Antonioni uses the actors to establish a lingering fascination with their movement, especially of Vanessa Redgrave’s, who’s poise and form fascinates the photographer. The framing often presents her as if in a picture, framing her presence within wooden brackets or behind stained glass. Not being overly familiar with the film, I’m only making assumptions, but I’d say that she is presented as if she is an art piece being observed by the photographer. Occasionally, parts of the set obscure his character, meaning that the focus of the scene is clearly on the woman.

It zoomed, I don’t know why it zoomed but it zoomed and it looked good. I am most impressed. Perhaps this action highlights the idea of the woman being captured by a camera, rather than being seen through someone’s eyes. Not sure.

I like how antsy the woman is, and how relaxed the man is. It makes it more jarring when he leaps across the room to answer the phone, but I think that just showed how he was in complete control of the situation, he chooses when it becomes more frenetic, not the pacing woman.
