Arrangement of the frame
A director knows what is going on inside his/her head, and where the story will take place with imagining the character, location, set up, etc. For a cinematographer to understand how to take a shot I have mentioned about the elements of the pre production such as the screenplay, short division or the story boarding stage. This makes the cinematographer not only understand the story, but also gets to see what is almost exactly going into a director's mind, helping the film to execute just the way it is imagined to be. But before taking a particular shot it is but obvious that the arrangement of the frame should be done in a proper manner for the scene to look perfect as well. The arrangement of the frame will include the elements which is the props being placed at the right place, with the characters, and even the set up being balanced as well. Until, and unless the frame is not arranged in a proper way then the scene will be destroyed. It's very essential for a film maker to make sure that the arrangement of the frame is taken care so that it will make the story look real as well connect the audience. The foreground, midground, and the background should be arranged in an appropriate manner with the support of the required elements, including the characters of the story, helping the shot to look perfect as well. Cinematographers are also the ones especially who looks upon the fault points where the shot is lacking, and will also have the liberty to improvise the particular shot which is to be taken. Making a film is not just a random thing. Everything is very detailed, including the movement of the characters to the positioning of the props. The arrangement of the frame is itself done on set when the cast is told to stay in their position, and where the other elements are positioned as well, but a clever film maker will ensure go into the detailing part where the shot will look perfect in the frame through the view finder of the camera. Due to the arrangement of the frame the camera angles are also dependent on it obviously. For example if you character is placed in the left side of the frame with the prop which is the glass on the right side. The positioning should be done in such a manner that the shot will not be very complicated.
So as a film maker especially a witty one make sure that the arrangement of the frame is perfect for the shot to be taken in a much better manner, making the scene as well look flawless on screen.
