Woody Allens underbara inramning i alla säger att jag älskar dig

Som förklarad i Jason Bailey bok The Ultimate Woody Allen Film Companion Allen utvecklade sin visuella stil gradvis och etablerade de flesta av hans "individuella imprints" under slutet av 70-talet och 80-talet. Denna inramningsstil verkar vara en liten variation av en bild av hans Annie Hall filmfotograf Gordon Willis :

Woody developed another of his “individual imprints” in Annie Hall—the surprisingly radical idea of a frame that actors move in and out of freely, rather than one that captures their every move. It occurred accidentally; while shooting one of the Alvy/Annie dialogue scenes, Allen went to Willis with a concern. “I said to Gordie, ‘Hey, if we shoot Keaton this way, I’m going to be offstage when I do my joke,’” he recalled. “And he said, ‘That’s okay, they can hear you.’” It was a simple realization for Woody, but revolutionary. (“In every movie there’s at least one scene where nobody’s on and there’s just talking,” he’s said. “I throw one in always in honor of Gordon.”)
