All right folks, in this clip we're going to talk about the different types of composition
in art. First of all, composition can be defined largely as a orderly arrangement of elements
within a frame, shot, image, painting that when taken in as a whole conveys the intent
and meaning behind the actual image itself, so it's a very, very powerful tool. And knowing
proper composition, and having a natural feel for proper composition is incredibly important
in any kind of visual medium; photography, video production, film, painting, anything
that conveys an visual image of any kind, so learning that early on is very important.
Knowing what the, the rule of thirds essentially is also incredibly important as well. Taking
your image and dividing it up into three separate lines with three separate boxes in each line,
and put it placing your subject within one of those boxes to establish a visually pleasing
image is important at the earliest, most fundamental level. Beyond that, it's about, it's where,
essentially, the student ceases to be a book learner and has to rely on the raw talents
within them to achieve greatness beyond just, you know, the doing a good enough job. It's
an instinctual thing. When you look at an image you will perceive what you want to convey
within an image, and be able to look at it and decide okay, instead of doing something
static and boring here I'm going to take it a step further and find the most visually
compelling way to show what I'm trying to show. It's; a lot of it cannot be explained.
A lot of it is something that you cannot guide someone to learn. You have to search out the
best visual interpretations for yourself. So, the only advice that I can give you along
those lines is really study the world from different angles. When you're pre-visualizing
some things take a step back and think is this really the best way that I can show this?
Instead of just immediately jumping to the first thing that comes to your mind, the best,
the first visual interpretation, take a step back and go well, what if I tried looking
at it from this angle? Knowing how I want the image to move or how I want the the picture
to speak to people is this really the best way that I can visually offer this image to
the my audience? Take a step back, really think about it, study it. Study the world;
not just from your own, you know, established point of view, but really like figure out
ways to get high and low, and learn the different types of angles and light, and the way that
all of these things converge into one visual experience. Basically, get out there and look
at the world through a different pair of glasses and a different perspective, and that is really
the best way to learn the different types of composition when it comes to the world
of art.
