    This is exactly why I think 360 cameras will never replace traditional cameras. It completely ignores the art of composition and framing! Great reminder, I always need to remember the importance of composition!

      @PhilipReber 7 років тому +2

      WeekendWarriors I agree completely, and that feature is really cool, but simply watching things in 360 I feel like there always seems to be something missing, and that is composition.

      If VR cinema ever happen one day it might get there to the point where having a 360 to film might be a cool thing to have. But maybe even there filming an environment of that kind might be better to just build a 3D environment instead of trying to film the 360 environment.
      I don't know....
      By the way what I mean by VR cinema I mean to be able to turn around and be able to look at everything there is around but not having to have a controller to interact.

    I completely agree with you, its basic filmmaking. HOWEVER what is also basic filmmaking, is using composition in the WHOLE shot. For example, that drone shot of the sea where you said there is nothing to focus on, That is the whole point! Its a wide angle of beautiful scenery, your suppose to be in awe with the shot not a subject. You can't have a subject in every single shot, thats not creative.

    It's so funny. I met lots of people who are stuck when it's about composition...not only in film making, but for concept art and backgrounds in general. So many complain about why they don't get better or not getting enough comments and positive feedback. In the end you are good at using your gear, but when the fundamentals are not learned...or you even forgot about that you miss so many good opportunities. I mean it has a reason why Disney (specially the classics)for example are loved by so many...it's not only about storytelling, character design, fx and colours. It is about leading the eye and create a feeling through composition. And even professionals have to get back to the basics sometimes...just to remember how it works. :)
    .
    Thank you so much for sharing!!!
    PS: Even though Cinderella is not my favorite Disney movie...it has an incredible composition...WOAH!
    .
