Which way is up?

The positioning of the object in the picture is important in composition as it helps the viewer to understand what the image is supposed to be telling them. For example if we are looking up at the object from a low angle, it suggests the image is the more powerful and shows authority because they are looking down on us. Where-as if the viewer is looking at the object from a high angle then they are the one who feels more in power. This is important in composing camera shots because the audience needs to know the position of the character within a storyline, enabling them to feel sorry for a character or scared by their power.
