This article is about negative space, negative space brings in viewers attention to certain areas because of the lightness and darkness. The non negative space is an individual, a piece of machinery, or another thing. Then the negative space is the area around that object. Negative space sets the mood as well, like happy, or sad. Basically, you can play around with negative space to create mystery, or make the viewers wonder what could happen next. It’s a well used technique especially in horror movies because you can have an area where anything could come from a place at any moment in a vast environment. To have a lot of negative space, you may want to have a clear background, or just take away some objects so there’s not so much going on. I learned what negative space is in this article. I can apply this to class by trying to use negative space in a video.
