Frame 1 - The father, Bose watches
his friend and his friend's daughter as they compete in a
playful arm wresting match. The camera positions Bose at the
center of the frame and we see him smiling.
Frame 2 - The next shot we see
that Sharmila is looking towards the action of frame 1 from
a distance. Suddenly we realize that the preceding shot could
be interpreted from multiple points of view; Bose watching
the pair arm wresting, and Sharmila looking on at the whole
scene from afar.
Frame 3 - The next shot is a reaction
close-up of Sharmila as she timidly continues to watch.
Frame 4 - The camera moves to a
close-up of Bose as he looks up from the arm wrestlers and
realizes that Sharmila is watching. He stares at her.
Frame 5 - Framed in the same composition
as frame 3 the reaction shot now also becomes the point of
view shot for the close up of Bose. Sharmila then realizes
that Bose sees her watching and she lowers her eyes.
The way these few shots are constructed
and edited together is very complicated and conveys many levels
of emotion and character development. It's a beautifully textured
sequence that illustrates the emotional complexity and inner
turmoil of the characters.
