    Mastering how to shoot textbook, (as these fixes show), is a pre-requisite for effectively breaking the rules of textbook shooting. However, it's just as important to know why, and what a composition is for.

    Some directors do purposely use these techniques for effect, but for most of us these are things that you'll generally want to avoid unless there's some compelling narrative reason not to. It's really a matter of knowing the rules before you can know when to break them.

    Other than the first one, these aren't necessarily wrong. In fact some of these are great assets for visual story telling. Like a high angle shot of somebody can make them look small and insignificant. I'm just saying, these are not mistakes (other than the lighting one). More stylistic choices.

    True, these techniques can sometimes be used purposely for effect. But it's a matter of knowing when to use them rather than using them indiscriminately as some beginning videographers do.

    the first shot back-lit was the most interesting, and not wrong
