Composition is really, I think, really important and something I really love and it really makes a difference to me in the movie

If there's been some sort of thought towards it

Yeah, well absolutely but it's such a complex subject, isn't it?

Because how do you divorce composition from content, from a script, from lighting, from...

True, but... from lighting from hmm true but then okay so look at a movie like loveless loveless

was the framing was so thought out on that and I thought gave so much to you in telling the story just visually without dialogue.

And of course there's that wonderful scene when you pull back in the

bathroom I think it is and see the kid in agony. Behind the door yeah which is

yeah it's amazing shot then that's the thing. Are you talking about composition and shot construction or just composition?

Because if it was just talking about composition, I'd probably remember the later shot in the film where you see all

the kids playing in the park in the snow out the window and that's a very striking composition because you're inside the room looking at the world outside which is going on as it was before this boy disappeared and the people's lives changed.

Well, in a way, okay, so you have composition and still photography and painting and things like that,

but still when you're shooting a movie you're choosing where you

put the camera you're choosing as you said this morning when we were talking about

it whether their back is to camera whether their front is to camera, whether their front is to camera.

And those all are essential for telling the story.

Yeah, it's interesting.
