I can position the camera anywhere that I want, so it'd be possible to have all the characters in the shot at the same time. Because of the 'slots' they're standing on, though, it'd mean they'd either be side-on or over-the-shoulder shots, which I felt were worse than this. How to frame characters is an interesting problem, though, which different films etc solve in different ways; it doesn't seem to be uncommon to only show one character at a time and alternate between them. Perhaps I could experiment with some alternatives if this doesn't look right.

EDIT: Looking into this a bit more, it's apparently called a shot reverse shot, when alternating shots show characters looking at other offscreen characters and the viewer has to make the connection between them. I'm definitely an amateur when it comes to all this though and it might be worth looking into it; there are techniques like matching the eyeline which seem to help, but which I didn't do. I also wonder whether having an establishing shot of the whole group would help or not.

Cinematography basically a discipline in itself though, so we shouldn't set our expectations too high for what I'll be able to achieve!

Oh, also, I did have some vague intentions with how the characters are framed, though: Savitr's shot from a lower position as if looking up at him, like he's this holy figure, while Collie's lurking in the background, smaller. Pierce is looked down on, suggesting more of a pest than a threat.
