Every frame makes a choice.

The crew’s scene library is a place to practise visual storytelling. Look at the frame, write a caption and say what the image cannot prove.

Malik, Gia and Lupa compare a close-up of a bench with the wider courtyard view.

Same picture? Look again.

Malik’s close-up and Gia’s wider view show the same bench. Only one includes the doorway. A crop can be accurate and still leave you with an incomplete idea.

Try it with the case scenes below. Describe what you see before explaining what it means.

Before a photo becomes a claim.

Ask who made it, when, what is outside the frame and how the caption changes its meaning. A character scene helps us investigate the fictional story. It cannot establish a fact about a real event.
