I did the framing assignment on the quad. What I found interesting was that it really forces you to focus on one specific part of where you are and it definitely did not feel very comfortable to not be able to look around you to what was going on everywhere, outside the frame. People in the frame walking were just there for a couple of seconds whereas normally you could see a person walking for one minute at least. It was hard at first to really just look in the frame and not have your eyes wander outside the frame. This exercise really made me think about the idea that filmmakers really think about what they want within the frame and that nothing is really not thought through. While sitting on the quad, I realized that certain areas around the quad were more interesting than others because it was either a prettier scenery or just more people walking in front of a certain area, therefore having more things happening. Therefore, like filmmakers, based on those differences I chose what I wanted in the frame and what I thought looked better to observe. I tested out different angles and came to the conclusion that having the frame show the entrance of farinon was the most interesting, with people coming in and out of the frame from every angle.
