Tony Zhou is back with a unexampled installment of Every Frame A Painting , this time looking at how director can utilise ensemble staging to their advantage when it comes to get the news report in a scene .
He contrasts this with some of the current trends in directing , which often requires oodles of cuts and closeup . This is something that he ’s pointed out before in early TV , and it ’s great to see him take a closer look into this .
Here ’s his inclination of ways to get the audience to look at something in the underframe :

Let Them Speak
Make Them Brighter or Bring Them Closer
Let Them Move ( particularly Hands or eye )

Put Them in the Center of Frame
sprain Them Towards the Lens
Separate Them from the Group

insulate Them by affect the Camera
Have Other People see at Them
