Composition

What you'll learn in this step:

Composition is an important aspect of art making, and it requires knowledge and planning. It can be achieved by using five different techniques, such as contrast, isolation, placement, convergence and the use of the unusual. The principles of design, such as balance, proportion, movement, rhythm, harmony, unity, emphasis and variety, can also be used to create a strong composition.

What you'll learn in this step:

This step is about photo composition and the use of leading lines. Leading lines are linear elements in a photo such as a road or a pathway wire or cable or even a firework. These lines can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal and are meant as a way to highlight what you want people to see in your photo. Dave de Bourgh from de Bourgh photography is a New Jersey based professional photographer that specializes in dance and theater and offers low-cost online classes and digital photography for both kids and adults.

This video is a part of a full course called Basic Shooting. In this video, we will discuss the basic rules of composition including aspect ratio, the rule of thirds, framing, balance, leading lines, and depth of field. By the end of this video, you will have learned what makes a good shot and how to achieve one yourself. Composition is the art of arranging objects in a frame to tell a story and emphasize certain elements. This video will teach you how to do this effectively in order to create a visually pleasing frame."

What you'll learn in this step:

This video is about natural framing, a type of composition used in photography to create better concentration for viewers. It can be achieved through using man-made structures such as doorways or mirrors, or organic elements such as people or shadows. It is important to use natural framing sparingly, as it can quickly become overused, and to make sure that it does not distract from the intended subject. Lastly, subtlety is key when using natural framing, as too much can be distracting."

What you'll learn in this step:

This step will teach you about diagonal and s-curve compositions in art. Diagonal compositions often show energy and movement, while s-curve compositions are soothing and lead the viewer's eye through the piece. You will use a reference photo and a rule of thirds grid to help create the composition. You will then apply values to the sketch to give it depth and perspective. Finally, you will use pencils, color pencils, or watercolors to shade the sketch."

What you'll learn in this step:

In this step you'll learn about how to show connection between two characters without saying a word. This is done through camera placement, specifically using an over the shoulder (OTS) shot. This is a popular tool used by filmmakers to create a subconscious connection between two characters. Additionally, single shots can be used to disconnect characters and signal isolation. This is demonstrated in a scene from the HBO series Westworld, where the creator of the park Dr. Robert Ford and head of quality assurance Theresa Cullen are having a private conversation."

What you'll learn in this step:

In this step you'll learn about five framing rules and five ways to break them. The first rule is the Rule of I-Level Framing which is about placing the camera at eye level with the subject. The second rule is about placing the subject on the left side of the frame and having them look to the right. The third rule is the Rule of Thirds which is about placing the subject on the left or right third of the frame. The fourth rule is about adequate headroom when framing a medium shot. The fifth rule is the 180 degree rule which is about not crossing the line between two characters facing each other."

What you'll learn in this step:

This tutorial is about anamorphic filmmaking, using two lenses from Siri. Tom Antos will be using a packet 4K camera and a Red camera to demonstrate how optics, lighting, composition, and production design are more important than the camera itself. In Part 2, he will discuss camera movement and how it can be used to add emotion to a film."

What you'll learn in this step:

This step covers the mathematical formula of 1.61, which is Fibonacci's number, and how it can be used in photography to create a composition. The rule of thirds is the simplest way to break down an image and is used most often by photographers. However, sometimes it is necessary to break the rules for balance. Image balance is an important compositional element and can be achieved by shifting the subject away from the rule of thirds. Lastly, negative space is also an important part of composition and should be taken into consideration when creating a composition.

What you'll learn in this step:

This content is about composition in photography. It talks about four rules to consider when composing a photograph. The first rule is about balance - how important it is to have equal visual weight in a photograph. The second rule is about flow - how the elements in the photograph can lead the viewer's eye around the image. The third rule is about symmetry and asymmetry and how they can be used to create balance. The fourth rule is about colour - how certain colours can be used to create balance in an image.

What you'll learn in this step:

In this video, James Maron talks about blocking in filmmaking. Blocking is important for creating frames with an intention behind them, as well as for lighting and camera movement. Blocking can be used to create multiple frames within a scene, as well as to show emotion and power dynamics. Improvisational blocking can be used to heighten tension in a scene. Whatever type of blocking is used, there should be an intention behind it."

What you'll learn in this step:

In this step you'll learn about character framing and shot composition. Character framing is about assigning one character to one side of the frame and the other to the other side. Shot composition is about creating an intimate moment between the characters by having one of them move the other into their space. This is done by having the characters in the corner of the frame and having one of them take up the majority of the frame. An example of this can be seen in the show 'Criminal Fire' where Bellamy takes Clarke into his side of the frame."

This content is about Ben Futrell and his top seven composition tips for landscape photography. Tip number one is to create depth in your images, tip number two is to find a way to frame your subject, tip number three is to use leading lines and tip number four is to capture movement. Ben shares examples of how to use each of these tips in his photography.

What you'll learn in this step:

This content is about five tips for better film composition. Tip number one is about framing, where it is often advisable to have the eye level at 66% of the picture's height. Tip number two is about Iterations, where it is important to have a well-designed frame. Tip number three is about vocal lengths, which can change the distance to an object and create a different picture. Tip number four is about close-ups, which are important to show emotion. Tip number five is about the 180 degree rule, which is important to remember when placing the camera to avoid confusing the audience.

What you'll learn in this step:

In this composition lesson, you'll learn about leading the eye. This technique is used to control the viewer's eye so they stay on the page. Framing the image by darkening the edges or creating a spotlight is an example of leading the eye. Symbols, like arrows, and people's eyes can also be used to lead the eye to the area of most interest.

What you'll learn in this step:

Composition is a term used to describe the way visual elements in an artwork are arranged. It is important to use composition to make sure the story in the artwork is readable. Contrast, faces, guiding lines, color, shape, value and activity are all ways to help direct the viewer's eye towards the desired focal point. Rules of composition, such as the rule of thirds, the golden ratio, centered composition, symmetry, and golden triangles, can help create aesthetically pleasing artworks.

What you'll learn in this step:

This video is about a Japanese commercial breakdown for the delivery service company Yamato. The commercial uses story structure, lighting, framing and composition to convey the company's services and benefits. The commercial opens with a beautiful establishing shot and then transitions to a close-up of the lady using an application to order her drugs. The commercial ends with the lady moving across the frame and in line with the tagline "Move Ahead of Future".

What you'll learn in this step:

This video from Megapixel Beast is about 5 photography composition rules. Composition is about guiding the viewers eye towards the most important element of a photograph. The first rule is the Rule of Thirds which involves breaking the image into nine parts and placing the primary subject in an intersection or along the lines. The second rule is Leading Lines which helps to direct the viewers eye and give clues about the image. The third rule is Frame Within A Frame which uses foreground elements to frame the primary subject. The fourth rule is the Rule of Odds which involves using an odd number of elements in the image. The last rule is Symmetry which involves having equal weightage on both sides of the image.

What you'll learn in this step:

This presentation is about mastering the art of composition. Composition is a visual structure imposed upon an artistic expression and involves the selection and arrangement of visual elements. The presenter talks about different tools of composition that can be used to make more compelling photographs, such as foreground and near-far composition. They also discuss the importance of creating a visual progression from the bottom of the picture to the top to create depth and draw the viewer in.

What you'll learn in this step:

In this step, you'll learn about leading lines. Leading lines are visual elements that guide the viewer as to where to focus in a picture or video. They can be man-made elements such as roads, fences, bridges, and buildings, or natural elements like trees, bodies of water, land masses, and rock formations. Leading lines can be used to point to important elements in a photo or video, or to link two important elements together. They can also be implied through pointing fingers, eyes, or other objects.

This step from the Shooting 101 photography fundamentals course is all about the importance of triangles and geometric shapes in composition. The chapter covers how to recognize and apply triangles in photographs, from more obvious examples to more subtle ones. It also explains the concept of the Golden Triangle and how it can be used to create interesting compositions. Finally, the chapter covers how to use leading lines, perspective, and directional light to create triangles in your images.

What you'll learn in this step:

The Fibonacci Sequence, also known as the Golden Spiral or the Phi Ratio, is a mathematical formula found in nature. It is an infinite sequence of numbers taking the sum of the two previous numbers. It is used to frame shots better than the Rule of Thirds, by placing the subject on the 0.618 of the image or on a fyg raid. Filmmaker Ollie Shirazi made a video essay on the mathematical composition of Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, revealing several uses of the Fibonacci Ratio in his framing. The Golden Spiral can be used to invoke a sense of balance in a scene or to have a powerful and dynamic glance composition.
