The camera framing and editing work together to show how uncomfortable and disconnected Ruben feels. The film uses shot/reverse shot editing to go back and forth between Ruben and Joe as they talk, which is a common technique in dialogue scenes. But in this case, the way each character is framed says a lot about their emotional state. Ruben’s shots often leave a lot of space around him, especially in the background and above his head, making him feel isolated and out of place. The camera sometimes films him from a lower angle, and his body language is tense, showing his frustration. In contrast, Joe is usually centered in the frame, lit more softly, and shown in more balanced shots. The back-and-forth editing keeps the conversation flowing, but the framing makes it clear that the two characters are in very different mindsets. These visual choices show that Ruben is not ready to accept his new reality yet, while Joe is steady, already comfortable in the world Ruben is just entering.
