The result was engaging ? it felt as if both the Queen and Raleigh were caged in, restricted and unable to get close to each other, even if they wanted to.<br \/>\nWhat was also great about shooting through the bed-head was that the audience caught only flickers of the Queen?s and Raleigh?s face in the beginning of the scene. As the scene progressed however the audience could see more and more of the pair as the camera tracked across and away from the bed-head. This ?reveal? was very compelling.
