determining what the viewer sees (or doesn't see), as well as how the image is presented.

without hearing any spoken. It's possible to create scenes using this visual language if
you have a basic understanding of composition and scene structure. Learn how to
compose each shot such that it is visually appealing for the spectator and how many
pictures combine to create a clear, coherent narrative. Your movies will be more thrilling
and engaging if you follow these straightforward guidelines.
