Short Film : The Quadrant System

The quadrant system is a compositional style that splits the frame into halves : top and bottom, left and right. This is perfectly illustrated and explained in this video by Every Frame a Painting.

This is my first attempt at making a film, and I know that I will be lost with the innumerable choices of composition. The quadrant system is a simple yet beautiful, and well-balanced tool, which I will attempt to use throughout my film.
