Filmmakers and Different Shots

  Filmmakers compose their shots to guide the viewers emotions. One reason a filmmaker might frame their shot is to confuse their audience. Breaking a rule will startle the viewer and make them feel uneasy. Another reason a filmmaker may frame a shot differently is to build suspense. Filming from a subjective/POV shot following someone will imply they are being followed. Lastly, a filmmaker may compose their shot to keep the audience interested by using different close ups and long shots to. This will ensure that the audience will want to keep watching to see what happens next.
