In 12 Angry Men (1957), director Sidney Lumet employed a brilliant cinematic technique to intensify the film’s tension. As the jury deliberates in a confined room, Lumet progressively used tighter camera angles and a lower depth of field. This visual constriction mirrored the increasing pressure on the characters, making the viewers feel just as confined and tense as the jurors themselves. The deliberate use of space and camera movement made the film a masterclass in visual storytelling. #12AngryMen #SidneyLumet #CinematicTechniques
