XIV

In photography, filmography and other visual arts, lead room,/sometimes nose room, is the "space in front." And in the direction of, "moving or stationary subjects." Well-composed shots leave space in the direction the subject is facing. Or moving. When the human eye scans a photograph for the first time it will expect——to see a bit in front of the subject.

For example, "moving objects such as cars require lead room." If extra space is allowed in front of a moving car, the viewer can see that it has someplace——to go; without this visual padding, the car's progress will seem impeded.
