Dear camera teacher, please come in ~ I have a few questions to trouble you ~

1, what is "composition"

The word COMPOSITION is a transliteration of English composition, which is a term of plastic arts. Its meaning is: all the parts are composed, combined, configured and arranged to form an artistic picture. "Composition" in Ci Hai refers to the arrangement and treatment of the relationship and position between people and things in a certain space by artists in order to express the theme and aesthetic effect of their works, and to form individual or partial images into an artistic whole. In China traditional painting, it is called "composition" or "layout". This term contains a basic and general meaning, that is, to unify all the parts that make up the whole, organize the image expressed by the author in a limited space or plane, and form a specific structure of the picture, so as to realize the photographer's performance intention. In a word, composition refers to how to arrange people, scenes and objects in a picture to obtain the best layout, the method of combining images and the sum of all means of revealing images.

Composition also needs to pay attention to artistic skills and means of expression, which is called "craftsman" in China traditional art, and the artist's ingenuity is directly related to the artistic conception of a work. Composition is an important part of vertical form, but it must be based on conception. The composition of a work embodies the author's originality and arrangement skills, and the author's intention and specific methods to express the theme, so it is a concrete embodiment of the author's artistic level. To sum up, the so-called composition, that is, the artist uses visual elements to organize the composition according to space on the screen, is to resort to the coordination of visual points, lines, shapes, light, light and shade and colors in terms of formal beauty.

Composition is an important factor to express the content of a work, so the organization of all photographic visual art languages in the work makes some internal structure of the content properly expressed. Only when the internal structure and external structure are harmonious and unified can a perfect composition be produced.

2. The purpose of the composition

Every theme, whether simple or grand, important or ordinary, contains visual beauty. When we observe the concrete objects in life-people, trees, houses or flowers, we should put aside their general characteristics and regard them as a combination of shape, line, texture, light and shade, color, light consumption and three-dimensional objects. Through the photographer's use of various modeling methods, the shape, color, texture, three-dimensional, dynamic, spatial relationship and other images of the subject are vividly displayed on the screen, so that it conforms to the visual laws of people and is truly felt by the viewers, so as to achieve a satisfactory visual effect-visual beauty. In other words, the composition should be aesthetic. As Rodin said, "Beauty is everywhere. For our eyes, it is not the lack of beauty, but the lack of beauty. " ; As a photographer, I am just good at seeing nature with my eyes and moving this visual feeling to the picture.

But composition cannot be an end in itself, because the basic task of composition is most likely to clarify the artist's ideas.

The purpose of composition is to emphasize and highlight the typical characters or scenery in the idea, so as to abandon the general, superficial, cumbersome and secondary things, properly arrange the foil and choose the environment, make the work higher, stronger, more perfect, more concentrated, more typical and ideal than the real life, and thus enhance the artistic effect. Generally speaking, it is the art of transmitting one's thoughts and feelings to others, which can really express the purpose of composition.

3, the nature of the composition

Composition and design can be universal because they have the same meaning. The precise concept of design and its original meaning is conception, that is, the artist arranges various visual elements properly in order to express his thoughts clearly and vividly.

Composition refers not only to specific operations, but also to describing the whole form as an object associated with complex photographic rules, introducing natural objects into the realm of reality and becoming an independent world different from nature. Any excellent photographic work is a complex unity of thought and art, and the complexity of the work is determined by the complexity of life. But in the picture processing, it is natural, colorful and natural, and there are few traces of axes. What is the reason? The original works are created by photographers, just like "craftsmen build houses". After some selection, refining, planning and arrangement, great efforts have been made in the organizational structure, which reflects the photographer's understanding and ingenuity in "career positioning and layout". Therefore, we must make a series of organizational arrangements, skillfully think about the structure, carefully lay out the layout, highlight the main aspects, emphasize the essential things, and embody the theme of the work as a distinct image organization.

Composition is to study the structural forms and laws of all compositions, the principles and principles of composition structure, and the corresponding relationship between composition and various thinking forms. Composition must be based on all scientific thinking.

However, people still have different views on whether composition also reflects the laws of objective things. Some people think that "painting has no definite method", because the objective things are ever-changing and the emotional and ideological content is more complicated, so no one can tell the law of composition structure. Engels said that "the universal form of nature is law", which shows that law is the universal form. Practice has proved that the composition structure has certain rules, and the "business position, layout, layout, structure and light color" in the discussion of Chinese painting are all incisive discussions on the composition law.

In China traditional painting, the composition structure is called "composition" or "layout", and "composition of paper comes first". Position management is like Go, you can play a game of chess, don't be confused. Ordinary paper can also lose ink, remember not to express it with a pen at will. Chess has its way, painting has its reason, and losing is like losing chess. The ancients compared composition to playing chess. When photography becomes like this, there must be a certain composition and layout.

Therefore, composition is called the general idea of a painting, and the so-called general idea is to outline and summarize. Like writing an article, the composition of a painting should follow the rules of composition, such as having rules and laws, having masters from time to time, echoing each other, comparing reality with reality, being hidden and obvious, being simple and complex, being dense and seamless, obeying the requirements of theme expression, and achieving the perfect harmony and unity of the overall sense of form, which is the ultimate goal of composition.

Second, creation and composition

Photography creation is a kind of mental work, with at least fixed exceptions and at least routine changes. When a photographer's mind is attracted and possessed by a real emotional image and has the ability to stay there and express it with visual images, he will create a good composition. Photography creation is inseparable from composition, just as writing an article is inseparable from layout and composition, which is one of the important factors for the success of a work. The relationship between creation and composition is so close.

1, Formation of the theme

The original intention of creation is the activity of artist image. The reason why art is different from the reappearance of life lies mainly in creation and imagination, including the passion and creativity of the photographer's perspective, as well as the thinking and generalization of images. There is no doubt that every photographer may be occupied or excited by some thoughts and feelings at any moment in his life, and sometimes these thoughts and feelings make him hard to get rid of. So I began to look for this expression of thoughts and feelings in the real life environment. Photographers create photographic works of art in the moment of life, which is a strange and high-spirited form of passion. So some people call this passion "inspiration". This kind of inspiration, psychologists believe, is a psychological phenomenon in creative activities. Inspiration is the creative ability that generate suddenly emerged because of the high concentration of thoughts. However, inspiration does not come out of thin air, but often comes after some hard thinking. The arrival of inspiration is often accidental, and sometimes it is inadvertently triggered. There are many opportunities for inspiration, and the role of various inspiration factors is actually to make the photographer's thoughts and feelings flow in the imagination, to make the unformed thoughts and feelings clear, and to find a beautiful form of emotional expression. Comrade Zhou Enlai once said, "Long-term accumulation, accidental acquisition", and he explained, "This accidental acquisition is based on long-term life and cultivation. From common things, only talented artists can discover beauty and create beauty. " As Rodin said, "beauty is everywhere, and only sincere and emotional people can find it." Life and beauty are closely linked, and everything in life is influenced by beauty. The key lies in the artist's sensitivity and imagination. The artist's sensitivity to ordinary people comes from his constant observation of life and artistic accomplishment.

The theme of photography creation comes from life. The formation of the theme makes photographers have stronger creative desire and impulse. The theme is the soul, which belongs to ideology. "Intention first" means that you must have ideas before taking pictures, and meaning is also the theme. The formation of the theme can not be separated from social practice. One is gradually cultivated by photographers in long-term life practice, and the other is extracted from materials.

2. The relationship between theme and composition

After the theme is established, artistic conception is the most active stage of image thinking. Although there are images in this stage, it is not a practical stage. Therefore, in fact, there are still some details or characters that may be omitted, and to complete the creative intention, we must specifically describe the images and pictures in the creativity. How to express it is a question of skill, but skill is an integral part of the whole idea, and the maturity of the idea depends on the depth of understanding. In order to gain expressive force, the artist said on the screen that he should look for the combination of "modeling motivation" objects and various changes to find the best one, which is composition.

The conception of the work is reflected in the work. There is no composition without conception, and the process of composition is the process of conception development and theme deepening.

Every artist lives in the real world and has his own rooted soil-people and life. Without this fertile soil, the tree of life will wither and the light of art will go out. Works always reflect the author's feelings, thoughts, judgments and conclusions about life. Through the works, we can see the author's literacy, thoughts, personality, interests, demands and wishes. Behind the work is the author's personality. In the realistic creative activities, the image has a strong personality.

Composition has its own rules and methods. Photographers make compositions according to their innate sensitivity. Plastic arts are visual arts, and the quality of composition can be distinguished by eyes. The characteristics of composition in quality should be that the audience can immediately feel the author's intention without looking at the title of the work, introducing or commenting. The author can't express his thoughts by words, but by the structure of people, events, scenery and the whole picture to express his feelings and passionate love for life. The theme of the work is reflected by the vivid typical image with distinct personality created by the author. Only in this way can the audience have a real feeling of hearing voices, seeing people and being there.

Therefore, before the process of photographic composition, we should first look for the creative motivation (the motivation of conception and the motivation of modeling). Composition is a process of creating artistic works, and composition is the synthesis of all factors of artistic works. This kind of synthesis can show the author's thoughts and intentions more comprehensively and forcefully, that is, the process of reflecting the author's thoughts into the form of artistic works that can be felt. Therefore, composition is to connect all the elements of form according to the content of artistic works.

Third, the status and role of the guards in the picture.

Accompanying body refers to an object that forms a certain plot with the subject on the screen and helps to express the characteristics and connotation of the subject. Some objects organized on the screen are in the company position, and they form a plot with the subject, which plays an important role in deepening the connotation of the subject and helping to explain the characteristics of the subject. Visual language will be much more accurate and vivid because of the foil on the screen. Its function has the following characteristics:

1, accompany me to deepen the subject connotation. From the work Fan of Technological Innovation, it shows that the main body of the picture is two workers. With the machine gear and the rice on the table, the machine, the workers and the rice together constitute the plot of technological innovation. As a companion, beside the big machine, there is a rich meal on the workbench, and the workers concentrate on their research, which makes the plot contain many connotations. Machines and meals on the table are the image language of workers, which reflects the true portrayal of workers forgetting to eat and sleep in the four modernizations. The visual language that the companion helps to express here is difficult to express in words.

2, the picture processing companion, in essence, is to deal with the plot. The choice of escort should be able to describe the characters and explain the characteristics of the event, that is, it should be typical (such as "Old Age Music").

3. The arrangement of the picture partner must be based on the principle of not weakening the subject, and can't pretend to be the master. The area occupied by companions in the picture, the arrangement of colors, the direction of lines and the movements of characters must be closely related to the subject and cannot be separated from it. Because the layout of the picture is light and heavy, the accompanying body on the picture is often incomplete, and only the part that can explain the whole time is enough. Accompanying the whole body will weaken the main body. Don't covet perfection. We should proceed from the actual effect and choose the appropriate limit.

4. There are also direct and indirect treatments for companion. Sometimes you can't see the accompanying body directly in the painting. Although we say that the foil is a subject plot object, some objects are not in the picture, but outside it. The action expression of the subject on the screen is related to an object outside the screen. Although this object is not displayed on the screen, it will definitely appear in the viewer's imagination. This kind of performance is called the indirect performance of peers.

For the indirect treatment of peers, it is important to skillfully arrange the media to guide imagination.

The indirect treatment of the accompanying body is an artistic technique to construct the picture, which can expand the living capacity of the picture, create paintings outside the picture, let the imagination of the viewer participate in the creation of the meaning of painting, and arouse the room for appreciation and aftertaste. Therefore, the structural drawing should be viewed from the outside, the picture is outside, the picture is limited, and the painting is limited. Some classic paintings give us examples, such as "Deep Mountain Temple", which only depicts a young monk carrying water down a mountain stream; "Zhusuo Xiqiao Selling Pavilion" only wrote a wine word on the bamboo tip; In "Walking Flowers and Returning to Horseshoe Fragrance", the horseshoe fragrance is not in the picture, and the picture only shows butterflies flapping in the horseshoe, leaving it to the audience to imagine. These artistic ideas in painting are worth learning by photographers in conception and structure. When selecting and processing pictures, we should also consider the aesthetic requirements of lyricism, philosophy and implication, and learn to deal with the accompanying body in an indirect way to strengthen the expressive force and appeal of photographic pictures.

Fourth, the role of the environment on the foil subject.

In many photographic works of art, we can often see some objects in the picture as part of the environment, which plays a role in setting off the subject and plot, thus strengthening the expressive force of the theme. As an integral part of the environment, the object is in front of the subject, which we call prospect; Behind the subject, we call it the background.

1, potential customer

The foreground is in front of the subject, close to the camera. They are characterized by large images and deep colors, mostly at the edge of the painting. The foreground generally uses trees, flowers, people and things. A companion can also be a prospect.

A, use some flowers and trees with seasonal and local characteristics as the foreground to render the seasonal atmosphere and local colors, so that the picture has a strong flavor of life. Using spring flowers and winter jasmine as the foreground not only shows seasonality, but also makes the picture full of spring breath; Use chrysanthemums and red leaves as the foreground, and the autumn colors are full of paintings; With the prospect of ice laurel and snow branches, the winter scene in the north is just in front of you, so you can visit it yourself. Shooting Hainan scenery, with coconut palm and banana as the prospect, is full of southern sentiment; Bamboo and red cotton are used, which has the local flavor of the south. These prospects are often a powerful foil to the theme.

B. Foreground is used to enhance the sense of space and perspective. The structural diagram is for the camera to deliberately get close to some people or things. Using the characteristics of large image and deep color tone, it forms obvious contrast in shape and color tone with distant scenery, thus mobilizing people's vision to feel the spatial distance of the picture. The visual effect diagram seems to have a depth axis, which makes people feel that it is no longer flat. Some experienced photographers always try to find a suitable foreground to emphasize the near-big and far-small perspectives when shooting the content of space scenes, and often use landscapes with similar foreground and foreground, such as people, trees and mountains. Because of different distances, the greater the difference in the area occupied on the screen, the stronger the ability to mobilize people's visual laws and imagine space, and the more vivid the feeling of the depth axis.

C. Highlighting the generality of the screen content When expressing some rich and complicated things, it is an important means to deliberately put the most characteristic part of the things to be expressed in the foreground (such as "for a data" and "new cookhouse class"). This painting is full of life. In order to show the increasingly affluent rural life, the foreground is two new aluminum barrels with fish pieces, meat, vegetables and white rice waiting for cooking. Because it is in front of the picture, it is large and vivid, giving people a strong visual impression, strengthening the generalization of the content and increasing the visual sense of the picture.

D, contrast the foreground and background scenery in content to complete the commonly used contrast techniques in photography (such as gap and first contact) and form a thought-provoking theme.

Prospects give people a subjective sense of status. Strengthening the sense of status of the picture, such as using the bright features of doors, windows, buildings and other scenes as the foreground, makes it occupy a larger position on the picture, gives the audience a psychological impact, and invisibly shortens the distance between the audience and the picture, resulting in an immersive intimacy. This is very beneficial to increase the artistic appeal of the picture. Giving the audience a sense of status is very important in other literary and artistic creations. To be fascinating, we must first attract people to the country. Just like Li Bai's poem, "with such bright light at the foot of my bed, will there be frost?" Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " The first sentence of the four poems is very important. Let's talk about where I am first. I look at the bright moon in front of my bed, so the homesickness behind me is natural and true. Photography can do this, usually with the help of foreground.

F, the application of foreground can increase the decorative beauty of the landscape. Use some regularly arranged objects and some patterned objects as the foreground, so that the picture looks like a beautiful picture frame or lace, making it lively and jumping (such as "Baosteel Waltz" and "New Height"), with characters embedded in the middle, which is very beautiful, elegant and free.

G, the foreground has the function of balancing the picture. Sometimes when we find the vacancy on the picture unbalanced, such as when the sky in Wan Li is cloudless and monotonous, we put drooping branches and leaves on it to make up for the lack of the picture; Sometimes the bottom of the picture can't be pressed. When the top is heavy and the bottom is light, you can use rocks and railings as the foreground, and the dark color makes the picture feel depressed, achieving a stable and balanced effect.

H, the foreground adopts the expression of virtual focus, giving people a sense of hazy beauty.

In recent years, in many photographic works, many people often use virtual focus and chaotic scenery as the foreground, which is not only acceptable to the audience, but also interesting. This is because people's aesthetic interest in photography is also changing and developing, tending to be natural and true, requiring a breath of life. The emptiness and chaos in the foreground can emphasize this kind of scene atmosphere, and the emptiness in the foreground also helps to highlight the reality of the theme and set off the reality with emptiness. The confusion in the future should also be cited. In fact, chaos is regular, but it seems chaotic, but it is based on the principle of not interfering with highlighting the main body. If the chaos is so overwhelming, I'm afraid it will be hard for the audience to accept and you won't be satisfied, so its principle is: "seek truth from facts in vain and seek treatment in chaos."

These are the eight functions of the outlook. In fact, the application of prospect often plays several roles at the same time, and it is best to kill more than one stone. Generally speaking, the significance of using foreground lies in enriching the vocabulary of the picture and increasing the literary grace of the picture. But remember, the prospect should not be abused, it is dispensable, and it is best not to use it, for the sake of simplicity; In addition, the shape and line structure of the foreground should be as beautiful as possible, closely linked with the main body, echoing and combined into a whole, which is helpful to express the theme.

2. Background

Background refers to the scenery behind the subject to set off the subject, so as to emphasize the environment in which the subject is located. Background plays an important role in highlighting the image and enriching the subject connotation.

All plastic artists attach great importance to the role of background, and sculpture, painting, architecture and other arts attach great importance to the background to set off the main body. Hegel said in Aesthetics that "an artist should not carve a sculpture completely first, and then consider where to put it, but should relate to a certain external world, its spatial form and parts when conceiving". Photographers also know that background plays an important role in the success or failure of a photographic work. It is often the case that the subject, companion, expression and posture of a work are ideal, but it fails because of poor background processing. Three aspects should be paid attention to in the background selection of photographic pictures: first, grasp the characteristics; The second is to strive for simplicity; The third is to have color contrast.

A, first of all, we should grasp some scenery with local characteristics and characteristics of the times as the background, and make clear the time, place and atmosphere of the times, so as to deepen the audience's understanding of the theme of the work, grasp its scenery with characteristics of the times, and make people understand the background of the times.

If smoking locomotives or factory chimneys are taken as the background, it still makes people feel that the business was prosperous and the motherland was thriving in the 1950s, which can stimulate people's aesthetic feelings. But today, in the 1980s, if the background is still like this, it will be regarded as pollution, reflecting that dockers are also like this. Portrait shooting also pays great attention to choosing a distinctive environment as the background to set off the professional and personality characteristics of the characters. (For example, girls can't use big red flowers as the background first), which is called environmental portrait. Environment sets off characters, and the background can also be divided into positive contrast and negative contrast. For example, happy children set off the environment with a garden full of flowers, which is a positive contrast; For example, hungry and poor children are in the busy streets of the world, which is a contrast.

B, background processing should be concise. Someone once said, "The difference between painting and photography is that painting uses addition and photography uses subtraction", because painting always adds something to the picture, while photography always tries to subtract those unnecessary things. Among them, it is important to subtract unnecessary things in the background that hinder the main body from protruding, so as to achieve a concise and refined picture.

Distinguished from many photographic works, it is found that many experienced photographers fully mobilize various photographic techniques to achieve the effect of simple background. Some avoid the messy scenery on the horizon at an oblique angle, and set off the main objects in the sky cleanly; Some take the road, water surface and grassland as the background by using the angle of overhead shooting, so that the main outline is clear and a concise background is obtained; Some use backlight to hide the messy lines in the background in the shadow; Some use morning fog to hide the background in white fog; Some use long focal length lenses to reduce the background, and the scenery is excluded from the picture; Some use virtual focus to soften background lines. These methods can get the effect of concise background.

C, the background should strive to form a tone contrast with the main body (tone contrast in color photography), so that the main body has a three-dimensional sense, a sense of space and clear outline lines, and strengthen visual power.

The processing rule of contour modeling: dark main body is lined with bright background; A bright subject is set on a dark background; A bright or dark theme is set against a neutral gray background; The subject is bright, the background is bright, and there should be a dark outline in the middle; The subject is dark, the background is dark, and there should be a bright outline in the middle. Because photography is a graphic plastic art, if there is no contrast and interval in tone or tone, the subject image will be integrated with the background and lose the possibility of visual recognition. So some people compare the hue and contrast of the picture to a means of transportation. With it, the picture image will stand out and be transmitted to the audience.

Background processing is an important link in the structure of photographic pictures. Only by careful selection in shooting can the picture content be refined and accurate, and the visual image be perfectly expressed.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) retention of blank space

In addition to visible objects, there are some blank parts on the photographic screen, which are composed of a single-tone background, forming gaps between objects. Monotone background can be sky, water, grassland, land or other scenery. Due to the use of various photographic means, they have lost their original physical image and formed a single tone on the screen to set off other physical objects.

Although blank is not a real thing, it is also an indispensable part of the screen. It is a link that communicates the links between objects on the screen and organizes their relationships. The role of blank space on the screen, just like punctuation in an article, can make the picture clear, the paragraph clear and the pulse smooth, and also help the author express his feelings. The following specific analysis of the blank part of the picture processing and its role:

1, leaving a certain blank on the screen is the need to highlight the main body. In order to make the subject eye-catching and have visual impact, it is necessary to leave a certain gap around it. For example, when shooting people, the head and body always avoid overlapping with trees, houses, street lamps and other objects, and arrange the blank formed by the people in a single color background, leaving a certain gap around the subject, which can be said to be a law of plastic arts. Because people need space to appreciate objects, it is difficult to appreciate the beauty of a beautiful work of art if it is placed in a pile of messy objects. A fine work of art will only release its artistic light if there is a certain space around it.

2. Blanking the picture helps to create the artistic conception of the picture.

If a painting is full of solid objects and there is no blank, it will give people a feeling of depression. If the blank space on the screen is left properly, people's vision will have room for manoeuvre and their thinking may change. People often say, "If a painting is empty for three minutes, it will make you angry." If the blank space is kept properly, the picture will be vivid, ethereal and handsome. The blank space is often full of the author's feelings, and the audience's thoughts and the realm of the work can also be sublimated.

The blank of the picture does not exist in isolation, it is always an extension of reality. The so-called emptiness is the contrast between emptiness and reality, forming different associations and emotional appeal. For example, Qi Baishi painted shrimps, and several transparent and lively shrimps surrounded a large blank without drawing water, but it made people feel that all the blanks around were water. The blank space of photographic pictures and the treatment of real scenes should also arouse the audience's rich association, and use blank space to create artistic conception, which has a creative role in other arts.

3. Blank is the condition for organizing the echo relationship between objects on the screen.

Different spatial arrangements can reflect different echo relationships. The so-called echo always consists of two objects at a certain distance. If two objects are close together, there is no echo. All objects will show certain directionality and have a back-to-back relationship because of different starting points, different usages, different lines extending directions and different light irradiation. It is necessary to carefully observe the directionality of objects, reasonably arrange the blank distance, and organize the mutual echo relationship between them.

4. Blank keeping is related to the motion of the object. The general rule is that there should be some blanks in front of moving objects, such as moving people and Mercedes-Benz cars, so that the moving objects can have room for extension, and the audience can feel unobstructed and deepen their feelings about the movement of objects. People's sight is also the psychological requirement of people's appreciation. In short, we should be good at using blanks flexibly and creatively.

5. The blank space on the screen and the size of the physical area also meet a certain proportion.

To prevent the area from being equal and symmetrical, generally speaking, the total area left blank on the screen is larger than the area occupied by the real thing, and the screen is ethereal and delicate. If the total area of the object is larger than the blank space, the picture focuses on realism, but if the total area of the two objects on the picture is equal, it gives people a sense of mediocrity, which is a matter of formality.

On China's ancient paintings: "carefree and airtight." That is to say, go to extremes in the layout of density to strengthen the audience's feelings and create their own style. Blanking, changing the proportion of blank space and real scene, is indeed an important means of creative picture layout.

Sixth, the overall picture should be balanced.

In the process of integrating all parts of the picture into a whole, the last step is to check whether the picture is balanced, because balance is a psychological requirement and sense of form formed by people in their long-term life. Whether the picture is balanced or not not not not only affects the overall structure, but also is closely related to the audience's appreciation psychology.

In real life, all stable objects have the form of balance: the four legs of the table are stable, if there are three legs, full balance will be stable; If you build a house with a small bottom and a big top, it will give people a feeling of instability; Carrying a heavy burden makes it inconvenient to walk; Obviously, people's posture in labor is to achieve physical balance to adapt to the characteristics of this kind of labor. Many life phenomena cultivate people's psychology of demanding balance and play a role in people's aesthetic process.

A painting should be balanced and stable in general, which makes people feel stable, harmonious and complete. Using people's psychological factors for balance, we can emphasize the expressive force of the picture from several aspects:

1. When emphasizing a solemn atmosphere, the balance of the picture is required to be stable, and even a symmetrical balance is deliberately adopted to show a simple and solemn relationship from the symmetrical balance.

2. In some lyrical landscape pictures that emphasize elegance, quietness and softness, as well as vivid characters and plot pictures, it is required to have sparse and dense in the changing balance picture, but the overall requirement is balance.

3. On the other hand, balance can also be used. That is to say, deliberately violating the law of balance makes the unbalanced balance of the screen people cause a sense of turmoil, as if it were shocked by the outside world. Express the theme profoundly with unbalanced variant forms.
