Principles and Techniques of Veterinary and AH Extension

POINTS TO NOTE 

• Only one centre of interest. Place it following the “rule of thirds”
• Sufficient fore ground to create illusion of depth. Background simple.
• Long shots for answering ‘where’. Close-upshots for answering ‘who’ & ‘what’. One element dominates scene.
• Extreme close-up magnifies small and important details.
• Low angle shots to emphasize ‘who’ or ‘height’.
• High angle shots (aerial view, birds-eye view)for emphasizing ‘how many’ of the subjects.
• Vertical shots for tall things. Horizontal shots for wide or long things.
• Horizons and vertical lines should not cut the picture in centre.
• Horizon below centre accentuates spaciousness, in upper third increases depth and closeness.
• Diagonal lines give illusion of depth and of better picture interest. Horizontal lines indicate rest.
• Framing fills empty spaces. Foreground objects can be used to frame centre of interest.
• Picture is to be taken normally 6-10 feet away.
• Candid shots with expression, actions are better.
