One of the things that has bugged me about the film for a long time is how Zapruder supposedly managed to keep the car in the middle of the shot whilst moving towards him (albeit slowly) and did a pretty good job of panning as it accelerated away rapidly, yet for the duration of the shots, JFK's head is only just in the bottom of the frame. My suspicion is that the reflections off the side of the car would have exposed the problems with timing, and so had to be moved out of the frame. What you could call "normal framing" is resumed by frame 334, approximately a second after the head shot.
Is it me, or should Altgens appear in reflection on the trunk of the limo? Brehm, Hill & Moorman do, and there's also something of the guy to the left of Altgens (i.e. to Altgens right). I think I see Toni Foster reflected too?
The cluster of people in frame 368/369 don't appear either, but there *might* be an explanation for that.
