Staging of action in the pro-filmic space: the impact of the scene is revolving around the pro-filmic scene, you can cover a great distance within this area; you do not need to cut. Framing: the camera sits there and tries to capture the events in the world around them. In some films, the framing will represent a dynamic through diagonals: e. g. Hitchcock who made thrillers: there are very specific rules of composition. The rule of thirds: our eyes usually go from top left to bottom right.
