# Framing and Composition

Framing and composition basics

## StudioBinder Shot List

Let's use StudioBinder's [YouTube tutorial series "The Shot List"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyML8xuKfoc\&list=PLEzQZpmbzckV0_a2QCO2qF9Yfe-LKSDha) as an organizing principle for thinking about framing and composition. 

The first four videos are broken down roughly along the following topics:

* Shot size - establishing, master, wide, medium, close up, etc.
* Framing - single (clean/dirty), two shot, OTS, POV, insert, (and cutaways, which aren't mentioned explicitly)
* Shot angle - straight, low, high, dutch
* Depth of field - shallow, deep, rack focus

For a more in-depth overview, please see:
