This document discusses various compositional techniques for visually framing objects in photographs, including the rule of thirds, minimalism, horizontal lines, binary compositions, triangular compositions, and circular compositions. It notes that objects placed in different areas of the frame using these techniques can take on different meanings and draw the viewer's eye in certain ways, but the rules can also be purposefully broken at times.
Composition - Placement of object 2015
- 1. Placement of Objects within the Frame
- 2. WHY? •To make the frame visually interesting •Aesthetically pleasing •To express ideas/ meaning without the need for words
- 6. Top or Bottom •Something place at the top of the Rule of thirds is often made to look strong and dominate, esp if they take up two thirds of the space •Something placed at the bottom looks weak and vulnerable.
- 8. Left or Right •Object placed on the left hand side are often more important, strong, dominate and in control. Our eye is drawn to the left first •Also look carefully at whether or not one object is closer to the front of the frame (foreground) = more important
- 10. But we can be tricked…
- 11. MINIMALISM Composition •Removing clutter •Prominent subject •Eye catching as our eyes are naturally draw to the focal point
- 16. LEVEL HORIZONTAL LINES •Adds stability •Can create a sense of peace and rest •Can be used to draw attention to something or frame something
- 19. Binary Composition • Suggest the object are equal but often we have to look at how close or far apart they are to work out relationships
- 20. This shot has a binary composition. The two characters are facing each other, standing in almost the same position. Their standing also gives the shot a strong vertical sense. This shot has a binary composition. The two characters are standing in almost the same position, side by side and close together. They have equal power and a close relationship .
- 22. Triangular Composition • Triadic compositions stress the dynamic interplay among the three elements or the strength of an individual who is normally centered in the frame and the apex of the triangle
- 24. Circle Composition • Suggest security, collectiveness, enclosure
- 26. RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN?
Editor's Notes
- #29: Deep depth of field or deep focus
- #30: Framing
- #31: Lower third – weak, in danger
- #32: Vertical – unbalanced, unsettling for the audience
- #36: Framing
- #37: Shallow depth of field – character importantr
- #38: Relationship Lucy on the left – more imporatnt
- #39: Still close but now Mr Tumnus is the focus
