Separated from the 5.01 reaction post because that was long enough already.

( Small bit of visual framing meta for a shot from 5.01 )

You make a very convincing argument. And I don't think *anything* is random on Show (at least not in seasons 4 and now 5.)

Oh Boys.

There is some interesting cinematography going on in this show, and this was such a quick little thing, just one bit of that scene, that it can't be accidental. :-)

I knew there was a reason I took Film Studies! XD

How do you even notice all that stuff? Either you have way too much time (which I happen to know is wrong) or I'm really blind - *doh*

I again have to agree to all written above. Although I fail to spot the jacket-is-darker-than-its-shadowy-side-should-be thing.

I took a couple Film Studies courses in college and every so often this show uses shot composition and framing techniques that influence the implications of a scene.

Although I fail to spot the jacket-is-darker-than-its-shadowy-side-should-be thing.

It's not that the jacket is darker than it should be, it's just that it's darker because it's in shadow. The tone of the mirror image is a little green-yellow, but not much. It's always interesing in film when there are two representations of the same person on the screen and one is brighter or darker than the other. It's like chiaroscuro. Hmm... I think I'm going to add something about Chiaroscuro above.

*ack*
You make my brain hurt. How am I supposed to let all those bunnys out that keep spawning in my head. Separated by walls, internal conflict,... *argl*
*is off writing*

Oh yes! My sister rynnalyn pointed this out to me too. They did so much with mirrors last season, I love that they carried it over to this season as well.

Also, see? Sam is framed by the mirror, and also by the doorframe! I just noticed that, and added a couple things to the post.

This season is going to hurt.
