Cinematograpy
You could always tell if a movie has great cinematography if you can pause at any frame, and it would look good enough to hang on a wall. and this is something I want to achieve with my films, I want every frame of my films to be as beautiful as they can be.
One of my flaws in the filmmaking process is that I rush with camera and point and shoot straight away with minimal concentration on the meaning of the frame. sometimes the rule of thirds isn't enough. I though the best thing to do is to start watching films and concentrate on the cinematography only. look at how the place is lit, how the movie is lit, what tension does the framing create, and how well they work with each other with cuts, the pictures below are some frames I thought worked well in the film, story aside, they were still amazing as a composition on their own. Movies I watched for cinematography.
Casino (1995)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Blade Runner (1982)
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Only God Forgives (2013)
The General (1926)

Moving Camera
One of the key people who created such an atmosphere with a camera move, is Stanley Kubrick, and his one point perspective in particular.
