Composition notes

 - try different camera angles of the same thing

- maybe also create simple 3D block-outs of the characters to pose and angle (maybe try that for the mantic guys)

- also do values/ lighting passes with values

- compositions should work zoomed out too

brief movie/ show scene analysis:

- Lighting is kinda dull, its daytime but not sunny. it's coming in over the wall in the bg from the top left

- camera is sort of head on, and tilted sideways to make it more interesting, both characters are facing forwards, sword's facing away. both characters are in the centre, focus is on them (sword + building edges = leading lines?).  

- anything like hair or fabric is flairing out creating a sense of movement

- characters in the bg but not the focus of this specific screenshot, 

- The key art doesn't have to be anything crazy btw it doesn't need to be an action shot 

do all this every time you do compositions
