Tony Zhou from Every Frame a Painting has a great post on how Akira Kurosawa used movement as a tool for story telling.
I think the idea of using movement to tell a story is one of the hardest to convey to graphic design students. Part of the problem of course is that so much of what we do as designers doesn't really move, but knowing where the elements on the page were before they got there, and where they are going when you look away, is key to creating tension and movement on a page or interface screen.
Another great video essay by Zhou is on the use of the Quadrant System.
More of Zhou's work can be found at his youtube page, and you can support his work and get extra commentary on his Patreon page.
