Specific visual language the film is developing: use of cinematic frame, use of other frames within mis-en-scene. Windows, doorways, lines and boarders, frame within the frame: framing create relationships. Placement of people and object within the frame. Relationship to people outside of the frame and what they are leaving out: *image 1. Like we are part of the scene, framed with inside and outside. Certain angle like we are sitting on a table viewing them; intimate framing: *image 2. Sal is looking outside, in the same perspective. Smaller space framing of the korean couple inside the grocery store. Camera distance and shot scale: distance from camera to the human subject, close up, medium shot, long shot. And various shots in between: often helps to convey meaning.
