If you watch almost any recent TV show or dramatic film, you'll see they are mostly a sequence of one good portrait after another. They often start with a wide angle establishing shot, then go to closer and closer compositions, often with an ECU (extreme close up). They should give you lots of great ideas for compositions at various perspectives.
