The Inbetweeners Series 2

This is an image from series 2 of the Inbetweeners. In this post i'm going to talk about focus and positioning.

The first thing about this shot is that it's a classic over the shoulder shot, allowing us to either see the reaction of somebody or to see what they have to say. In this case it's to see what he has to say. Another key factor to point out is that the main character is pretty much central screen, giving them the focus of the audience. Talking about focus, the focus on him is enhanced with everything else been out of focus. I think this is important for any television programme as not only does it narrow the focus on what you want but also makes it look more professional and organised.

From this shot i've learnt how important positioning and focus on telling the story the way you want it.
