Key Points
We covered a lot of ground in this chapter, and we’ll return to these concepts many times throughout this book. Here is what I want you to remember:
The camera represents the point of view of the audience.- Images, even still images, tell stories and evoke emotional responses in the viewer.
- The eye looks at, and explores, an image based on the Six Priorities of where the eye looks first.
- The mind assumes, when it sees a frame, that there is nothing outside the frame.
- Blocking is the process of positioning elements and the camera to create the best image for the story you want to tell.
- Framing is the process of determining where the frame is placed around the image.
- There are many techniques we can use when we capture or create an image that will enhance the story we are telling and generate an emotional response in the audience.
