- the power of suggestion and mystery in the storytelling process

 

- an over the shoulder camera position - shallow depth of field

 

- the visual power of implied movement along the major diagonals

 

- the power of gesture

 

- psychological power of working in monotone

 

- repetition as a unifying element of visual design
