CHARACTERS
Graysmith:
- Detached/Outsider
- Motivated
- Curious
- Brave
 |
| He peers in from the outside detached from coworkers |
 |
| And again |
 |
| Graysmith is wearing different clothing and colours. He also has no seat. |
 |
| And again |
Toschi:
- Hardworking
- Important
- Stylish
- Lawful
 |
| He is in the centre of the shot |
 |
| Even talking to Graysmith, he is centred. |
 |
| Important man |
CONFRONTATION
In the confrontation between the two in near the end, Toschi is shown to be organised, calm and also exerts his lawful persona.
Graysmith, on the other hand, is messy and expressive. His notes are scattered and his side of the room has a more cluttered and busy atmosphere.
