One film that had a profound impact on me was Whiplash directed by Damien Chazelle. I know many people like to critique the movie's inaccuracy when it comes to music and other semantics: however, the cinematography was beautiful and there was a wonderful progression with each character. The cinematography was well composed and all shots were evenly balanced. Compositionally, the movie always followed the golden rule and I could appreciate every single scene. I'm fairly new to the world of film and editing, but I will always draw inspiration from this film no matter how advanced I become in the cinematic world.
