Left/Right subtextual meaning origin Something pretty common when framing a shot is on which side of the screen the subject is placed. With regards to portraits, when the subject faces the left end of the screen it's conducive towards a more highly neurotic mood. When looking to the right it comes off less neurotic with an association of positive emotion. Where/When exactly did we determine that this is the subtext to the composition on screen? Don't really know if this is the right sub for this so potential sorry here.
