Abstract
From the period when cinematic screenplays took on a dramatic course, fiction and literature greatly influenced screenplays, but from the 1980s onwards, cinema influenced fiction and led to its visualization. Writers after this period have stronger visual aspects of their stories than pre-cinema writers; Because the desire to see narratives in a broader and more exciting dimension encouraged them to write screenplays. Among these capabilities, which are considered by novelists as a technical model in illustration in modern fiction, are cinematic compositions. Composition allows the illustrator to select, distinguish, and limit the subject of the image to show what is most perceptually and emotionally important to the audience ʻAicha Arnaout, a Syrian-Albanian poet and writer with a background in acting in cinema and theater, is one of the novelists who has taken a conscious approach to this cinematic technique in the novel " I lead you to  my other". This research tries to explore the meaningful reflections of shot composition in this narrative of her in a descriptive-analytical manner. The results show that with various framing effects such as deep framing, wide curtain method, multi-frame, out-of-frame framing and moving framing, Arnāʼūṭ tries to show many aspects of the story through the frame and the narration of the image. In this way, the audience will be able to face the details of the story in a more comprehensive way
