There's a lot of rules about composition but eventually good rules will contradict each other, less is more but sometimes less is actually less. Technical pitfalls are an easy distraction to the real job at hand, telling a story. I have retrained myself to actually stress out more about good staging with exposition through subtext. You can accomplish a lot of narrative using simple objects regardless of technical format. If you have a choice of which minutiae to error on, the side of technical or narrative, train yourself to pay more attention to the narrative. A perfect shot is a dime a dozen in Hollywood. Technical difficulties are easily resolve usually with a manual but growing your personal storytelling instinct goes out window when things go wrong on set. You get your perfect shot but the narrative usually suffers.
