 * **rule of thirds -** States that you should mentally divide the frame into thirds, both vertically and horizontally. It will create like a tic-tac-toe board overlaying your screen. When you shoot your video, you should place the subject element along those lines. Where the lines intersect is the best place for your subject. That means that if you were to center your object in the frame it will create a less interesting composition.
 * **shooting through an object - **When the object in front is in focus, but there is importance in what is behind or in the background of the shot.
 * **nose room** - Is the space in front of a moving or stationed subject. A nose room is an important aspect of a shot because it gives a sense of distance or direction to where the subject is facing.
 * **head room** - Is the space between the top of your frame and your subjects head. In both photography and video production, observing the proper head room can spell the difference between and good and a bad shot. A general rule would be for your subjects eyes should be 2/3 up from your framing, giving you enough head room. Observing good head room is applicable in video production.
 * **tripod - **a three-legged support system. It is especially used for videotaping interviews, sunsets, sports events, etc. that are long enough that your arms may get tired from holding up the camera, or where you can only shoot it once and need the video footage to be steady.
 * **hand-held - ** Is any portable device that can be carried and held in one's palm. A handheld can be any computing or electronic device that is compacted and portable enough to be held and used in one or both hands.
 * **why and how might these effect the shot? When might a director use these? - **The director will use these techniques to make sure that he or she has the perfect shot lined up. So they can get the most interesting composition and best quality needed for their shot.
