Article Comment – This Is the Shot Sequence J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg Both Use

Glad to see that people are finally catching on to this concept. If you want to see more, check out Spielberg's MUNICH. He was basically the master of multiple-point reframing in the early '00s. Before then, there are some insane examples of this in early 90s television, specifically STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE.

Article Comment – How We Made an Indie Low-Budget Film Look Like 65MM

I never claimed it was automatically correct. Filmmaking is subjective and the choices made throughout the process reflect the sensibilities of the individuals making it. Viewership is subjective as well, and personally thinking that it's incorrect does not mean it is *objectively* incorrect. That said, I see where you are coming from. Thank you for the feedback.

For a wide shot, there's a noticeable difference between using a 35mm lens on the GFX100 vs. an 18mm lens on a S35 camera, even though they have a similar angle of view relative to their sensors. I personally like using longer lenses for wide shots, which is only possible on larger sensors. It creates a more dynamic image, in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing the article. I'll check it out!

The claustrophobia was intentional, especially during the opening scene where the priest questions her. The goal was to make the viewer feel how uncomfortable and "on the spot" she was.

The GFX100 has a DSLR form factor.

Shallow focus was not the priority. The ability to use longer lenses to achieve a wider field of a view than you normally would on a smaller sensor was the priority. In my opinion, this creates a more three-dimensional image.

The shallow focus is a byproduct of shooting with only natural light, so even stopping down to F2 or F2.8 would have been too dark in that space. There was no budget for lights or other crew members.
