Film composition, or composition in film, is a rather complicated concept when you realize just how much is involved. As Roger Deakins explains in this episode of Cinematography Techniques, blocking & staging, lighting, lenses, framing and more are all part and parcel of cinematic composition.

First, Deakins explains the unique challenge he and director Sam Mendes set before themselves in 1917. The decision to make the film appear as a single shot means that rules around composition, blocking & staging, and standard coverage required creative problem-solving. For example, in an early bunker scene, the entire blocking and staging of the actors and camera had to be reworked to ensure that the camera was always focused on the most important subject(s) at any given time. And, so, a second table was brought in and the choreography was adjusted to maintain their “single-shot goal” while keeping the framing and composition active and meaningful.

In a film like Kundun, Deakins explains how director Martin Scorsese wanted symmetrical, proscenium framing to support the film’s themes around Buddhism and the power held by the boy leader. Whereas this formal elegance would be antithetical to the grounded and chaotic world of war in Jarhead. Here, handheld cameras help create a purposefully inconsistent cinematic composition.

Film composition follows similar standards as photography composition and this is where Roger Deakins first learned about them. By studying the location, the lighting, deciding on a lens, where you place the camera, all of these decisions combine when deciding on composition.
