Man-Made Framing:

This focuses you on the main subject by blocking out the surrounding. Though your eyes can see what is surrounding the subject you're drawn immediately to the subject (in this case the character and then a sculpture). Man-made framing can be used with buildings, fences, stair frames etc.

Natural framing:

This is very similar to man-made framing except it uses nature. Here we are drawn to a character standing in the distance. Natural framing can be used with tree blanches, plants etc. 

Rule of thirds:
Rule of thirds is used to create a nice image/scene. The red circles are called hotspots; this is a very common place for a subject to be put. The is usually a limited amount of things within the shot created several different effects. Below we have a person as the subject for the hotspot and the second one we have a very clear top, bottom and sides, another useful effect. It creates a sense of emptiness until we see the center which has a lot going on. 

Leading lines:Leading lines draw your eyes to a specific point. In this images we can follow the bins to the subjects in the background (the two people talking). We can also see lines within the tiles on the ground that lead to them. 

All three:Here we have the lockers framing the subjects on the bench, the shape of the wall also works well for this. We have pillars leading the way and also floor tiles as reading lines. Rule of thirds is also used in this image. We can see this from the clear sides. Little is happing on the right and left of the image and the ceiling and floor is empty.
