Summary/Abstract: The article is a review of the book “Frame composition - characteristics and ele-ments”. The paper analyzes the rational laws and rules of composition in film, televi-sion and photography. Emphasis is placed on the methods that exist for applying the characteristics and compositional elements of a shot. Undoubtedly, one of the most used methods is the principle of the figure-base relationship established by Gestalt psychology. Cinematic composition determines the purpose and meaning of the visual image. This is what composition in cinema and in any of the visual arts is based on. Composition in cinema and photography is an art and its assessment is subjective but based on common elements and patterns by which people perceive images. Objective assessment of the research results in the dynamics of development and the impact of the effect on the film, television and photographic frame.
