    I went through a course on composition in photography, and I've watched a bunch of other videos on that subject too, and I have to say, the cinema folks really get it. This material is way clearer than anything that you'd find on photography.

    • @gregorylagrange
      @gregorylagrange 2 года назад +2

      Cinema might have an advantage for making you understand what composition is doing because motion, dialogue, and actors portraying all the feelings that composition is supposed to support.
      If an actor is portraying feeling isolated, the dialogue and the composition are going to compliment and reflect that as well.

    I recommend that anyone interested in these things start by actually doing and studying photography. Best way to learn how to utilize natural elements without a set or crew or anything else. Kubrick (the best to ever make films) was a staff photographer for Look Magazine before he started filmmaking. He studied the works of Henry Cartier Bresson a lot (who is mentioned in this).
