Animation techniques - Staging

The purpose of staging is to direct the audience's attention towards a certain character or object and make it clear what the main 'focal point' of the scene is, for example to show what is happening, and what is about to happen, whether that idea is an action, a personality, an expression or a mood. This can be done by various means, such as the placement of a character in the frame, the use of light and shadow, and the angle and position of the camera.The main point of this principle is keeping focus on what is relevant, and avoiding unnecessary detail.
