Composition
Techniques
Composing your shot:
 The way everything is arranged in your shot is called the composition. By
paying attention to the framing of your shots, you can improve and enhance
them.
 Be clear on your subject. What story are you trying to tell with the shot?
 Imagine you're painting a picture. You can decide exactly what you want the
painting to look like: Which people or objects are in the painting, where they
are located on the canvas, and what kind of background is in place.
Rule of Thirds:
 Points of interest (the focus of your
image) should be placed at the
intersections of these lines for the
most visually appealing shot.
 Basically, the important stuff should
be kept along the lines and the
focus should be at one of the four
crosses.
Examples:
Shot
Type
Consider these:
Look at this guy…what has he done wrong? If there’s an idea you like, recreate
it…
You don’t have to follow the ‘rules’ – so
long as you justify if in your evaluation…
Student’s example:
Composition: Near or far?
Experiment!
Activity 3:

positioning your
subject, always
consider your
Background

Using leading lines attracts the viewer’s focus where you want it
to go. This type of shot is particularly nice in your double page
spread…

What effect does the road in the background of this image have

Use of diagonal lines:
Tip: When
positioning your
subject, always
consider your
Angle, and the
effect it
creates.
Angles
Focus:
 Adjust the settings on the camera to alter
the depth of field.
 Be thinking about shot composition – what
is in the frame, what are you revealing to
the audience and what are you keeping
hidden?
 Experiment!
