Look room is the amount of space in front of a subjects gaze. You should follow the rule of thirds and position the subjects eyes on the top third line on an intersect point, leaving a space of 2/3 in front of their face (unless you want to use short-siding to emphasize tension in your film). This is important because it mimics social interactions in real life. Your gaze follows the space between two people having a conversation (the look room space) and ignores the space behind them. Lead room is the space in front of a moving subject. This is important because it gives the viewer a sense of direction and allows them to see where the subject is heading. You can also break this rule to create a feeling of claustrophobia for your audience.
