HEADROOM & LOOK ROOM

What is headroom? What is lookroom? What lead room? Why are each of these important for your composition?

   Lookroom is the emptiness you leave in front of your subjects face. This space gives the subject room to breathe, it also gives the indication that the person is talking to or looking at someone who is not on the screen. Headroom is the space you should leave between the top of your subjects head and the top end of the frame. By leaving too much space, they will look smaller and smaller. However, by leaving too much room, the subject will look as if they have no forehead or that they are capable of hurting it. These are important  rules to know so you can shoot more professional shots.
