Framing things is weird. It was really challenging trying to fill the frame with close ups. I don’t know if that is because I was using a small piece of cardboard or if I’m special but I found that part really challenging. Framing from far away seemed to be much easier. It was easier to fill the empty space and adjust for distance. When using human subjects I found it hard to find the right amount of headspace (granted they did not give me a lot of time before they walked away). I don’t know if I’m suppose to put their hair just out of the frame, or what, but I do think I’ll figure that out more once I get behind a camera. This project made me curious about the different aspect ratios and how Wes Anderson does the things that he does. Composing shots proved to be cumbersome with cardboard, I hope it is easier to do with a camera.
