in capturing the audiences attention.
I believe a focus pulls composition is used at 3:45 to draw the attention from one character's speech to the facial expression of the other. I believe this is effective because we can see how the other character reacts to what is being said.
