1. Rule of thirds composition The principle of composition of the rule of thirds is to arrange the subject on two horizontal and two vertical lines, especially the four intersection points.
When taking a portrait, placing the person on one of the two vertical lines and leaving the other side empty will give people more room for imagination and make the picture more balanced.
2. Leave white space in the direction of the character’s gaze. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Blank space in the direction of the gaze will give people imagination and arouse emotional resonance through the eyes and the blank space.
3. Leave a blank space in the direction of the character's movement. Let the audience understand that this blank place is where the character is about to reach, and the visual effect of the picture will be more balanced.
At the same time, appropriate white space will make moving characters more dynamic and visually impactful.
4. Big scenes and small characters. Let the characters occupy a smaller proportion of the picture. The atmosphere of the environment and the status of the characters can be expressed through the contrast between the big scenes and the small characters.
5. Avoid "hitting the wall" as shown in the picture below. The colors and characters in the picture are all beautiful, but the direction and orientation of the characters' sightlines are all in the frame of the picture, which creates the feeling of "hitting the wall" and makes the overall picture uncoordinated.
