The concept of"composition",which originated in painting,has been used in visual arts up to the present day.Howev-er,little thought has been given to the contemporary significance of this ancient concept.In fact,in modern and contemporary visu-al art forms or media,the continued use of"composition"often prevents users from thinking and innovating on the new art form or medium and its language.In cinema,the traditional picture frame has been replaced by the view frame.The frame not only implies that the visual content inside the frame is closely related to the material world outside the frame,but also that the nature of docu-mentation of films and its movement characteristics have subverted the basic principles of traditional composition.Therefore,there is only framing in films,not composition!From"composition"to"framing"is not only a change of concept,but also an inevitable self-understanding and the revolution of the conception of films.
