Some of you were probably conceived on a bus much like that one. Bus fare was only 50c.

Maybe the phone is smart enough to understand the Director’s Intent? Ever consider that perhaps portrait video was the best way of incorporating the mise en-scene? Ever consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Landscape was considered and DISMISSED as trite? Well did you? DID YOU, PUNK?

NO. You did not. You’re just a slave to the 16:9 convention, and part of the whole problem with cinematography today.

Good Day Sir. I said. GOOD DAY!.

Will it explode, or just experience a bout of sustained hatchet wanging*?


* sound hatchet makes as it resounds from a metallic surface. Unless it gets embedded in the aluminum, in which case it is more of a “scrthunk”.

Because we live in a digital future where shapes are not limited to the antique space of the theatrical stage?

Yes, that long stretch of asphalt really gave the scene a deeper meaning.

I mean, it’s not like the Director had to go back and forth with the camera because of an ill choice of allocating his available field of view :grin:
