Framing is the first step to making a visual impact.
Whether sketching a portrait or staging a scene for film, framing allows you to direct the viewer's attention. In cinema, it's not only what you show, but also what you deliberately choose not to show that creates mystery and engagement.
Framing, is the act of putting a window between you and the world. Like tunnel vision, it negates the space around you to focus on the story within the frame.
