Adventure with Walter Mitty

 

Yesterday, at midnight, I was watching a movie called, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” You may wonder

how I found the movie. Actually, around 12 O’clock, I was watching a YouTube video about composition in

filmmaking. There the instructor mentioned this movie. 

After watching the trailer, I was so eager to watch the full movie. It is an adventure movie. I love adventures

and so do adventure movies.

The story is incredible and adventurous obviously. You will be able to glance at some of the beautiful landscapes

of Greenland, Iceland, and the Himalayas. I love nature and in the movie, the beauty of nature is represented in

an extraordinary way. 

The compositions (framing) of every shot are well-balanced. It was so pleasing and enjoyable to see. And its

outstanding way of representation really inspires me to be lost in nature.

At the beginning of the movie, the compositions are symmetrical with lots of leading lines. I found some

of them chaotic, breaking the basic composition rules. It is completely intentional to draw the viewer's

attention to the story.

I like this movie. For me, this movie is an ideal choice for adventurous people as well as

filmmakers and photographers to get a deep comprehension of composition.

personally...

I don't like to have the

distraction of the camera.

I just wanna stay on it.

Right there... Right here."
