Background
Foreground
Graphic space
Aspect in relation to your key frame

Spacial structure in an image. Good to split into thirds.

The floor - what is it made of? As soon as you know you will be able to determine what pose to put your character in. The surface dictates the movement.

Architecture -
Real observed, historical detail, accuracy, deliberate deviation and exaggeration, modern becomes historic in time.

What is mobile? What is immobile?

Camera mobility -

• locked and cutting
• loose head
• hand held
• pull back
• panning
• tilting
• zooming
• camera language and use

Every line that is made on a page is delinating the space

Thirds-
Bottom third often where animation takes place.
