Things to consider when filming

 The 180 degree rule is very important when filming. If the audience see a character on the right hand side throughout a scene, by shooting from the opposite side, the right sided character would then appear on the left. This would confused people as the characters would keeps switchng from side to side making the scene less smooth and giving it a joulty look.

The rule of thirds is important when filming. It attracts the audience's eye to where the layers over lap. This picture is a prime example of this, the wasps eye is on a direct corner of where 4 lines over lap. Eye contact is a personal thing and is where your eye genuinelly focuses. The animal is the main focus of the picture and lays directly in the middle of the screen because it's most important.

Framing a landscape shot is also very important. Point's of interest need to be visible with ease, this makes the shot a lot more interesting as there are objects of varying distances. Not only does it make the audience feel like they are in the scenery due to the clear life like shot but it is a way to keep the main focus of the shot (the house) in the centre of the scene but not losing the audience's interest by the scenery becomming boring. Varying distances and heights of objects is a key way to do this and the camera should be positioned accordingly to avoid the shot looking dull.

The rule of diagonals. By using this technique, it allows you to see a main focus of the shot but by keeping the camera on a slight angle. It works almost as a hint on the scenery to guide the eye to the main focus, it doesn't need to be an actual line. It could be a natural occuring line such as a path but keeping the picture in that diagonal format. A harsh straight diagonal line across the picture could ruin it as it would look very unnatural and forced upon the photo. A softer natural line which isn't perfect would look alot more effective as it wouldn't be harsh on the eye.
