Symmetry In Wes Anderson's Films

[JAS_Photo]

Often, as photographers we are told to not put key items dead center in a photo but there is a technique of symmetry that rebels against that rule. That central object might be placed on a third horizontally but they are always dead centre on the vertical lines. An interesting short video of the technique below.
