Phonebooth

In class we watched the opening sequence of Phonebooth.
One of the techniques that we as a group enjoyed was when whoever was on the other line of the phone suddenly appeared at the bottom right or left hand side of the screen. This was useful to the audience as it showed their reactions due to what the main character said. When Kiefer Sutherland set up the three way conversation between Stew, himself and Stew's secret girlfriend, the shot of Stew then closes in on him, making more and more of the screen being filled up with just black, this adds emphasis to the tension between Stew and the secret girlfriend.
