Visual Style
The video explains why Wes Anderson's visual style is so recognizable and unique. Anderson explains how he wants his sets to look 2 dimensional or flat because Anderson said that he always wanted to work in the theater. Additionally, Anderson draws similarities with theater by his use of long takes (usually tracking shots) where actors have to perform for a longer of period of time; Anderson likes this method as he feel it gets the best out of his actors as they are challenged by the difficulty of performing for extended periods of time without cuts; Anderson said that he '"likes to see the actors play the scene through".
Wes Anderson typically has the main focus of the scene in the exact middle of the frame, this is another unique method that Anderson uses; usually, the main focus is placed slightly to the left or right of the middle as to match the viewers eye line, but Anderson places the focus in the middle so that the viewer has to concentrate on the middle.
