CompositionTo look at composition, we start with a “shot”
![Page 12: Sampoorna Biswas - University of British Columbiaudls/slides/udls-sampoorna... · Film Appreciation Part 1: How to Read a Film Sampoorna Biswas.

Long ShotOften uses wide angle lens
Purposes: Show vastness, place
object in its surroundings
Close UpBoth wide angle or telephoto
Purposes: Show small details,
make the scene “intense”
