In the very first shot of 'Sweet Revenge' we see a shift in the depth-of-field. Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears 'in focus'/acceptably sharp. This creates a gradual transition and moves the audience's attention to another location on the screen, almost without them noticing.

The 'Circle of Confusion' was used to see at what point the focus was acceptably focused and when filming I altered the focus ring depending on what degree of focus was required.

This technique is used in many thriller feature films such as James Bond, so we employed this technique to keep up to date with the latest, most most creative techniques.

Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds states than an image is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds. This creates good composition, and not only gives the audience a good view of the main subject but also a good view of the surrounding mise-en-scene.
A grid is used to help co-ordinate the shot.
