On a film set, bringing a project to life involves having a very clear understanding of the experience the story is supposed to deliver to an audience. Everyone from the prop master to the camera person has a sense of this experience goal. If the story (or a particular scene) is supposed to make the audience fall over with laughter, the cameraperson, to be sure, will frame each shot in a way that maximizes that goal. Every scene, every moment, every tangible element of a film works together for a purpose: to make it easier for audiences to understand and engage with a story and to create an emotional response to walk away with.

If you’re into this sort of thing, you’ll probably dig Cindy Chastain’s whole article at Boxes and Arrows.
