How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days

This clip is a scene from How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days. The scene was about the couple fighting because they just found out about each others bets. They were singing to each other by changing the words and insulting each other. For the most part, the two characters were in the middle of the screen. However, while there was a shot of the female's boss, you can see the owner of the diamonds (whose party it was) in the background...which was a good use of negative space. It directed my eye from focusing in on the boss. Also, the owner of the diamonds had bright hair, which directed my eye further to her.. while still hearing what the boss was saying, even though I wasn't looking at her. There was another part of the clip I found interesting with positive and negative space. While the girl in the yellow dress was leaving, there was a shot of her walking away into the negative space, but then the next shot was of her from behind..so it was like a continuation. There were also parts where the couple was singing on the left hand side of the screen, while the man was playing piano on the right. This was good use of balance.
