Deep Focus

Deep Focus is used to make the audience not just focus on the actors but the whole frame, for instance in this scene Kubrick uses deep focus to show the audience not just the world leaders but also the countries they lead that are displayed behind them

Symmetrical Composition

Symmetrical Composition creates an unnerving presence and creates sinister undertones which is the exact effect Kubrick wants. In this scene the twins at the end of the hallway have a very eerie and unnatural aura because symmetry is unnatural which Kubrick uses here
