Photographic structure

Composition is a term of plastic arts, which refers to the structural configuration method of works, and is an important means for plastic arts to express the ideological content of works and gain artistic appeal. Visual arts, especially common skills in painting, graphic photography design and film and television creation.

The name composition comes from the west, and there is a course called composition. The name of composition is called layout in Chinese painting, which means that photographic composition is transformed from the composition of art, and it can also be simply called framing.

1: 1 structure (square): the picture is compact and easy to highlight the main body.

4:3 structure: It can record the most complete picture information and give more space for later cropping.

16:9 structure: most suitable for human eyes, suitable for landscape architecture and atmospheric portraits.

2.35: 1 (movie frame): The screen ratio of most movies is relatively wide, and the picture feels like a cinema.

1. central synthesis method

Central composition is the position where the subject is placed in the center of the picture. The biggest advantage of this composition method is that the main body is prominent and clear, and the picture is more likely to present a symmetrical effect. This is especially effective for serious photographers.

2. Horizontal line composition method

Horizontal line composition is the most basic composition method. Taking the horizontal line as the level, the elongated line can show a broad and stable feeling, which is usually used for landscape photography.

3. Guide wire construction method

Using lines to guide the focus of the line of sight will have more room for thinking about the work, and will also enrich the picture, so that the viewer and the author can think about the reasons for creation together.

4. Three-point synthesis method

Three-point composition, also called tic-tac-toe composition, is a common composition method in film and television, design and other arts. When using this composition, the scene is divided by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, so that four intersections can be obtained, and the picture is focused on one of the four intersections.

5. Frame construction method

The framing method will guide the viewer to pay attention to the scenery in the picture and create 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.

6. Repeated synthesis method

The main body of the work is a group of the same things, and the composition method of shooting this group of main bodies at the same time. Monotonous repetition of unified objects, occupying the whole picture without obvious clutter, can also play a prominent role.
