Framing & Composition: The frame is the picture you see in the viewfinder (or on a monitor). Composition refers to the layout of everything within a picture frame — what the subject is, where it is in the frame, which way it's facing/looking, the background, the foreground, lighting, etc.
When you "frame" a shot, you adjust the camera position and zoom lens until your shot has the desired composition.
Here are few more important terms. They will be explained in greater detail later:
| Pan | Side-to-side camera movement. |
| Tilt | Up-and-down camera movement. |
| Zoom | In-and-out camera movement (i.e. closer and more distant). |
| Iris (Exposure) | The opening which lets light into the camera. A wider iris means more light and a brighter picture. |
| White balance | Adjusting the colours until they look natural and consistent. |
| Shutter | Analogous to the shutter in a still camera. |
| Audio | Sound which is recorded to go with the pictures. |
