Staging
Staging directs the people's attentions toward the most important elements in a scene that gives each story a progress. It is the principle that every action that a character makes should convey a clear intention. As Johnston and Thomas defined this principle as, "the presentation of any idea so that it is completely and unmistakably clear," whether that idea is a personality, an action or an expression. Staging can be done in different ways, such as the angle or the position of the camera, the way an animator place the character in the scene, and the use of light and shadow in the film. The importance of this principle is avoiding the unwanted detail and keeping the focus on what is relevant in a scene.
For instance, if you are to isolate these images of Mr. Bean and make a silhouette of each of his poses, you will still get the idea that he is looking for someone/something in the first picture, enjoying his ice cream in the second picture, and very angry in the third picture.
