Composition and Framing
Framing is the size and position of objects relative to the edges of the screen; the arrangement of objects so that they fit within the actual boundaries of the film.
The rule of thirds involves mentally dividing the frame using 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines so that you can position the objects along these lines, or where they meet. The idea is that an off-centre composition is more pleasing to the eye and looks more natural than one where the subject is placed right in the middle of the frame. It also encourages you to make creative use of negative space, the empty areas around your subject.
Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. It varies depending on camera type, aperture and focusing distance, although print size and viewing distance can also influence our perception of depth of field.
Deep focus is a style or technique of cinematography and staging with great depth of field, using relatively wide-angle lenses and small lens apertures to render in sharp focus near and distant planes simultaneously.
Shallow focus is a function of a narrow depth of field and it implies that only one plane of the frame will remain sharp and clear

The focus pull is a camera technique where the focus is changed during a shot, usually from one subject to another.
