The first rule I learned in my tv production class was, "always watch the head room!" In a shot you always have to be aware of the head room and the camera angle. This is because you don't want your shot to be sloppy. Basically as long as your not cutting off the person's head in the shot and as long as you don't have so much room above the person's head that it looks like a "747 could fly above the person's head" your good. With filmmaking, there are a lot of shots to take note of. There are:
- Over the shoulder shot
- POV (point of view)
- close-up
- reaction
- dolly
- establishing shot
- cat in the window shot
- long shot
- medium-long shot
- exterme close-up shot
- crane shot
- blimp shot
- low angle shot
Using a variety of these shots will help make a good film, if you use them correctly. So always remember, "watch the headroom!"
