Framing in L.A. Confidential and Double Indemnity

This still from L.A. Confidential makes use of the rule of thirds by putting Bud White in the left third and Ed Exley in the right third. This establishes a power dynamic between the two men by making them the focal points of the picture. They're also looking straight at each other, so when you look at one you immediately look at the other, ignoring the other officer in the lazy frame in the center. Officer White is just a little bit taller, so he looks more powerful than Exley.

This shot from Double Indemnity is similar to the previous one in that the subjects are three men, but the eye naturally focuses on Neff and Keyes, ignoring the man in the center. Despite the fact that Neff is taller, Keyes appears to be in the more powerful role because he is relaxed and open while Neff is trying to make himself appear smaller by crossing his arms and covering his mouth.
