Funny how one can go to film school, shoot and edit stuff, read many books about filmmaking, as well as watch hundreds of tutorials and essays, and yet this video was the best informative piece I've ever seen on this specific subject. You simply explained it very well with those examples. My only advice would be to use less modern examples!
@@SightseeingStan mostly because it's quite overdone; I've seen so many essays with the same identical films that it would be really cool and help you differentiate to have different examples that aren't always films from Villeneuve, Tarantino or Nolan, or a different show than Mr Robot. You brought many movies here so I'm not saying you were limited to those directors but they are the ones who featured the most and it's just my opinion by saying it would be refreshing to see a channel that combines your ability to explain to less already-seen examples, but I could be wrong!
Hey I’m interested in going to film school, although I don’t know if I should do that for university or as an extra course after. Is there any tips or advice you can give?
Excellent video, I'll only point out that you shared 9 not 7 compositional techniques, those being: 1. FOCAL POINT 2. RULE OF 3RDS 3. LEADING LINES 4. NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE SPACE 5. HEAD ROOM AND LOOKING ROOM 6. BALANCE 7. FRAMING 8. DEPTH: FOREGROUND MID-GROUND AND BACKGROUND 9. COLOR AND CONTRAST But again, outstanding work Stan!
Information is excellent. I think the last remark about ' no right or wrong just make it interesting', is where storytellers and directors go wrong. Interesting can distract from story. The shot needs to reflect the meaning and emotional dynamics of the scene--if it's just interesting, it won't convey plot, suspense, or mood: no emotional continuity. If story and shot are at odds, you get cofusion. A film should be understandable without words. No frames wasted on interesting. My opinion is that beauty is a better guide than interesting.
Thanks for the concise and helpful explanation. It'll definitely make me more aware about the techniques being used when I watch films, and hopefully enable me to make more conscious decisions in own projects.
Thank you for this vidéo, everyday i learn a lot of informations about filmaking, i don't have the money for this but this type of vidéos make me interested everytime and surprise how much this world of filmaking is big and creative and how much of work on the films, is very professionnel and is not easy to create a professionnal film
Hey. I am always thinking about the cinema. It's not just starting from any technology or can't say it's updating or upgrading. I believe that in the cinema or still photography industry there are unbelievably specialized people who have with their own skills.So, composition or framing is one of the major part of driving people's mind withing 1.30 hour in film hall.
Wow I was reaching for this kind of video for my TH-cam channel & this video is a direct Bulls eye with great info of film making which will really help me.
Very useful presentation, that's a very practical stuff...! I as cinematography enthusiast, I learned a lot, Thank you so much for taking time to organize and share this video.
The good news is, you can place your subject anywhere in the frame. You're lucky that wherever you put it, it's the focal point of one rule or another!
i loved the video so much thanks man really great effort ....what hijacked my eyes is the transitions used in the video can you tell me where can i get it ? it looks great
Yes, if you pause at a specific frame that matches the golden ratio perfectly, it applies. But most of the times when frames and people in it are moving, it doesn't. It is by far not as strict as people make it to be on youtube.
unrelated but i would love to know your opinion on the new Fujifilm X-M5? would you recommend that or the Sony ZV E-10 for beginners that would like to start making video (not just vlogging but also landscapes) content. or maybe some other camera that you would consider in that price range. thanks!
@2424rocket 1 second ago I wish people would stop using the word cinematic since most people don’t know what they’re talking about. There’s no such thing as cinematic composition. Just doesn’t exist. Either you know how to do good composition or you don’t. You understand balance or you don’t. I think in my next video I won’t make cinematic composition I’ll just make regular composition. Does that even make sense to you?. It’s all click bait. If you use the word cinematic people get excited… Because in general, they are clueless. If you want to learn composition, go look at the great paintings of the world, go watch the great cinematographers of the world… That’s how you learn to compose. But it’s kind of like music… You either feel it or you don’t feel it.
Complete nonsense. Anyone citing the rule of thirds should be immediately disqualified from any conversation about composition. Rules are constantly subverted to create style or dislocation. Just complete BS.
03:14 rule of third : listen to a third of your video and fall asleep ! Put some variation in your diction for god sake. Your video is interesting but the voice is spoiling it.

Why less modern examples though?

7:38 which movie scene?
Kon kon India se hai 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I prefer the rule of 4ths over rule of 3rds
Can anyone suggest some movies with best compositional techniques ?
👌

I wish you'd add the name of each movie, as lower thirds.
To enhance our viewing list of movies worth watching, for their photography.
I'll keep it in mind for the next one 👍
It's a relevant idea. Although, I loved playing the "What Flick Is This?" game!

Great video, but extremely annoying monotonic voice, I stopped at the 5ish minute mark.
