Composition in StotytellingP.2



Answer the following questions in an in depth - paragraph:

1. What does this video essay say about the purpose of composition? What does the narrator have to say about the use of lines in the frame?
2. What does this video have to say about the use of artificial vs. primal control? How is this used in composition? Why?

Composition of a scene can create meaning. When the concept of the frame is not exclusively,  seen as a frame, it can convey a powerful meaning as well. Lines inside the frame can be used to guide the audience to a certain focal point. It is important to understand how they converge as well. For example, a character that is pushed to one side of the frame can feel trapped in their current lifestyle. However, lines are not necessary in order to create a focus. It is simply an available option. Artificial control lies in the aesthetic control of guiding the audience where they should be looking. Primal control identifies what subject has the most control in the specific scene. This concept is not only applied to human connections, but it can also be used between interpersonal connections with the environment. The "control" or the importance a subject holds can be identified through the size of the object in the frame.
