did everyone see the mr robot finale last night?

this article provides some great insight into why it looks the way it does. por ejemplo:

Fitting for a show about those occupying society’s technological substrata, Mr. Robot’s characters are often placed at the very bottom of the frame. This leaves massive amounts of headroom that suggests a great weight hanging over their heads, and echoes their isolation: When they’re talking right to each other, they seem alone. In more conventional filmmaking, conversations are cut with the characters looking at each other from opposite ends of the frame, leaving what’s known as “leading room” between their faces that helps convey the physical space they occupy. Mr. Robot inverses the norm by “shortsighting” the characters, positioning their faces at the edge of the frame closest toward the person to whom they're speaking.

“Shortsighting is unnerving,” Campbell explains. “It further accentuates how fucked-up Elliot’s world is. The idea was to convey the loneliness. That's the internal dialogue I had with myself: How do we tell that story? How do you get Elliot across?”

The effect goes a long way in selling audiences on the mounting paranoia and dissociation of the show’s main character, hacker Elliot Alderson (Malek). Without the usual pattern to help us intuit spatial relationships, these scenes create the sense that the characters don’t know where they stand in relation to one another.

Big congrats to @GertShap @ConstanceZimmer @MrCraigBierko and the gang for creating a delicious new show! I'm totally hooked and love it.

vulture's new tv podcast

tv is my favorite.

how interesting.

here's a little insight into how house of cards is shot.

Almost every single frame of this show is composed to place a pale blue object in the foreground with a pale yellow light in the background. Now, sometimes the foreground object is more black than blue, sometimes the background veers toward a sickly green, sometimes they're outside and the background is necessarily blue or black sky, but once you begin noticing this particular habit of the House of Cards color pallete, it is hard to unsee. (via)

here's a podcast interview with the show's cinematographer.

on a related note, here's a list of ten films matthew weiner made required viewing for the cast & crew of mad men. jicydak, there's a big mad men exhibition opening march 14 at the museum of the moving image (shoutout flim).
