I’m not talking de-aging stuff. This is basic “lighting conditions don’t match between the two source photos”. Don’t make some poor Comper or intern try to fix your laziness. If you’re going to feature this photo, go shoot it!

The same angle repeats later in the sequence, again to clearly establish the geography and the relationships between the characters. This is how directors like Spielberg help the audience understand the action and never get spatially confused.

With this blocking, Spielberg quickly sets up the geography of the scene, the physical goals of the characters, and even allows for full-body physical comedy to happen within the frame. Other directors would shoot this scene as a wide+closeups, then intercut “to increase tension”.
