Framing the Experience
This video featuring a number of directors talking about the difference between viewing films in widescreen vs. pan & scan (TV) struck me as very insightful. The framing of an experience–in this case, a movie–is a very thought out set of decisions made by the director and cinematographer. In the same way, framing what to show and what not to show, what their audience will experience, often falls on the shoulders of the person who is designing and crafting the experience. (via Kottke)
