Rules of composition photography

 RULES OF COMPOSITION


Rule of thirds:

Focus on a subject or an object in a photograph using vertical and horizontal lines. 





Leading lines:

Using bold, strong lines in a photograph to draw attention to a certain perspective or a vanishing point, creating depth in the photograph. 








Cropping: 
 When you crop an image, you scale an image down to show detail to a certain aspect of it and hide the unwanted parts of the image.



Depth: 
Using a high depth to create depth in the image, allowing the viewer to travel through the photo. 

    Horizon line: 
Using sea , land or beach to create a horizon line in the middle of the image to have a dramatic effect. 

Point of view: 
Changing the point of view in an image to bring the viewer or image in that tells us more about the image. 

Background control/Shallow depth of field: 
Using depth of field to blur the background in order to make the subject of the photograph or a particular part of the photograph to stand out. 

Framing: 
Using a foreground object to frame some part of your subject.

CAST Doncastrian Chalk Circle (first blogger post)

Image
 Over the Summer holidays, I spent 8 weeks rehearsing for 4 bank holiday weekend performances at CAST theatre. The title of the play is the Doncastrian Chalk Circle, a re-written version of the Caucasian Chalk Circle. This play was about justice, a young woman takes care of the queen's son that had been abandoned and raises him as her own. This play featured professional actors such as Daisy-Ann Fletcher, Johnny Partridge and Benjamin Armstrong. We had over 70 community actors including myself and it was my first ever big-scale production.
