Storytelling Poses

I thought it would be useful if I spent some time dissecting a scene from one of my favorite movies (Ratatouille) by determining which poses in each shot were the "storytelling poses" Each one of the images above were selected because I felt the posing in each most clearly communicated the important idea of each characters actions and reactions to one and other throughout the scene. These aren't necessarily the most extreme poses rather they are the poses that encapsulate a feeling or expression. Although the scene is devoid of any sound that would telegraph the significance of the interactions between the characters, we are still able to clearly understand what the emotional response is to their unexpected encounter.
