This lack of ceilings
[in television] limits the shots that may be
done with the camera down low, looking upward at the characters;
such an angle might reveal the tops of the sets and the lights.
It also means that ceilings cannot be used within the frame
to enclose the characters, creating a slightly claustrophobic
sensation—as was popular in 1940s films following the lead
of Citizen Kane (1941; fig.
5.1).
