I wanted to blog about a particular scene, but I couldn’t find a screen-cap for it to help illustrate what I’m talking about (and refresh my memory). But, I’m going to attempt to talk about it anyway. Throughout the film viewing, I was thinking about character height (often merely placing them more forward in the frame) as an indicator of dominance. In the first half of the film Paul is often placed more forward in the frame, indicating his control of the situation and the hold he has over Ned/Ed. As the film continues, Paul is placed farther back in the frame and Ned/Ed is given prominence. This power switch is especially seen when Farr brings in Paul for questioning and Ed goes to visit him. Paul is lying on a cot while Ed stands above him looking down on him. In addition (and this is where a screen cap would be helpful), Paul is in less light and Ed is backlit and in contrast to the sun coming in the window behind him, giving him more prominence in the scene. The bars of the window create a cross-hatch patter over Paul, visually representing the predicament he is caught in.
