• 16:17, 16 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs uploaded File:HZD 1.jpeg (Horizon Zero Dawn We have separated our subjects to two different sides however the focus is on our main subject showing her action and emotions while having the enemy, in the background, clearly ready to attack her. Having that empty space in the middle of the photo, gives a good sense of distance between the characters. This With the camera so close to our character, the scene is more dynamic because we can clearly see actions of both subjects.)
• 16:16, 16 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:GranTursmo 4.jpeg (In this shot we clearly want to show who is in the lead. Using the rule of thirds, the track begins in the upper left corner and ends in the lower right. That way you have a diagonal composition showing direction with motion blur, a sense of speed and depth of field shows exactly what the focus is on, attracting the attention of the eye on that.)

It will look too static and is something that is usually used in architecture but for action shots and movement, it is always preferable to have the photo shot from an angle, showing all the details of the terrain but clearly pointing to a specific direction. If the yellow car was moving in the opposite direction, this scene would be more pleasing to the eye if it was sho...)

• 16:16, 16 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:GranTurismo 2.jpg (Adding motion blur gives a photo a sense of speed. By moving the camera back, this time the focus is on the upcoming track. Angled upward also means greater notion that the car is moving forwards. Another way to make the composition of a photo pop more is by adding complimentary colors for the two most obvious subjects. That way you have a clear separation and it is more pleasing to the eye.)

• 16:15, 16 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:GranTurismo 1.jpeg (For a sense of movement you can either position the camera in front or behind the car. In this example the composition of the car and its background is almost 50-50 in screen space. The car needs to be at a certain distance to make it look like its coming towards you and at the same time, show where its coming from. Playing with the perspective and tilting the image slightly gives a greater sense of speed.)

• 16:15, 16 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:Death Stranding 3.jpeg (Just as with vehicles, for character movements you need to position the camera at an angle that best gives away the sense of a leap towards something or somewhere. In this example our character is jumping off a cliff. By leaving the ground/landing zone invisible to the viewer, the composition gives a sense of a much higher jump than it actually is and by tilting the camera slightly downward, that accentuates the feel of a jump even more.)

• 16:15, 16 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:Death Stranding 2.jpeg (In photography, the rules of thirds make the photo look more pleasing. Therefore it is not common to have items or subjects put in the dead center. In this example, having the character in the middle of the photo works perfectly because it is showing scale, just how large the world around him is. It also helps that due to the layout of the land, it is not a flat horizon but a more triangular composition giving also the depth to the image.)

It could be either in front, behind or at the side of character depending what story you want to tell. In this particular photo not only are we showing movement up a hill but the camera has been tilted slightly to show the viewer it is an uphill climb. It gives the image more dynamic feel rather than keeping it flat/horizontal.)

In the right foreground, the fighter jet sticks out a bit, partially obscured by the darker lighting. The contrast and asymmetry of the image is striking, portraying balance and imbalance simultaneously. Pretty neat!)

You’ll notice this area is off-center. Going back to the rule of thirds, you generally don’t want to center a point of interest. As you pan over the bright light, your eyes begin to veer leftward onto the large statues, again in the left third of the in-game photo. Falling leaves and foreground ruins bring out an additional bonus: an illusion of movement and...)

• 09:45, 13 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:Lines.jpg (Artificial and naturally occurring lines and curves can have a dramatic effect on the overall composition of an image. Lines contribute to an illusion of depth and oftentimes bring attention to a specific focal point for the viewer. Arranging subjects and objects along lines can direct a person to follow along the picture for the perception of movement. Landscape shots tend to invoke a sense of stillness and tranquility thanks in part to a naturally occurring horizontal line)

Rather than the hills and stone markers all being the same size, each is unique, with some larger than others. You can see the different markers placed closer to and farther from the horizon. The same can be said of the hills, each sloping and guiding the eye to move from one to the other, culminating in the larger mountain all the way in the back.)

The reflectiveness of the mid-section is a nice bonus.)
