The use of framing was something we considered while constructing the style of our opening. We ended up deciding to try and be neutral throughout most of the opening- by this we meant show as much as possible of each character while staying relatively close, so that the focus is on their shared conversation. However, we wanted to be impactful at certain times, for example when something big in terms of plot or emotion, or both, happened. A good example of this would be when the detective reveals that Peter Smith is dead, and not simply missing, eliciting a shocked reaction from all the interviewees. This use of framing contributed to style, as it allowed us to keep the conversational style we were aiming for while also adhering to the style of the mystery genre.
