The semantics of absence
A subtractive and additive approach to cinematic framing
“It is a process of getting rid of what you don’t need. It is subtractive at first.” - Michael Krichman
“We are adding what we subtract - creating a structure for the image. The relationship with the environment is as important as what is in the frame. The subject. The close up.“
-Alexej
Here I have gathered some references, where I have had a centripetal experience due to the use of subtractive and additive framing.
