There is no such thing as "uncinematic" composition, is the point. It's a completely absurd claim.

QuoteI can throw all the technical jargon in the world your way and it's not going to convince you of seeing something that you can't see, nor would I care to.
I'm a film editor by trade, I would love to hear your technical assessment, actually.

There's no difference between the presentation of a cinematic movie and, say, a day time soap opera?  Um, okay then.

Why is that relevant?

Yes, it's a genuine question.

You keep saying "composition" and I'm increasingly unconvinced that the word means what you think it means.

There's nothing wrong with the composition of your typical soap opera, their cinematography is better composed than many cinema releases films.

Okay but the fact remains that I and others thought that the footage very much looked like a straight-to-streaming film.  There's a reason for that, regardless of the technical jargon employed to explain it.

Then why use technical jargon you don't understand? Just call it a feeling.

Fine; it's a feeling.  Does that make you happy now (despite the fact I actually do fully understand what cinematography is and the terminology was correct for what I was describing)?  Does that satisfy the Grand Poobah?

Quote from: St_Eddie on May 19, 2022, 09:48:09 PMI don't think anyone is making sweeping claims about the movie as a whole, nor have they claimed to be.
I have absolutely seen people doing that.

And given that you don't really seem to have explained why you think this film looks cheap and unprofessional - I've definitely seen films, on TV or otherwise, where I get the impression the cameraman doesn't know how to set up an aesthetically pleasing shot to save his life.

I absolutely don't get that feeling from anything in this tester trailer. I'd love to know where you did. (And I'm not being patronising; I really would love to know what you're seeing that I'm not.)

The last couple pages of this thread have taken a year off my life, I'm sure of it.

Hey everybody! I am a little bit late, but does anybody have information about when the Full Trailer will be released?

It's the cinematography, which lacks depth in my opinion.  It looks kinda flat.  That and the muted colours and possibly the fact that it looks to be shot on digital.  It lacks the texture which I commonly associate with the theatrical Predator movies.  It very much looks like a straight-to-streaming film (which it is) to my eyes, at least going by this brief snippet of footage.

I've never associated digital filming with DTV movies myself, but maybe that's just because I'm such a fan of Michael Mann.

Similarly Band of Brothers intentionally used a very muted colour palette to evoke a sense of time and place, and that show looked anything but cheap. Maybe they're just doing something similar here.
