So he had an idea and gave his cinematographer John Seale marching orders: when filming material that’s going to be cut quickly, keep the most important information in the center of the frame, so that the shot doesn’t cut before your eyes can find the subject. pic.twitter.com/RcYn4PD3if— Will Ross (@SadHillWill) September 29, 2022

that villeneuve post really revealed the dividing line between those on here who consider cinema to be a visual medium capable of creating ecstatic experience and those who merely think of cinema as a shabby extension of theatre and literature.— coмrade_yυι (@Comrade_Yui) February 27, 2024

Text from image: "The filmmakers deviated from the standard practice of placing the horizon at the lower third of the frame when shooting on Imax. Instead, they framed the horizon through the center to align with the natural scanning of the viewer's eye and maximize the impact of peripheral vision in 70mm Imax. This approach aimed to create a more functional image where essential information is presented centrally, while the peripheral vision contributes to the overall atmosphere and immersion. The goal was to engage the audience directly and intuitively, fostering a deeper connection compared to an intellectual exchange."

The sniffy reviews of Wes Anderson's films—even raves are often filled with despites, nonethelesses, and this-one-is-differents—reminds me of the numbing hegemony of dramatic realism and character psychology, from which Godard, too, endured brickbats and yes-buts all career long.— Richard Brody (@tnyfrontrow) June 25, 2023

I hate how in the new trend of "oners," they often call attention(!) to themselves, and you instantly know the action will follow a video-gamey and predetermined path. they're not thrillingly invisible or feats of great filmmaking. They just kind of ...happen, but in an empty way— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) April 28, 2023

Sometimes when I don't know how to approach a scene, I think of the absolute worst thing I could write — the worst bit of dialogue, the worst thing a character could do next — and it often cracks me up. Then I think, well, anything is better than that, and suddenly it's easier.— Anna Klassen (@AnnaJKlassen) October 4, 2022

I worked on this project and I was 1 of 2 Black people on the crew and they kept calling me her name. We both had braids, she was dark skin and 5’10. I’m 5’5. Working on this took everything I had as I was treated horribly. I look at the Black female lead differently now too. https://t.co/3vezWpreNT— Kim Alsup (@CreativeK) September 18, 2022
