(Casey, 2015) Known for its fast paced shots and uncompromised action, in the scene ‘He looked at me’, George Miller wants to ensure that the audience does not get disorientated by the continuous action.

(Lacey, 1998) Miller keeps all the focal points in centre frame; gas pedal, steering wheel and the exchange of eye contact between Immortan Joe and Nux. By keeping the focus in the centre frame it ensures a smoother following of the narrative, allowing the viewer to become immersed in the action without having to compromise the fast paced shots.
