I will begin my blog by using a painting by Paul Cezanne called 'Mont Saint Victoire' to illustrate what i have learnt from my lectures about composition. Firstly the colour and tone of this painting are separated into three horizontal blocks, starting with the dark green at the bottom which then merges into a lighter green and yellow block in the middle which i interpret as a town or village that the viewer is looking down on. The eye is then drawn to the top third of a light blue mountain which seems to be at eye level which suggests the painter is on a hill opposite this mountain because they are not looking up or down on the mountain. Because of the way the painter has used block colours in the painting it means the viewer is drawn to the mountain top because it, unlike the rest of the painting, is a triangular shape. The things I have learnt so far about composition will enable me; as a television production student, to compose shots in a way that will make the viewer understand immediately what is happening.
