Compositional Framing.
Composition framing is about how you arrange the elements within your photo or video. It's a key aspect of visual storytelling. Here's a simple way to understand it:
Compositional Framework | Description |
---|---|
Rule of Thirds | Divides the frame into a grid of nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines. Points of interest are often placed along these lines or at their intersections. |
Golden Ratio | Utilizes the Golden Ratio (approximately 1.618) to create a visually pleasing balance and proportion in the composition. |
Leading Lines | Incorporates lines within the frame that guide the viewer's eyes toward the main subject or key elements of the image. |
Symmetry | Emphasizes balance and symmetry by placing the main subject or elements symmetrically within the frame. |
Framing | Utilizes objects or elements within the scene to frame the main subject, drawing attention to it and adding depth to the composition. |
Diagonals | Incorporates diagonal lines or elements to create a sense of movement, dynamism, or depth within the composition. |
Fill the Frame | Fills the frame entirely or nearly entirely with the main subject, eliminating unnecessary distractions and emphasizing details. |
Negative Space | Utilizes empty or negative space around the main subject to create a sense of simplicity, minimalism, or isolation. |
Overlapping Elements | Overlaps elements within the composition to create depth and layering, adding visual interest and a sense of dimension. |
S-Curve | Incorporates curved lines or elements that resemble the shape of an "S," guiding the viewer's eyes through the composition. |
