Composition refers to how the elements on screen (actors, scenery, props, etc.) appear in respect to each other and within the frame itself.
Film composition, or composition in film, is a rather complicated concept when you realize just how much is involved.
Film composition follows similar standards as photography composition.
By studying the location, the lighting, deciding on a lens, where you place the camera, all of these decisions combine when deciding on composition.

what font did you use for the title page at the begining of the video?

[@MastersofCinematography]

I have no presence of mind. I will check and let you know

[@MastersofCinematography]

Finally: marcellus

[@EntertainingRunner-vd3bn]

What separates Deakins is his use of Primes, Minimal movement, Photo'esc shots, and phenomenal use of lighting for mood.

Can you do Oldboy (2003)? One of my favorites and I think it has some pretty impressive shots. Also any Akira Kurosawa movie would also be nice to see. Love your content man!!

[@MastersofCinematography]

Thank you very much. I will definitely think of Oldboy. Thank you for your comment. Yes sure. Kurosawa is one of the great directors of cinema and I will work on one of his films soon. ❤🙏🏾

[@MastersofCinematography]

Do you have any suggestions for Kurosawa movies? Or Japanese cinema

[@brunobilandzija1823]

Glad you enjoy it!♥️

[@vincentgoupil180]

*Thanks* Especially since there wasn't any distracting verbiage :) Misc. Recently saw a *great* shot of a man* standing alone with a pickup truck on the top level of an empty parking garage looking into the distance of a lighted complex apartment either during dusk or twilight. Inside the apartment was a women holding her son, assumed. Believe the cinematography was by *Robby Mueller* . It struck me of all the movies watched, i.e. "Down By Law", he was the cinematographer and how good he is. Howabout showing your favorite cinematographer (new to your blog so excuse if it's has been done). Duh, just noticed you covered "Paris Texas". Will watch * Harry Dean Stanton ? 1:08 Reminiscent of Edward Hopper's "Night Hawks" 1942 painting simplified.

Wonderful work. (also, great job on Refn's Too old to die young). Subbed ..

[@MastersofCinematography]

I'm very excited about your suggestions. It is clear that you have a good taste in movies. Thank you very much and I will definitely check them out😊❤🙏🏾

[@Magemo7]

Should be even more interesting doing this with the imax ratio

[@henrique21890]

Can you make a composition in cinematography with Christopher Nolan's Tenet?

[@MastersofCinematography]

Tenet is not my favorite movie But in the future I think I make do Nolan's Batman

[@henrique21890]

@@MastersofCinematography ok, and Inception?

[@MastersofCinematography]

@@henrique21890 In my opinion, Inception is very strong in terms of cinematography technique. But not in terms of composition.

[@officialnasfu7583]

Fantastic, thank you! I love Mr Gosling in this and Driver, absolute master pieces!

[@chrisfilmedit7631]

Great job

[@MastersofCinematography]

Thank you Chris🙏🏻

[@cory99998]

Is there somewhere to find a massive list of these various composition techniques?

[@MastersofCinematography]

The only source is information about photography. Both books and websites

[@DanielGreen0]

I love this idea of videos, would like to see more. Though, in some of the shots, I didn't quite understand the difference between the golden ratio and the rule of thirds.

[@MastersofCinematography]

More clips are on the way. The golden ratio corresponds to the Fibonacci spiral but the golden ratio is a separate composition. And thank you for your support🙏🏻💕

How does "Center Dominant Eye" works?

[@MastersofCinematography]

Focus on the subject's eyes and a direct impact on the viewer

[@pizzaman4125]

@@MastersofCinematography Thank you! Great video by the way. Really clear and helpful.

[@MastersofCinematography]

@@pizzaman4125 Thank you Pizza man🙏🏻😉

[@vincentgoupil180]

Also, "center dominant eye" has another meaning perhaps not in cinematography. Focus the tip of a finger on a distant point or object with both eyes. Then close both eyes and open one. Repeat with the other eye, close both open one. Your dominant eye will be the one still on the distant object while non-dominant eye will not. The thing is how to translate the way we see the world stero-grahically into a two dimensional media like film similiar to reducing the perceived colors of the world in front of us to the limited gamut of film. Perhaps, have the center dominant eye centered on the object center screen while realizing there is another secondary lesser dominant center in the shot having two focal points, major and minor, for the viewer (depending on the distance from camera to object) ? Adding a meaning to the second lesser focal point to play off the dominant center might give an extra dimension to the movie.

[@BingoBabyO]

Can you do this for the original Blade Runner 1982?

[@MastersofCinematography]

Will surely be in future plans🌹🙏🏾

[@BingoBabyO]

@@MastersofCinematography You are truly the master.

[@MastersofCinematography]

@@BingoBabyO Thank a lot 🌹🙂♥️🙏🏾

[@ericacordebois7081]

J'ai l'impression d'un 3ème œil, celui de la caméra. Et d'un cheminement géométrique vu à travers l'oeil du chef op. Démarche intellectuelle de la réalisation.

[@MastersofCinematography]

Yes. Thats right

[@ericacordebois7081]

@@MastersofCinematography thanks !

[@lancearmsgone2298]

I think you read way too deep into the movie

[@dev1699]

its not about reading deep in the movie, its about learning the cinematography used in the movie.

[@vincentgoupil180]

Saying the hotel signage at 1:01 translated is "Moebius" in tribute to Jean Giraud's "The Long Tommorrow" influence on Blade Runner (1982) would be perhaps reading too deep. Otherwise *visually* showing the basic 101 cinematography formats of "Blade Runner 2049" is not. Ninety per cent of communication is visual whelter one realizes it or not.

[@dev1699]

@@vincentgoupil180 ohhh neat

[@vincentgoupil180]

@@dev1699 ... like dat ? And furthermore *over reading* Blade Runner 2049 *K* is based on Philip Kindred Dick. PKD had a twin sister who died six weeks after a premature birth six weeks earlier. He was obsessed with her being his "phantom twin" it could be proposed similiar to the movie that a twin was buried at Sapper's Morton Ranch P.K. Dick was buried in the same burial plot as his twin sister in Fort Morgan, Colorado. And on and on ... Now, that's reading too deep into the movie. Yes, Philip K. Dick was a replica :)
