In the video tutorial Every Frame A Painting, on Drive -The Quadrant System, I learned how narrative complexity is achieved through using the creative use of positioning characters in different quadrants. Here, for instance, attention is focused on Ryan Gosling in the upper top left quadrant but also on Carey Mulligan and her boyfriend whom he is gazing at, in the lower right hand quadrant. We are invited to visually compare the two men and see the long shadow one casts toward the other.
The two sides of the frame tell different stories, which enriches the filmwork.
In my own work, I intend to pay careful attention to composing the frame in the scene.....
(We also learned from F is For Fake today)
