Framing (VPRODUC-related post)

A scene from Citizen Kane and from Hung's second season premiere. Both utilized framing but in different ways. In Citizen Kane, the kid is put in a window frame to emphasize that he is the subject of the adult's conversation. In Hung, the new husband of Anne Heche is also framed in a window, but this time the purpose is for irony. Anne Heche's character talks about how she always gets the man, but what she has now is a man she doesn't really love and who can't even maintain their garden.

It's amazing how Citizen Kane's innovations in cinematography is still being applied today. Galing! I really must watch this. Best American film daw. We'll see. :))
