Practice question · True or false
Burch divided off-frame space into four segments, one beyond each edge of the frame.
Hints
- Count the directions in which something can be out of shot.
- Two of the segments are not beyond an edge at all.
Show the answer
False
Why
False: there are six. Beyond the four edges, yes, but also behind the camera and behind the set or the scenery. The last is the one a doorway, a mirror or an open window puts to work, and leaving it out of the count is how students end up thinking off-frame space is only about margins.
