George Miller – Mad Max:
Fury Road
This frame from the film adheres to the compositional “L”
rule. The car is the rectangular space round which the “L” is situated. As well
as this the focal point of the shot, Max and his car, dominate the shot but
remain separate without kissing.
Naughty Dog (Neil
Druckmann) – The Last of Us
Rule of Thirds
As you can see Ellie’s face is presented in the left section
of the frame, while Joel’s face and chest corresponds directly to the right
vertical intersection. The reflection in the window and the light spilling
through inside the vehicle adhere directly across the middle section of the
shot. At the same time the two outer sections, above and below, are much
darker. In this rule a compositionally important place is centred on Joel’s
frown, perhaps showing the discordance between Ellie’s look of wonder.
