The frame defines and reveals a two-dimensional “slice” of the world created by the filmmakers.
Space
Framing – The size and position of the world and the subject within the limits of the frame.
The perceived distance relationship of the camera (viewer) to the subject.

Framing
• Close-up: A shot framed to emphasize the human head or face, or something of the same approximate size of the human head. Abbreviated CU. Variations: Extreme Close-up, Shoulder shot.

Framing
• Close-up:
“We used a lot of close-ups. For me, the close-up is one of the great inventions of the 20th century; it allows an audience to sit in a dark room and stare into the eyes of a person who's emoting without being self-conscious.”
Darren Aronofsky on “Black Swan”
American Cinematographer

“Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. It is a land one can never tire of exploring. There is no greater experience in a studio than to witness the expression of a sensitive face under the mysterious power of inspiration. To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry.”

Moment by moment, the filmmakers define the visual perspective, or “angle” of the viewer to the subject in space.
Space
Camera Angle - The position/perspective of the camera (viewer) to the subject.
SpaceCamera Angle - The position/perspective of the camera (viewer) to the subject.
• Eye Level - Camera is placed level with the eyes of the subject.
SpaceCamera Angle - The position/perspective of the camera (viewer) to the subject.
• Eye Level - Camera is placed level with the eyes of the subject.
• Low Angle - Camera is below the subject looking up on it. Since this is the child’s perspective of an adult, the low angle is thought to strengthen the subject. Anyone above your view is a superior, threatening or dominant.
