Emotions and Geometry

 Emotions play an important part when geometry is brought into a film. It is used to amplify emotions and create a visual language that can be closer to the spectators. 

Symmetrical compositions and geometrically balanced frames can create a sense of harmony, stability, order, calmness and balance.

On the other hand, we can find filmmakers that may employ geometric dissonance and symmetry to evoke feelings of chaos, unease, conflict or inestability.

Then we have the use of geometrically enclosed spaces, such as narrow hallways, small rooms, or tight mazes, that evoke feelings of claustrophobia and confinement, uneasem vulnerability and entrapment. On the contrary, open spaces give an impression of freedom.

Geometric shapes and patterns can also be used to visually represent character development or emotional transformation; a character initially portrayed in rigid and angular compositions may transition to more organic and flowing geometries as they undergo personal growth and change.

Finally, filmmakers may employ repetition of geometric patterns or motifs to create a rhythmic visual language that mirrors the emotional beats of a story. This repetition can create a sense of anticipation, or reinforce a specific mood.
