The perfect composition of frames from famous films

"Composition is everything," Raymond Ti is sure. On Instagram, he posts static frames from famous films and puts lines on them that reveal the entire composition.

"Raging Bull" by Martin Scorsese.

It all starts with the main thing — the rule of thirds. This is the basic rule of placing items — they should not be in the middle. In simple terms, the rule of thirds states that there are certain "hot spots" on the screen, areas of intensity, and when objects are located within these points, the composition will become more energetic and interesting.

"Oldboy", Park Chang Wook.

The diagonal composition is the most dynamic technique in the construction of the frame. According to this rule, the most important objects should be placed along diagonal lines. The diagonal running from the bottom to the upper right corner is considered the most life-affirming, giving the greatest dynamism to the image.
