By understanding how to arrange pictures through Composition, Angles and Camera Position you can direct the eye and present a message without words. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
COMPOSITION Arrange the elements of the picture by identifying specific design principles. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
R3 Rule of thirds (Subject) Use a grid that divides the screen into thirds v e r t i c a l l y a n d horizontally. Place the subject along any of the four intersecting p o i n t s t o c r e a t e balance. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
R3 Rule of thirds (Landscape) Use a grid that divides the screen into thirds v e r t i c a l l y a n d horizontally. Fill one third with either sky or land to create balance. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions

ANGLE Arrange the elements of the picture by using the camera to "LOOK" from specific positions. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
EL Eye level Taken from directly in front of the subject. Gives audience a feeling of being on t h e l e v e l o f t h e subject. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
BE Birds Eye Taken from directly above the subject. Gives audience a feeling of dominance. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
AE Ants Eye Taken from directly below the subject. Gives audience a f e e l i n g o f insignificance. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
LA Low Angle Taken from somewhat below the subject. Gives subject a sense of dominance. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
HA High Angle Taken from somewhat above the subject. Gives subject a sense of insignificance. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
FA Flat Angle Pictures that are flat a r e s h o t f r o m a distance directly in front of the subject. Usually they have a solid background or wall. VISUAL STORYTELLING CAPs Compositions, Angles, Positions
