Simple Lines Reveal Masterful Compositions in Iconic Film Scenes #ArtTuesday
Geometric Shots is a visually stimulating new project from Raymond Thi that explores the geometry behind some of the most famous film stills.
A collection of geometric shots from film and TV.
You can keep scrolling, use the menu or click on the tags.
There are infinite ways to frame a shot. There are no rules you have to follow.
This site merely explores a certain type of composition.
Every Tuesday is Art Tuesday here at Adafruit! Today we celebrate artists and makers from around the world who are designing innovative and creative works using technology, science, electronics and more. You can start your own career as an artist today with Adafruit’s conductive paints, art-related electronics kits, LEDs, wearables, 3D printers and more! Make your most imaginative designs come to life with our helpful tutorials from the Adafruit Learning System. And don’t forget to check in every Art Tuesday for more artistic inspiration here on the Adafruit Blog!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Like the frequent fitting of the “Fibonacci Spiral” on nature photos (ferns, shells, etc), most of these look ridiculously forced; the actual element, even in the exemplar here, do *not* match the overlays. In the above example, the cinematographer is being *far* more sophisticated than the elementary lines drawn – you can see the hands reaching (at the lower sides) *above* the slope used – the slope is plain and simply *wrong*
If you follow the lines of the reaching hands, they lead not to the woman, but to the *creature* – then *accelerating* (with the high contrast) to the female figure.
Almost every example beyond is similarly trivial, and mostly forced – most of the visual lines are plain-and-simple single-point perspective – and the examples shown don’t even bother to follow the actual lines in the images.
Yes, the images are masterfully composed – but at least give credit for what the cinematographers actually *did*, rather than trying to make it look like they *missed* the composition.
