LECTURE

Basic Composition:
Focal Point: Having something/someone as the centre of attention.

Scale & Hierarchy: Guides viewer's eyes to and away from elements.

Balance the elements: Having equal mass on all sides.

White space: Having a lot of space with "nothing" in it.


Rule of Thirds:
- Divide an image into 9 parts with 4 intersection points.
- Creates a sense of Harmony
- Makes the image proportionate

Golden Ratio:
Mathematical ratio is found in nature, and it is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes when implemented in images.

Types of Shot:
Single Shot: A shot where a single subject is present.

Two Shot: A shot where 2 subjects are present, usually in conversation.

Three Shot: Also known as a Crowd Shot, as it has more than 2 people in it.

Over the Shoulder: Used commonly in conversations, makes the viewer feel included.

Point of View: A shot where the viewer is seeing what the subject or character is seeing.

Insert Shot: Similar to Point of View, it attracts the viewer to a certain element.




TUTORIAL



PRACTICAL

Task 1:
I was tasked with making 3 collages, I first started by looking at inspiration. I wanted to go for pink as it is my favourite colour, however, I only had a few options for pink elements as I reused the same magazine from my fashion course back in pre-university. So I looked at collages that incorporate other colors.

I then made my 3 collages.

REFLECTION

I learned about specific compositions and types of shots to use when making a collage or other design work. I also gained inspiration from Pinterest to include in my 3 collages.
