2. Rule of Thirds
How is this compositional technique used?
The rule of thirds is one of the most well known techniques, the frame is split up into thirds (the rule of three) there is intercepting points which are
the crossing points of the lines. By placing subjects of interests onto the intercepting points gives an eye-catching look. By splitting the frame into
thirds you can do a foreground, middle ground and background which again is pleasing to the eye, this is especially used in landscape photography.
3. Leading Lines
How is this compositional technique used?
Leading lines are lines that are naturally there to help guide you through an image. When taking an image you do not want the image to be flat. These
lines can be organic or man made and they all create a guide to lead to the back of the image. These lines also help frame the subject.
4. Diagonal Lines
How is this compositional technique used?
Diagonal lines are used to create movement or tension within an image. They are used similarly to leading lines.
5. Framing
How is this compositional technique used?
Framing is a technique that uses natural/ manmade windows, doors and gaps. The subject within an image will be framed within these specific
boundaries as it helps draw the eye to these features. When using framing, lighting is very important as you must use a bold colour or dark colour to
frame around the subject.
6. Filling the Frame
How is this compositional technique used?
Filling the frame means getting close to your subject. The closer the subject is to the lens the more interactive the image will be for the viewer.
7. Repetition
How is this compositional technique used?
Repetition can be pleasing for the eye as it gives off a neat final look. Repetition involves any pattern or style that repeats throughout the image.
8. Symmetry
How is this compositional technique used?
Similarly to repetition, symmetry can be very pleasing to the eye.
