    The document discusses three photographic techniques: 1. The rule of thirds, which positions subjects off-center following imaginary lines that divide the frame into nine equal parts, creating a more balanced and visually pleasing composition. 2. The golden ratio, which positions elements in a 1:1.618 ratio believed by some to be most aesthetically pleasing. 3. Depth of field, which refers to the distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

    ISL 2: PHOTOGRAPH 1. RULE OF THIRDS 2. GOLDEN RATIO 3.

    DEEP OF FIELD
    Rule of thirds
    The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section. The main reason for observing the rule of thirds is to discourage placement of the subject at the center, or prevent a horizon from appearing to divide the picture in half. Michael Ryan and Melissa Lenos, authors of the book An Introduction to Film Analysis: Technique and Meaning in Narrative Filmstate that the use of rule of thirds is "favored by cinematographers in [3] their effort to design balanced and unified images" (page 40). When filming or photographing people, it is common to line the body up to a vertical line and the person's eyes to a horizontal line. If filming a moving subject, the same pattern is often followed, with the majority of the extra room being in front of the person (the way they are [4] moving). Likewise, when photographing a still subject who is not directly facing the camera, the majority of the extra room should be in front of the subject with the vertical line running through their perceived center of mass.
