The difference between horizontal structure and vertical structure

The difference between horizontal composition and vertical composition is as follows:

First of all, the difference

1, the proportion of photos taken by horizontal composition is 4:3, which is very suitable for the viewing habit of human eyes, because people's eyes are horizontal. So we use mobile phone/camera to shoot horizontally, and the ratio of photos taken is 4:3.

2. The contrast of vertical composition is reversed, and the contrast is 3:4, which is not in line with the observation habits of our human eyes. When we shoot vertically with a mobile phone/camera, the photos we take are all 3:4.

II. Applicable themes

Horizontal composition is a cross-sectional perspective, so it is very suitable for shooting large scenes and scenes with wide horizons; Vertical composition is the perspective of vertical section, so vertical composition is very suitable for shooting three-dimensional scenes and tall and majestic scenes.

Third, the specific situation.

1, horizontal composition can well show the grandeur and breadth of the picture and make it look more magnificent. When shooting scenery, architecture, life, travel and other subjects, it is very suitable for shooting with horizontal composition.

2. Vertical composition can well show the height, line sense, three-dimensional sense, contrast between foreground and background of the picture. It is very suitable for vertical composition shooting when shooting subjects with strong sense of depth, three-dimensional sense, strong sense of lines and tall subjects.

Of course, there is no difference between horizontal composition and vertical composition, only whether it is suitable for this theme. If you are not sure, take a picture of horizontal composition first, then take a picture of vertical composition, and finally see whether the horizontal composition is good or the vertical composition is good. Whether it's a horizontal composition or a vertical composition, being able to shoot a film is a good composition.

Fourth, composition

1, composition is a plastic arts term, that is, in painting, according to the requirements of the theme and subject matter, the images to be expressed are properly organized to form a coordinated and complete picture. Refers to the structural configuration method of artistic images in works.

2. It is an important means for plastic arts to express the ideological content of works and gain artistic appeal. Visual arts, especially the skills and terms commonly used in painting, graphic design and photography.
