The following two are the ones that I was deciding between...

Framing devices

Can be a literal frame, environmental or structural frame, framing with light or lack of light. "A technique used to bring focus to a subject" - The Framing Device is a narrative technique in which a story is surrounded by a secondary story, creating a story within a story, often through Separate Scene Storytelling. 

Angles and grids

Creating images where angles and grids are emphasised. Are used by filmmakers and photographers - angles and grids are used to create a pattern which is appealing to the human eye. It makes the viewer more interested in what they are seeing.

The following are the rest of the topics...

Foreground and background

Can create drama and impact in the image by carefully considering the relationship between foreground and background. A dark foreground can help frame the subject and lead the viewer into the scene - an object that is closer to the viewer.  The background is the rest of the scene that appears further away from the viewer. 

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is used to provide comparison and emphasise contrast. The visual elements in an image can be juxtaposed. The objects must close to each other in order to represent the contrast. Juxtaposition gives an "effect on the photo" which means the amount of time we actually spend looking at the image. 

Objects in spaces

The relationship between objects and the places in which they are found, kept and used. They should relate otherwise the image will be confusing, unless the photograph is creative and unusual.
