Presentation of visual elements in an image / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Framing (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Field size or Picture frame.
In visual arts and particularly cinematography, framing is the presentation of visual elements in an image, especially the placement of the subject in relation to other objects. Framing can make an image more aesthetically pleasing and keep the viewer's focus on the framed object(s). It can also be used as a repoussoir, to direct attention back into the scene. It can add depth to an image, and can add interest to the picture when the frame is thematically related to the object being framed.
