It's a Bank Holiday weekend here, meaning that Monday is a public holiday. As is so often the case it also means that the weather will be somewhat mixed!
I was watching a bit of telly this morning and whatever was on was a whole series of rapidly changing images of the same person being shot from different angles as he described something. Jeez, it was irritating!
So much of what is on the box these days involves this kind of thing with no one shot staying the same for more than a second or two. Music videos, I have noticed, are a notable example of this.
It seems that there is a perception that people cannot or do not wish to concentrate on something for any length of time.
So, my dear peevers, I guess that you can see where this is going!
I don't watch TV. The only time mine ever gets turned on is if I want to listen to music while cleaning or if I'm going to play the original xbox - Both of which are rare for me.
The new "artsy" generation of film makers seems to think this is The Thing. They miss that it makes them look amateurish and gives the impression that they don't have a clue about video editing. As soon as I see anything like this the channel is changed. My vote is NO.
BTW, starting this December the fun folks who control the loudness of our commercials will no longer be able to crank up the volume. It's about time. Now if we could just limit the political commercials to the last two weeks before an election...

Yep...Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) rules will soon require commercials to have the same average volume as the programs they accompany. In the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, Congress directed the FCC to establish these rules, and they will go into effect on December 13, 2012.
