Composition

What are three key things that this video teaches you about composition? Why is each of them important to the images that you shoot? 

Composition is the artful arrangement of objects and people in the frame. Depending on where your character is placed, your audience will interpret different things. Camera position is one of the aspects of this. If your camera is placed above the subject, the subject will look smaller and weaker, and if it's placed below your subject, they'll look larger and more powerful. The rule of thirds is important because if you line your subject up at the intersections of the lines in the grid, the image will be more visually pleasing. It's also important to keep the subjects eye line in the same area of the screen. If you're taking different shots of the same person, you'd want their eye line to be in the same position relative to the rest of the screen. The result will be smoother for your audience.
