Document Summary
In our effort to tame space aesthetically, that is, to create a picture space, you should now consider the video, computer, and motion picture screens a new field of operations. Within this fixed and clearly defined space operate specific field forces that are quite different from those of an undefined space, such as our actual three-dimensional environment. To show events within this clearly defined visual field with optimal impact, you must understand these major field forces: main directions, magnetism of the frame, asymmetry of the frame, figure and ground, psychological closure, and vectors. And immediately seek a new stable reference: ex: when sitting in an airplane that banks sharply, we tend to assign stability to the airplane and not the earth. Because of this, the horizon not the airplane seems to be tilting. Lacking a stable reference can cause considerable psychophysical discomfort. By canting the camera you can easily destabilize a scene.
