Directionality

Directionality describes movements of subjects or objects (or the camera itself) within the frame and can be implemented in accordance with the various axes and vectors within a frame such as:

• Vertical directions
• Horizontal directions
• Diagonal directions
• Directions along the z-axis

Every object within the frame that is not static has a certain directional property. Directionality is obviously a very important element within the language of visual design. It often has a dramatic value in itself or carries a certain message.
