Why You NEED This Composition Technique | The Golden Spiral, Explained

Hi,

Well, I have been speaking about the Rule of thirds, symmetry, and just when you think you're mastering them there's another rule!  The Golden Spiral.  It's based on the Fibonacci Spiral.  It can be found in many other things as well, like in Nature, and even in share trading!

Here's a clip to explain it.  Are you using the Golden Spiral?  What's your favourite rule or you use the appropriate rule for the appropriate situation?  Comment below.

Why is there symmetry in film?

Hi,

While I've been writing about the Rule of Thirds another rule is the Rule of Symmetry.  Which is probably quite common as a natural instinct.  Of placing the subject in the middle and balancing it.  Used to focus the attention on the main subject of the frame.  'Here it is, look at this!'

Used quite a bit by Stanley Kubrick and quite a style by Wes Anderson.  Have a look and see what  you think.  You probably use it a lot.  However do you use it with purpose?  Let me know below.
