Seven Visual Story Components

Cue	Notes
	Space: Emphasizing longitudinal planes is important to develop deep space.
	Line and Shape Evaluating the light can be helpful because line can be controlled through lighting.
	Tone: You must know where you want the audience to be looking. Don’t confuse color with tone. Use tone to add significance to certain objects
	Color: The editor has ultimate control over color. The golden hour is used a lot in movies and tv shows (cinema)
	Movement: Profile in character movement projects certain qualities of characters and their personality.
	Rhythm: Don’t confuse rhythm with movement. When dialog is included, find the sound’s rhythm before you define the visual rhythm.
