Framing is something that has been really important in my project so far. Like the quote says below, framing eliminates what is not essential to the final image. I am using framing to take away everything except for the minimum amount of information needed to give the viewer a chance to place themselves somewhere.
“The human eye is less accustomed to vertical framing, because it has to scan it from top to bottom. This will lead the eye to not pay much attention to elements placed on the borders of the frame. So, vertical framing is used less than horizontal framing and is more appropriate for shooting portraits, architecture, and scenes where vertical lines play a predominant role in defining them.”

“The process of framing is intended to eliminate what is unessential in the motion picture, to direct the spectator’s attention to what is important, and to give it special meaning and force. Each frame of film, which corresponds in shape to the image projected on the screen, forms the basis for a graphic composition in the same way that the frame of a painting encloses the area in which the painting must be organized.”

Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity:
This book discusses plastic cameras and various techniques and the history behind them. When I think of unique framing, the Holga and Diana F+ cameras are the first things that come to mind. The author gives various tips and suggestions for coming up with some creative uses for the cameras.
