STV (NTSC) Aspect Ratio 3 units 4 units The aspect ratio is the width-to-height proportion of the picture. The 4: 3 ratio was consistent with motion pictures that predated the wide screen aspect ratios used in Cinema. Scope, Vista-Vision and Panavision films Although the number of scanning lines may have varied, all of the television systems had the same 4: 3 aspect ratio.
HDTV Aspect Ratio 3 units 16 units 4 units 9 units 16 units HDTV uses a 16: 9 aspect ratio, which is a multiple of the 4: 3 ratio. The most commonly used wide-screen movie format is slightly larger than 16: 9 (although the difference is insignificant). However, at 2. 35: 1 the Cinema. Scope aspect ratio is considerably wider than 16: 9.

Matching STV & HDTV Aspect Ratios letterbox Making the entire frame of a wide-screen movie fit into the 4 x 3 aspect ratio of STV results in empty screen space at the top and bottom of the screen. pillarbox When showing a standard 4 x 3 television picture on the 16 x 9 screen, there are empty dead zones, or side bars, on both sides of the screen.

Television pictures are two-dimensional You must create the impression of depth.
Television pictures are moving pictures You must consider the effects of motion.
` The cameras should not be more than 45 degrees from a head-on shot for a good close-up. Crossing camera angles camera 1 always on the left 45° 1 2 Optimum angles for close-ups camera 2 always on the right

Screen Forces–Headroom
Screen Forces–Headroom The longer the shot, the more headroom it should have.
Screen Forces–Graphic Vectors Graphic vectors suggest a direction through lines or a series of objects that form a line.
Screen Forces–Graphic Vectors Horizontal lines suggest calmness, and tranquility. Vertical lines invoke a sense of energy, instability, or excitement.
Screen Forces–Graphic Vectors Vertical vectors are usually stronger visual forces than horizontal vectors.
Screen Forces–Index Vectors Index vectors point unquestionably in a specific direction.
Screen Forces–Motion Vectors Motion vectors are created by an object or a screen image in motion.
Stage subjects for the most pleasing shot Two prime objects can divide composition. An odd number of prime objects (one, three, or five) is generally better.
Balance § is the relative structural stability of the various picture elements (objects or events) § balance can be symmetrical or asymmetrical § balance can be stable (little pictorial tension), neutral (some tension), or unstable (high pictorial tension) § one picture element does not outweigh the other, either in mass, color, or movement.
Symmetry and Balance Symmetrical Balance Asymmetrical Balance
Symmetrical Balance
This is not a good shot. . . unless something is added to balance the frame
Symmetry and Balance Symmetrical Balance Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical Balance and the Rule of Thirds If major pictorial elements are placed at the points where the lines intersect, the result is a more pleasing balance than if perfect symmetry is achieved.
Equilibrium and Balance Stable Neutral Unstable
Stable Equilibrium
Stable equilibrium has little pictorial tension
Equilibrium and Balance Stable Neutral Unstable
Neutral Equilibrium When somebody looks, points, or moves in a particular direction other than straight into the camera, you must leave some space in that direction. Stable Neutral
Neutral Equilibrium When someone points to screen -right or screenleft, you must leave room in the direction of the pointing to balance the picture.
Noseroom or Leadroom
Noseroom or Leadroom BAD without noseroom the person seems to be blocked by the screen edge, and the picture looks unbalanced BETTER BEST the more profile the person shows, the more space you must leave in front of the person to maintain proper balance

Facilitating Closure Beyond The Frame In this shot we perceive the whole figure of the person and her guitar although we see only part of them. This shot gives us sufficient clues to project the figure beyond the frame and apply psychological closure in the off-screen space.

Closure—group subjects in familiar geometric patterns
Closure— familiar geometric patterns Geometric patterns add interest and often represent leading lines.
Closure— familiar geometric patterns Patterns are interesting and pleasing to look at. Ideally, they should also set the scene and supply a visual context for the story.
Closure Isn’t Always Positive– Illogical Closure
Closure Isn’t Always Positive– Illogical Closure This ad appeared in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The unfortunate photographic illusion was quickly noticed (look at the bike seat) and action was taken to correct the advertisement, but not before the image made it to the news stand. They should have used a bike seat that was not tan in color! This was also featured on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Depth Staging The over-the-shoulder shot is more dynamic, interesting, and aesthetically pleasing than the flat two-shot. By shooting the person from an angle, a more vigorous effect can be achieved than with a formal head-on flat shot.
Depth Staging Include a prominent foreground piece in your shot to separate the foreground, middleground, and background.

Title Beyond Essential Area On the preview monitor, When viewed on the you can still see the home receiver, the complete title, although it information that lies comes close to the edges. outside the essential area is lost.
Out-of-Aspect-Ratio Graphic When trying to frame this out-of-aspect-ratio graphic in its entirety, most of the information becomes difficult to read if not totally illegible. When you try to get a closer shot, all information outside the aspect ratio is lost.
Aspect Ratio Problem Normal writing on a whiteboard can present a typical aspect ratio problem. The camera cannot show a close-up of a message that spans the full width of the whiteboard.
Proper Use of Aspect Ratio If the whiteboard is divided into proper aspect ratio fields, the camera can see the entire message even in a close-up.

Screen Clutter letterbox pillarbox This screen has so much unrelated information that it is difficult to make sense of it amid the visual clutter.
Proper Structure of Multiple Screen Elements letterbox pillarbox This arrangement of these multiple screens and information areas makes it relatively easy to seek out the desired information.
Block Organization of Titles When titles are arranged in blocks, related information is graphically organized for easy perception.
Scattered Titles When titles are scattered, the information is difficult to read.
Bold Letters Over a Busy Background This title reads well despite the busy background. The letters are bold and differ sufficiently in brightness from the background.
High-Energy Colors The energy of color is determined by its saturation. High-energy colors are highly saturated hues, usually at the red and yellow end of the spectrum. They are especially effective when set against a low-energy background.
Low-Energy Colors Low-energy colors are desaturated hues. Most pastel colors are low-energy.
