Composition
How is the two-dimensional space segmented and organized? What is the underlying design?
The objects in the frame can be placed to suggest underlying designs or shapes.
- Horizontal--compositions based on horizontal lines seem visually at rest and suggest placidity or peacefulness.
- Vertical--compositions based on vertical lines seem visually at rest and suggest strength.
- Diagonal--compositions based on diagonal, or oblique, lines seem dynamic and suggest tension or anxiety.
- Binary--binary structures emphasize parallelism.
- Triangle--triadic compositions stress the dynamic interplay among three main elements.
- Circle--circular compositions suggest security and enclosure.
Ghost World (2001)
This shot has a binary composition. The two characters are facing each other, standing in almost the same position. Their standing also gives the shot a strong vertical sense.
