TOO MANY RULES!!!!


                                                 

the degree rules 

The 180 degree rule : its important not too cross the line if in a fixed position, if the camera follows round it can be broken the same rule applies to a moving subject if the rule is broken the viewer can be confused.


The 30 degree rule when cutting from a shot to another shot with a different camera angle framing the same subject,the difference must be greater than 30 degrees
if the difference is less than 30 degrees and the subject does not change.

the 3 composition rules 

the therids rule
divides  the the screen into 3 by 3
if the shot is taken on certain points its more aesthetically pleasing instead of taking the shot with the subject in the middle.

the balance rule 
lighter weights can counter balance a heavier weight if it is placed further away from the frame

the frontal angel tends to flatten the three dimensional of facial features and environment angling the shot creates more depth and volume
