The left character looks like it is casting a shadow (the right three strokes).

The sun (radical) is above a person wearing a hat (they have a head, two arms, and legs together). The sun casts a person’s shadow on the wall (right part of the character).

It’s like the shining city on the hill — the light (日) is emanating from the from the capital city (京), casting a SHADOW (the three strokes on the right) over other places

Like a latern emanating light, the three strokes act as the shadow enacted by the lantern.

The sun is blocked by a shadow barrier and can’t reach the person beneath. The lines on the right look like a shadow fading.

The three dots on the right look like your casting light from a flashlight creating a shadow.

This character is part of the word for movie. The sun would represent the light from the movie projector, and the character below it is someone sitting with their arms next to them. The three dashes represent the A/C in the movie theater.

You have the sun, then a person underneath, like they are casting a SHADOW to the right.

The three stocks next to the first part of the character can be seen as the shadow of the character, which allows us to make the connection with the meaning

It looks like an object with a shadow to its left, as if there was a light shining to the right of it. In the context of this lesson, it also looks like a vertical film camera (movie).
