But first: Perspective
What is Perspective in Art?
1-Point Perspective in film
Is 2-Point Perspective more interesting?
Unstable perspective in Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon.

Consider your shots. Which perspective is best for your goals? Symmetrical or asymmetrical? Flat or deep focus? Wide views or close-up details? Is a high or low angle preferable? Is there any interesting motion taking place in the shot? How does the frame change over time? What sort of shot length will you need to get what you're interested in?

Plan for your edit: What will the arc or progression be? What shots might be needed to link your ideas together?
