Movement/Motion




Implied motion means that motion is suggested, but not shown in action. The implied motion in these photos is shown through the Gestalt Law of Continuation. The Law of Continuation states that we expect lines and patterns to continue.  The pattern of the track, sides of track, and railing imply that the car is moving. The car itself is still.  Another indication of implied motion is the wheels, which show a continuous pattern. The photo also displays imbalance, which was also mentioned by Dondis. The photograph is shot in a triangular shape, which creates movement through stress. The diagonal continuous lines as well as the direction of the car show the implied movement.
