Every single shot in cinema uses composition, but those images that hunt us evoke such deep emotions, not only because they’re beautiful, but because they carry meaning.
This is what this extraordinary 16min length video is all about. It shows how composition can be used to attract our attention, but also mostly to affect us on a psychological level.
– Written and performed by Lewis Bond.
