Keaton’s framing techniques were clear enough to tell the story, particularly when

Generally speaking, the consecutive shifting of viewing between the big screen and the small window produces a contrast between people on screen and the two characters inside window.

Oddly enough, as Jesus walks in awe to his desk one item remains to be whole, clocks. The clocks surrounding him appear to be frozen some of the hands are pointed at 9:00 while others are set too far back to truly identify. In this scene the mise en scene parallels to Jesus physical state. After using the Cronos for the first time Jesus looks and feels reinvigorated, he shaves his mustache and begins to walk straighter. What Guillermo del Toro is attempting to depict in this scene is Jesus own mortal clock being extended rather than before where old age was a constant reminder to him. Having frozen clocks in the
