    This is a nice night-time shot of 6 Private. This establishing shot sets the location for the next scene, when Number 6 is lying on his bed thinking, and still confused. But it’s the wrong establishing shot, because Number 6 doesn’t actually live there at the moment, as for the time being he lives at 12 private. So the establishing shot should have been of 12 Private with its plain yellow wall, plain blue door and signpost. Which I think you’ll agree, although correct, would not have been so aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Be seeing you
