ANALYSIS/REFLECTION 5, QUESTION 3

One of the things that struck me about this scene was the precise cinematography and framing that would have been meticulously planned out, used when the actors were moving, both separately, through the often confined spaces of the art room.  Both actors almost always managed to stay in the frame, even though a clear sight to them was often obstructed by walls, artwork, or the low-hanging rafters.  This was one thing I found incredibly hard to manage while on our shoot, even though the movements and mise-en-scene was much more simplistic and straight-forward.  It was hard trying to keep both the actors and camera-operator on the same page, and shots with much movement within the frame required many takes, often still not quite as perfect as I would have liked.
