Vertical Positioning- Birds Eye Definition: Image taken from directly above the focal point. Vertical Positioning- Worms Eye Definition: Image taken from ground level, the ground should be in the picture. Vertical positioning- High Angle Definition: Image was taken from above the subject looking down at an angle. Makes the focal point look submissive, weak, or frightened. Vertical Positioning- Low Angle Definition: Image taken from below the subject at an angle. Makes the focal point look dominant or ominous. Vertical positioning- Dutch Tilt Definition: Focal point is tipped sideways,which turns the horizon into a slope. Horizontal Positioning- Front Definition: Image taken from directly in front of the focal point. Horizontal Positioning- Back Definition: Image taken from directly behind the focal point. Horizontal Positioning- ¾ Front Definition: Image taken from the front, with the camera slightly off to the left or right. Horizontal Positioning- ¾ Back Definition: Image taken from the back, with the camera slightly off to the left or right. Horizontal Positioning- Profile Definition: Image taken of the side view of a focal point. Rule of Thirds Definition: Image taken with the focal point taken slightly off center, ⅔ of the way through the image either vertically or horizontally. Rule of Thirds Leading Lines Definition: Image that features lines that guide your eye to the focal point. Creative Lighting Definition: Image that features a unique use of lighting, instead of standard overhead lighting. Types of lighting include natural, flash, and studio. Creative Lighting Black and White Definition: Image that has been de-saturated to the point of only appearing in black and white. Black and White
