Excellent you've just made not listening for two years of film classes worth it in just under 16 minutes. FANTASTIC WORK HAHAH
@jakestockstillDP
Another tip for the “leading room” thing: if you want to make an uneasy feeling like something is following or about to attack your subject, you can give them a bunch of follow room/ space behind them🤘🏻

THIS is what we need rather than just showing cinematic scenes. THANK YOU for logically breaking down hollywood scenes!

@xenofi1128
I love that you mention that rules can be broken. But with the condition that one knows the rules first.
@reginaldrasyid2456
Absolutely incredible! I'm not a filmmaker, but I'm trying to write a novel about an amateur filmmaker. I can finally write dialogues about them geeking on cinema. Thank you.
@Baleur
This makes so much more sense than all other explanations of the rule of 3rds i've seen. They always talk about "put subjects inside the boxes", but that never "felt" right. What you guys are talking about here, putting subjects on the LINES or intersections, makes much more sense.
@BoiseyMusic
I love that you used The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It's one of my favorite films ever and I hate that it got panned so hard by critics. Such a beautifully composed film.
@mrmaramind
I’m not a film director, but that was very interesting and informative.
@DrSidewayZ
The amount of knowledge in these videos are astonishing I can’t believe you guys are giving this to us free of charge I can’t wait to put it into motion! I can only imagine what’s included in the actual class!
@davidunoi7099
I must say I appreciate very much your use of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty at the end. The compositions in that film were so forceful i felt it in my soul when i watched it. It was the perfect match of shot composition and soundtrack choice that made that film so atmospheric i felt like I was experiencing it long with him.
@MikkoRantalainen
I think the tip around 7:50 is the most important. If you're not sure if the composition is great, try moving the camera around 10 cm to any direction and see what happens to the background and foreground of your composition. It's claimed that Ansel Adams said that moving the camera one inch makes all the difference. Also remember to check that posts and handrails do not appear as if growing out of the human subject's ear, unless that's the feeling you're actually looking for.
@Steamj2
I know this might seem obvious but i realised that when the video cuts to him talking the part has all the tips used. He puts himself in the center to show authority, then he balances the frame by adding a plant and a laptop, in the background the lines in the wood guides the viewers to him and the camera focuses on him by lowering the aperture. Speaking of backgrounds he also distances himself from the background. He also leaves some space but not too big of a space on top of his head like he suggested. He also placed himself to align with the corner achieving symmetry while also not leaving vacant too much space
@uw7
This is the best and more comprehensive explanation of cinematic frame composition I've even watched. Thank you so much!
@Hennir_97
A lot of people say "break the rules", but they never give any clarification or reason to do so! Thanks for being so clear and descriptive!
