[@rickymcc8624]

Thanks. Interesting and some very good points. I'm new to video, with much to learn, but as an experienced long term stills photographer most of this is now second nature to me. I find l naturally tend to apply most of these composition tips (aka rules) without needing to think about doing so. But it's also good to be able to break them for visual effect too. IMO that comes naturally too, with practice. I just need to be able to get better at combining different compositions with appropriate movement for good visual effect and harmony with the intended story.
Too much random motion or ill considered framing jumping from one to another rule can IMO be visually jarring. I'm coming to understand that 'story' is king and should probably drive everything else. That said I'm a sucker for dramatic composition that helps portray drama, scale with a bit of visual 'wow' - but as I said I still have much to learn.

[@BreadfruitStudios]

Wow!
It is beautiful to read your experience. And yes, many still photographers already practiced these rules by natural instincts. Because photography is an art form and any photographer who's passionate about photography will find themselves already composing beautiful shots applying these techniques even before they learn it officially. And when they move to Filmmaking, it becomes even easier for them like a walk in a park.
As you practice these rules, you'll find that you get better at it faster than any other newbie in Filmmaker who didn't have photographer knowledge prior. And now you know exactly why you're doing it, not just because they look good but why are you doing it?
And like you said, the story is king. So every shot technique you apply must move your story forward otherwise it's nothing.
Well-done!

People want to see a good movie the rules doesn't matter...if the movie is bad...bad actors..bad directing...and forcing an idea...I don't care what technique or tools you use.

[@BreadfruitStudios]

You're right that people want to see a good movie. And it starts with a good story and a good script. But the story won't be felt if it wasn't shot well for the screen, since the cinema audience won't be reading the script. So if you want to turn that good script into a great film then you certainly need these cinematic techniques. It's not just about using the techniques, but applying them where needed to help drive home your message is very vital for your film
