Composition Techniques

Composition techniques are a great way to make a photo or video interesting. The main four composition technique are rule of thirds, framing, unusual angles, and leading lines.

You can find the Rule of Thirds in many photographs and in many films. For example, interviews use the rule of thirds to make like the interviewee is talking to the interviewer. The rule of thirds is a helpful guideline that separates a photo of shot into nine equal parts. To use the rule of thirds, you need to align the subject where the two lines intersect. You should put the subjects eyes in the point where the lines intersect. You shouldn't put the subject in the middle, you should put it on the left or right of the guidelines.

Framing can be found in many different photographs and films. To use framing, you need to put the subject in a natural boarder. A boarder can be found in many different things, you could find them by framing with something with trees, buildings, walls, etc.

Unusual Angles are angles that make a photo seem like you are looking at the subject at a different point of view. Unusual angles can make a photo very interesting, for example, if you are trying to make the point of view for a bird, you could take a photo at a high angle.

Finally, there is Leading Lines. Leading lines is a way to make your eyes lead to the subject of the photo or film. Leading lines can be used for both films and photography. They can be found in many different things. For example, you can find leading lines in a field. You could lead the rows in the field to a subject.
