Printing for portraiture eventually moved to carte de visite, introduced by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1854.

Hank’s last walk starts as a far shot and he steadily approaches the camera; however, the diegetic sound is already articulating the context of the conversation/scene to follow (Hank resigning from his job). Similarly, Leticia’s walk down the hospital hallway begins as a far shot and she then approaches the camera. Though the news to follow is not verbally pre-articulated, the scene superimposes the image of her deceased son over her…

Verisimilitude is the semblance of reality in dramatic or the quality of seeming real. The relationship of verisimilitude to the photograph is really important. Photos taken by a photographer does not always have to be authentic. They are so many photos that are not accurate most of the time. They might have some missing points in a photo while taking it.
