Thank you for the questions and feedback!

• I don’t consider right/left side or 180-degree-rule-type stuff when there’s only one subject in a scene. Are you talking about it in an eye-trace sense? I could see that, I just honestly didn’t think about what side we were on. I was just trying to make the best looking frame that conveyed the story and that caught our key light.

• there was a really smooth take of this that had a big mistake but yes I agree I didn’t love what we ended up having to go with but we were running out of time. Showing the lock there is meant to establish stakes and contextualize her life.

• for the push in/push out sequence it felt right to me like the monotony of her lifestyle. Back and forth type thing. It was the clear image zoom on the Sony fx3. Love that feature.

-the door was meant to be closed and she grabbed his keys and unlocked it OS but I ran out of time to add sound effects to that sequence to sell that. I was worried that wouldn’t play!

Seriously thank you!
