We talk about shot design - because shot design isn’t just how it looks and feels, it’s how it works. || Produced by @stuwillis & @mehlsbells and @draft_zeroshot-zero.com Melbourne / NaarmJoined July 2022
Today we look at the colour theory of #TokyoPop, and how it depicts character journeys as they meet, fall in love, and have to decide what to do about their respective futures.

Speaking of perfect frames!
This shot from #Dickinson 2.01 "Before I got my eye put out" doesn’t just position Sue (Ella Hunt) within a gilded mirror frame-within-a-frame, it reflects two candles to make four, and lines up those candle’s flames to draw our eyes to Sue’s eyes.
If you missed our post about Malcolm X’s strong use of color theory, you can catch up to it now on the Substack.
But sometimes you just want to appreciate a beautiful, perfect shot of Delroy Lindo and a smoke ring.
We've got a lot of Spike Lee coming up -
subscribe or follow on the social channel of your choice to see how Lee uses shots to pass time, uses blocking to create a Catholic confessional in a suburban street, or paints the colours of the American flag as commentary.
Shamelessly re-plugging this episode on how ADOLESCENCE maintains tension despite not cutting following its many deserved Emmy wins:
