Ash Wednesday Flashback - 2
This is one of those pages where I was going to delete more of the frames - until I scrolled down the page and watched the shot play out. Caps 1-28 are all from one continuous shot. It's a little uneven, in a way that fits the scene, but it's not haphazard. In the first few frames, the asymmetrical eyes play into it, which I can't help but think was done very much on purpose by the cinematographer. By cap #6, we've moved into a view that crops Elijah's face immediately above the eyes and immediately below the mouth. It's very stark, without eyebrows, forehead or chin to soften the expression. Elijah often uses very slightly parted lips to show innocence and vulnerability, but that's not how it comes across here, at least to me. Compare the two pictures in the left border of this page, for example.
