Composition Techniques

There are four main types of composition techniques, and they are; Rule of thirds, Framing, Unusual Angles, and Leading Lines. Rule of thirds is when you get a shot with the subject's eyes on one of the grid lines. It really helps to make your stories a lot more interesting. Framing is when you frame your subject with trees or something. Using Unusual Angles is when you take a shot from an unusual angle. (DUH). They help create interest, just like Rule of thirds. You use Leading Lines by pointing the lines to the subject.

We create

d a video about this in the beginning of the year, and our videos showed how to use certain composition techniques, and how not to. Our video included both Framing and Leading Lines. We showed examples on how to use them, and gave descriptions about them. For Framing we used two trees, and put Kasiah in the middle of them, and for Leading Lines we used Preston, and had him sit on these lines on the sidewalk.
