Act natural
Be interesting
Don’t overthink
The night inside a box
The actors vignetted, the camera zooms in on her every time that she talks
depth of field shrinks
With each additional drink
So cinematic
The sets look fantastic
The script is dramatic
anticlimactic
Now the second act
A shot reverse shot shows two characters talking
The second one is trapped
framed in profile
She wears a forced smile
So stylistic
This shot’s so artistic
The script is realistic
so pessimistic
