What are the construction methods?

There are nine commonly used composition methods.

1. Central composition method: Central composition is to put the subject in the center of the picture for composition. The biggest advantage of this composition method is that the main body is prominent and clear, and the picture is easy to achieve the effect of left and right balance. This is especially effective for rigorous, solemn and decorative photography.

2. Horizontal line composition method: Horizontal line composition is the most basic composition method, mainly horizontal lines. Horizontal and stretched lines can show a broad, stable and harmonious feeling, which is often used in lakes, water surfaces, grasslands and so on.

3. Vertical line composition method: Vertical line composition means that vertical lines are dominant in the picture. Usually, when the composition is composed with vertical lines, the subject itself conforms to the characteristics of vertical lines, such as trees. Vertical line is a symbolic symbol in people's minds, which can fully show the height and depth of the scene.

4. Three-point composition method: Three-point composition method, also known as tic-tac-toe composition method, is a common composition method in photography, design and other arts. In this method, the scene needs to be divided by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, so that four intersections can be obtained, and the picture can be focused on one of the four intersections.

5. Symmetric composition method: Symmetric composition refers to making the scene in the picture symmetrical or centered according to a certain symmetry axis or center. It is often used to photograph buildings, tunnels and so on. If it is not completely symmetrical in the early stage, it can also be corrected and cut in the later stage.

6. Diagonal composition method: Diagonal composition refers to the arrangement of subjects along the diagonal direction of the picture, aiming at expressing feelings such as movement, instability or vitality. Different from the traditional horizontal and vertical composition, diagonal composition makes the picture more stretched and full, and the audience's visual experience is more intense.

7. Guiding line composition method: Guiding line composition method, that is, guiding the viewer's eyes with lines to make them converge on the focus of the picture. The guiding line is not necessarily a specific line, but all directional and continuous lines can be called guiding lines. In reality, roads, rivers, colors, shadows and even people's eyes can be used as guiding lines.

8. Picture composition method: Picture composition, that is, the composition method of framing the picture, will guide the viewer to pay attention to the scenery in the picture and produce the feeling of entering the picture through the door frame. Because the brightness of the picture is often darker than the brightness of the scene in the picture, the contrast between light and dark is large, so we should pay attention to the problems of overexposure of the scene and underexposure of the picture.

9. Repeated composition method: repeated composition method, that is, when the subject is a group of the same things, the composition method of taking pictures of this group of subjects at the same time. Monotonous repetition of unified objects, occupying the whole picture without obvious clutter, can also play a prominent role.
