Dead Poets Society

Scene where Knox Overstreet is on the telephone to Kris.

Knox Overstreet played a fair part in the film Dead Poets Society. One particular scene that Knox was in was the phone conversation with the girl he loves, Kris.

The scene starts with Knox at the telephone. The camera closes in on his face and his fingers dialling the telephone. The camera stays on his face as the phone rings and awaits a pick up. When Kris picks up the phone, Konx's facial expression changes from one of ambition to one of much nervousness. The camera swings to show Knox's hand as he promptly hangs up the phone. Next, the camera swings around from Knox to his friends. This medium close-up shows the disappointment on all their faces and that expression makes Knox ring once more.

This time, the camera angles are the same and Knox goes through with the phone call all the way.

While he is talking, the camera is focused on his face and hand holding the phone to his ear. When Knox hears the news that he has been invited to go to a party with the girl of his dreams, his face lights up and he cant help but smile. Still with the same angle, the camera swings around to show the faces of his friends as he tells them his news. Their facial expressions as showed by the camera are delightful and happy ones. This makes Knox even more happy.

The scene ends with a close up of Knox hanging up the phone and then a high level shot of him running up the stairs.
