Simply stated
1. LINE
2. SIZE
3. SHAPE
4. DIRECTION
5. TEXTURE
6. VALUE
7. COLOUR
Do you see any of these when you look through the lens or is it all frocks, legs and hairstyles. Can you make one or two stand out. Wheres the design in this fashion picture???
In the film the Magnificent Seven Brynner was the standout. He wore all black. His horse was bigger than the others. He had better lines. Good. The other actors were SUPPORTING actors
they had interesting attributes but that was it.
However the problem was with another actor named Steve McQueen, He was up and coming. He wanted more.Watch the film and watch McQueen try to upstage Brynner. While Brynner talks McQeen in the background fiddles with his hat fanning his face, checking his gun etc. Doing anything and everything to draw attention away from Brynner and onto himself.
It reminds me when I look through the lens, something has to stand out,
you can see fashion pictures where the hair upstages the frocks, hair pictures where the mu steals the show, pictures where the photography upstages everything.
whats the star of your show, dont let the supporting ideas steal the moment
You can have Brynner or McQueen but not both
