Best practice for positioning Talent:
Keep talent within left 50% of frame
Knee-up or waist-up framing of talent
Talent will gesture to the left/right (depending on template) with any direct reference to inventory
Ensure that talent’s gestures/body (other than legs/feed) are not moving out of frame.
