- Positioning within a frame can draw our attention to an important character/object.
- A film-maker can use positioning to indicate relationships between people.
1st image: Man and a woman on either end of sofa. There is obvious tension between them shown from their body language. The positioning of objects is very symmetrical, emphasising the distance between them on the sofa. The woman has her arms crossed which is a defence mechanism whilst the man looks slightly more relaxed and his eyes are looking towards the woman whilst his head is still facing straight ahead. Neither of them look happy, and the scene looks tense. However, there is a comic element in the shot.
2nd image: A man in the foreground is deeply in focus, showing all the contours and lines on his face, scars also. In the background not in focus, is a woman with a lasso, who we assume is drawing him in although he isn't looking at her.
