Theory on various techniques and principles of audiovisual composition commonly employed by cinematographers in cinema and television series. This includes discussions on composition criteria such as the rule of thirds, dynamic symmetry, the golden ratio, and odd numbers rule. It covers a variety of topics including figure-ground relationship, focus, concepts like "filling the frame" and "frame within a frame," the law of the gaze, guide lines, and headroom, among many other elements crucial to framing composition.

As many people were asking about the names of the movies, I finally did what several of you have been requesting for a while-I've added a subtitle file with the names of most of the movies that appear throughout the video (except for a few shots that I couldn't recall or trace back to their origins). If you happen to recognize any movies that are missing their names in the subtitles, please let me know so I can add them (or if I mistakenly inputted a name).
