1. Abstract Wide Shot — A Feeling of Vastness
- Frame empty or open spaces — rooftops, fields, hallways
- Shoot at sunrise, in fog, or with heavy shadows
- Consider adding a voiceover or on-screen text later
- Tripod or slow pan for stability
- Use wide composition for negative space
- Shutter Speed: 1/100s - 1/250s
2. Ripples in Real Life
- Find something organic — water, fabric, curtains
- Use f/2.8–f/4 for softness
- Get close — handheld or tripod
- Optional: shoot in slow motion if available
- Shutter Speed: 1/500s (for slow motion) or 1/1000s
3. Wind on Skin or Hair
- Close-up of hair, skin, or clothing moving in wind
- Use backlight or soft side lighting
- Handheld for a natural feel
- Optional: add soft ambient sound
- Shutter Speed: 1/500s - 1/1000s
4. Footsteps Without a Destination
- Shoot close-up of walking, pacing, or pausing
- Low angle with focus on motion
- Use f/2.8, focus on feet or shadow
- Add puddles, reflections, or dirt for texture
- Shutter Speed: 1/250s - 1/500s
5. Long Shadows
- Look for dramatic shadows indoors or outdoors
- Use f/4+ to emphasize detail
- Diagonal compositions add tension
- Optional: slow pan across the shadow path
- Shutter Speed: 1/250s - 1/500s
6. Found Object or Texture
- Focus on a small, weathered object — bottle, rust, paper
- Use f/2 for soft background
- Get low or shoot top-down
- Frame for mood — cool tones, natural light, stillness
- Shutter Speed: 1/100s - 1/250s
