The shot keeps the boss framed in the center as each family member basically squeezes into frame to slowly surround her. They&#8217;re close, and they&#8217;re sticking together. This technique foreshadows whats to come. The Kim&#8217;s are also all present in a few basement shots. Meanwhile, the Park family is often framed separately \u2014 not together and not unified.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is genius in its simplicity.As a viewer, you might not even realize what&#8217;s happening in the carefully framed shots, but you feel it.
