The difference between open composition and closed composition in photography

There are three main differences between open combination and closed combination:

First, the main aspects.

1, open composition does not necessarily put the subject in the geometric center or the interesting center.

2. Closed composition is used to putting the subject in the geometric center or the interesting center.

Second, the image is complete.

1, the image of the open composition screen is incomplete, emphasizing the existence of the space outside the painting and the organic connection with it.

2. Closed composition generally pays attention to the integrity of the picture. For example, taking close-ups of people and things is a partial representation of people and things, but we should also pay attention to the integrity of the picture structure.

Third, composition.

1, open composition intentionally destroys the balance and disharmony of composition, making the picture often in various changes from imbalance to balance and disharmony to harmony.

2, closed composition pays great attention to composition balance, and the content is limited to the picture.

On the concepts of open composition and closed composition.

1, Open Composition: Modern film and television performance skills have broken through the limitation of completing the task of screen modeling within a fixed framework, and the audience's aesthetic thinking on the screen has changed from closed thinking to open thinking. Open composition form is a powerful means to break through the limitation of fixed frame.

2. Closed composition: Closed composition is the main composition form of film and television composition. Before the 1960s, the integrity and balance of film and television picture composition was the basic requirement of composition. Since the 1960s, great changes have taken place in the form of film and television composition, and the open composition has obviously increased.
