Princesses - question

How far does the impact of the film you have studied for this topic depend on distinctive uses of film techniques?

In the scene where Caye is on a date, we can see conflict rising from the framing. the shot is framed with Caye on the right side of the screen and her date on the left. However in the middle of them in the background and out of focus is a man who is familiar with Caye and her work. This is a visual example of how relationships in urban stories always fail because something always comes in between them. Caye is clearly distressed by this as she does not want her date to be interrupted by her 'second identity' getting in the way. Caye's life is often related to a tightrope walker because she is constantly balancing between two lives. This is shown in this scene by the constant ringing of her phone, this represents the constant disruption of her normal life by her work life.
