The first point is Dominant: the thing you first see when you look at the frame is the Lady talking to the Doctor. The Second is the Lighting key is High Key lighting. The third point is the shot and camera proxemics is medium close range shot. The fourth point is the angle is eye level. The fifth point is color values:The dominant color is white. There is also a lot black in the scene. The sixth point is lens/filter/stock: they can make the frame look like it is close or far away.The seventh point is subsidiary contrast is the main eye stoppers the lady laying on the piles of fruit. Density is the eighth point and this frame has high density it is packed with stuff going on and it is highly detailed. Composition is talking about two dimensional area and it is organized well. The tenth thing is form and it is using closed form because off screen information is important. Framing is the eleventh and there is some room to move but it is tight. The depth is the 12th point is depth and this image is composed on multiple planes. The character placement is more towards the center because that is where the action is at this point. The characters are looking at each other and not really the audience and that is the 14th point. The 15th point character proxemics is the space between and there is not much space between characters but there is a little. Some films are photographed in the Widescreen aspect ratio and cropped down because the majority of the audience that the film was directed towards people who have the 4:3 ratio televisions or they want to make something that was onscreen only have sounds on the screen not the image. If you shoot in widescreen 16:9 and crop down to 4:3 you lose everything that is on the left part and right a few inches to make it he 4:3 ratio. It common practice because older television do not have 16:9 capabilities.
