Representation

Representation is another key concept in the subject of Media. For this part of the site, we will cover 3 aspects of 'Representation'. These areas are: -

  • Framing
  • Denotation/Conotation
  • Rule Of Thirds

The key to Representation is that we must understand whats being represented and who or what is doing the representing.

 

Rule Of Thirds

The image here to the right is shown using the rule of thirds. As you can see, the lines have been added to the picture to show where the rule of thirds is put into place. The rule of thirds basically means the image has been framed in such a way that you could break the image into 3 equal seperate chunks. Either horizontally or vertically. Most photographers frame there photos using the rule of thirds.
