Notes for visual storytelling

Direction (on screen)
If you move left to right then your more likely to like that character, and vice versa.

Leading the eye
You can use light and sound to make the audience look at what you want them to look at.

Balance and imbalance
If you make a shot without symmetry/imbalanced then it can make the viewer think there is something missing.

Size
Make an important object framed big if it's small e.g nail, engagement ring.

Lines
It separates a physical or physiological environment.

Scene to scene
Have something the same or different when changing scene.
