SPN 8x10: Dissecting Visual Drama

Jan 19, 2013 12:18

I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed how awesome the Sam-and-Dean-stalk-around-the-warehouse scene was. It was visually the most memorable of the episode not only because it was Sam and Dean and their badass selves stalking around a warehouse but also because it was *dramatic* looking. But what does dramatic mean exactly? How do you define ( Read more... )

Dude, this is kinda sorta, like, TOTALLY AWESOME. \o/ I mean, the scene looked great in all kinds of ways and had interesting shots and lurker-stalker!boys, WOOO. \o/ But your neatly organized list with its spiffy examples is seriously cool!!

And how do you make a scene look dramatic using camera, lights, and actors with rubber knives tiptoeing around?

You make the rubber knives look extra shiny. Duh. ;) And this might be the reason why I'm looking at that list like there'll be a quiz on it later.

We need more of this. *nods* And, yes, \o/\o/\o/!

You make the rubber knives look extra shiny.

And the rubber extra pointy. ;)

Heh. It does look rather academic, doesn't it. Oops. I cannot help how my brain likes to organize things in semi-scary, textbook-looking lists. O_o

Oh, and there will be a quiz. Next Wednesday. It's closed book with no notes, and there are no make-ups unless you have a signed doctor's note.

But I liked that it was in a neat list!! It was easy to understand and read. Uhm, maybe this says more about me than about the meta itself...

I'd almost be happy if there was a quiz abut this. Seriously. It's cool stuff. \o/

Fascinating peek into the cinematography, thanks!

I'm such a film nerd so this was so fun to read/look at! Beautiful screencaps. And your writing is also great. May I add you as a friend? (I found you via heavy_meta.)

Hi,

Welcome to the unabashed nerdiness that somehow ends up being SPN meta here. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it; I had fun writing it. Feel free to friend me. I don't bite!
