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.
