Applying Lacan

Visual -
Lack of fill


half of what he wants is there - there is a gap - The lack


Centre of the screen
No non-diegetic sound there is just diegetic sound of the phone ringing and the characters talking to each other.
He stutters quite a lot because he isn’t quite sure what he wants and when he is near getting it, he doesn’t know what to do.
He also paces around which shows his obsession, and whilst pacing around you see him hunched over. This clearly identifies that he clearly is pursuing something
Flat = empty and this represents him. He feels empty and lost because he wants his desires filled. (Get a quote from the theory)


Yellow tint which is quite dull but it fills up the entire scene. This connotes that he is dull, that he feels that his life is dull.
In the same scene the left half of the screen is blank and he fills the right side of the screen with himself. The colour palette is dulled down and consists of 3 colours; yellow, brown and a green colour.
Yellow = usually a happy colour yet is portrayed as the opposite
Brown = dirty, cloudy, muddy
Green = envy and sickness
This colour palette is a representation of the state of his mind.
Centre - trying to control the situation


Centre - controlling the conversation


Right - Not in control of the situation
