Assessment 1: Garden "After"


Following the application of compositional techniques, the "after" photograph provides us with a much better image. The birdhouse, which lay inside the intersection points of the "before" picture, has been focussed upon in this picture. The 'rule of thirds' has been applied in this picture, with the birdhouse acting as a makeshift buffer between the green bush on the left (two-thirds) and the uncovered fence on the right (one-third). The top of the fences could also be described as enforcing the rule of thirds. The angle of the shot gives the impression that the top of the fences are two diagonal lines meeting at a point to join them. The point at which they 'join' is two-thirds of the image. This shot is also much deeper into the garden than the "before" shot, again, using Robert Capa's idea of 'getting into the scene'.
