Framing and Composition...

It is important that when organising your composition you should arrange the framing so that the focal point is complimented, this way the audience's eye will automatically be drawn there.

It is also important to remember the Rule of Thirds when planning yours shots.

With this grid in mind the 'rule of thirds' now identifies four important parts of the image that you should consider as points of interest, which you should then use as a guide to put the important parts of your image on these points. Not only this but it also gives you four 'lines' that are useful positions for elements in your photo.
If there is people in the frame their eyes should be roughly a third of the way down the frame, this will make sure that the whole of their head is in the frame which is key in having a good composition.

Leading space - Refers to the space in front of a moving subject, for example a person walking or a moving vehicle. This may also be referred to as nose room, or look space. Without the right amount of lead space, the frame will look awkward.

Head space - The amount of space between the top of the subject’s head and the top of the frame. Leaving too much headroom wastes frame space and makes your subject appear to be sinking. In a close up, too little headroom draws the viewer’s eye to the chin and neck, rather than the eyes.
