| Head Room |
Head Room Head room is the space between the top of a subject's head and the top of the screen frame. |
 |
| In this shot, there is too much head room. It gives a feeling that the subject is sinking, and it makes your subject look small. |  |
| The shot on the right shows insufficient head room. The subject's head is cut off and is hitting the top of the screen frame. |  |
To determine proper head room in a shot, you can apply the rule of thirds.
