Want to see the composition concepts used in famous scenes from famous movies? Raymond Thi of Composition Cam has been taking still frames and overlaying neon pink lines to show things like symmetry, thirds, quadrants, triangles, diagonals, and more.

You may remember the shot above from the film The Shining by Stanley Kubrik. Here are some more images created by Thi:
