This is a screen shot from the 1979 film Quadrophenia. Here we see an on board shot of Jimmy riding his moped. Just like the previous post this is set in the same era in is again very much to do with iconography and mise en scene. However i'm going to talk about composition in this post.
We can see Jimmy central in the frame giving him importance. As an audience we are looking straight at him, which emphasises this focus on him.
With this image we can apply the golden triangle on the main image. The moped acts as the base of the triangle with two lines going up either side of the main figure meeting above their head. By composing this image in this way the image looks more complete and organised, with emphasis on Jimmy.
