Make sure you answer the following questions in your paper: Identify the elements of design being used in the composition and describe how they are being used? Address each of the ones put into this list. Explain in detail how that element works in the image. Refer back to the video. Several of you did not understand framing. Framing has to utilize an element in the scene to frame something within the scene. Please pay close attention to the 9 photo composition tips below. Also, lines can be implied they do not have to be actual lines in an image. Here is the list: 1. Rule of Thirds: The rule of thirds is based on dividing your scene into a grid of nine equal parts; the four intersection points of the grid lines represent the best locations to place your subject within the frame to make a well-balanced, pleasing composition. 2. Leading Lines: Use natural or implied lines to lead the eye into the photograph. 3. Diagonals: Diagonal lines create movement. These can be implied or real. 4. Framing: Use natural frames like windows and doors. 5. Figure to ground: How does your foreground relate to your background? Is it a relationship of contrast or harmony. This is perhaps the hardest of techniques. 6. Fill your frame: Get close to your subjects. 7. Center the dominant eye: Placing the dominant eye in the center of the photo gives the impression the eyes follow you. 8. Pattern and repetition: like areas are repeated throughout the image. 9. Symmetry: the image is symmetrical. SYMMETRY refers to a line that splits an object in half and, if both sides of the object are an exact mirror image of each other, then this object is said to be symmetrical. https://expertphotography.com/symmetry-in-photography/ Video link:https://youtu.be/7ZVyNjKSr0M
