Wes Anderson // Centered from kogonada on Vimeo.
Many directors and cinematographers will use the rule of thirds to place important information along the two vertical lines, Wes Anderson however, breaks this rule all the time and this montage demonstrates his perfect use of symmetry and central compositions.
Joe Penna uses this Screen Mapping or Video Puzzle technique to create some wonderfully unique shots.

Joe Penna again using his Video Puzzle methods in this music video. This video would have been much more challenging as it requires perfectly times movement of the phones which the videos are being played from. I really like the way he has used movement and composition in pre-production rather than post-production to create this unique video.
Pomplamoose's use of a single projector and a white foam set is greatly inspiring.

The Kuleshov Effect is a great example of the power of editing and the way in which shots are juxtaposed with each other.
Zach King's 7 second Vine videos include a lot him interacting with screens and monitors. This is something that I would like to try.
I used was motivated by the character design of Red from John Lasseter's 1987 Pixar short "Red's Dream" to sketch my own bicycle.
This technique of taking foreground elements from a still photo, separating them from their background and animating a camera creates the illusion of a three dimensional environment, with movement as well, even though nobody moves in the frame. This effect has much more of an impact on audiences as opposed to the traditional Ken Burns look of simply zooming in or out of an image.
This Mumford & Sons video makes use of visual effects to clone the musicians multiple times. The continuous one-take shot engages an audience and keeps them with anticipation for what is going to be revealed by the camera next.

Ryan Connolly from Film Riot created a similar effect to the Mumford & Sons music video in this freeze time video. By moving the camera around while having the actors stand still, Connolly was able to create the effect of frozen time. I think the dynamics of this effect bring a new level of sophistication to DIY filmmaking.

The Slow Mo Guys filmed themselves pulling faces at 2000 frames per second. The ability to see this much expression and detail in the movements of somebodies face is something I would like to explore in my pieces.
This hyperlapse shows how much camera movement can affect the viewing experience of a film for somebody.
The bright, colourful colours in Mario Kart's "Moonview Highway" level and the harsh lines make everything appear more rushed and hectic.
