WHAT CINEMATIC COMPOSITION DO YOU NOTICE IN THIS VIDEO?


Look at this small video of Dubai airport carefully. It has been shot by Waqar Hassan and uploaded to Pixabay. Dubai is the world's busiest airport by international traffic.


What is the striking feature of this small video? If you have read my micro lessons on Smartphone filmmaking, the chance is that you might be able to figure it out instantly.


There are three interesting features in this video. Number one is the Leading Lines, the second is the Symmetry and the third one is the smooth movement of the camera from one point to the other.


Notice how the videographer has used the Leading Straight Lines right from the conveyor belt and the side rails for the purpose of the composition.


Also, notice the beautiful symmetry in the video. One side appears to be almost like a mirror image of the other. And the last is the smooth movement of the camera without any jerks.


WHAT YOU CAN DO


Go near the nearest Railway station in your city and from the platform take a small video of the converging railway lines. You can also capture the train coming towards the platform. ( While doing so, please stay safe and do not do anything which could be risky for life)
