Rule of Thirds & The Golden Ratio
This shot is my favourite shot in our short, and after analysis it's not hard to realise why. The framing is very close to a ratio found all around nature. The green lines represent The Golden Ratio, a 68/32 ratio. As you can see, our protagonist's body is close to the horizontal divide, whilst the horizon near perfectly lines up to the vertical line.
A composition of both The Rule of Thirds and The Golden Ratio, showing the similarity between them. In this shot, the bench along the bottom of the shot is fairly close to the vertical divide.
Here's a shot from Run Lola Run, which also shows the golden ratio being used. The background scenery possesses a clear line of contrast which conveniently matches up near perfectly with the vertical ratio line.
