Everything on screen matters. Modern Cinema is a HIGHLY evolved art form. If you have any interest in this at all, YouTube user Every Frame A Painting publishes, short, easily digestible, and well-produced YouTube videos about this stuff that are eye-opening.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Edgar Wright - How to Do Visual Comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOzD4Sfgag

The Silence of the Lambs - Who Wins the Scene? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V-k-p4wzxg

Michael Bay - What is Bayhem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2THVvshvq0Q

Thanks for the links - excellent depth in the analysis. Loved the ones on Jackie Chan.

You're totally welcome. I'm not personally involved in that YouTube channel, but I try to spread it far and wide. It's such a great gem of content.
