  5. Although sometimes you may want to frame in the center! Lines of Travel

  6. A very well used example is the station platform to draw your eye to the point where the train will appear or a scene is taking place. Examples: A brief Encounter, Once Upon a Time in the West, Harry Potter The Rule of Thirds is often thought of as a simplification of the Golden Ratio And takes account of lines of travel as well – http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/8965/what-is-the-golden-ratio-and-why-is-it-better-than-the-rule-of-thirds

  7. Poor composition Watch for objects such as signs and plants sticking out of peoples heads!

  8. Angles Use a low camera angle to make subjects look imposing Use a high camera angle to make A subject look vulnerable. Quick video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQV-PC-q9B4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

  9. Lighting • Lighting can be used to add depth to a subject or frame • Used to add mood • Used to add meaning • Special effects (such as a car driving past) You need to use time of day for natural lighting or use light sources that are around you if indoors.
