Amateur Film Maker

 Then unexpected side affects of a student film maker is that you start looking at tv shows differently.  Id include movies, but as you know, I don't see a lot of them.

Im starting to observe how often they cut to a different camera, how they frame the picture with little or no headroom (thanks Cory), or the type of shot.  What I should be looking at is how they craft the show, the storyline, but that is something im not ready for, yet.  

What disturbs me as I watch season 5 of Mrs. Maisel, I spend more time watching the credits.  Yes, the acknowledgements at the end of the show.  What font are they using, what format, who they are crediting. Yes, I am getting ticked at those shows where they minimize the screen off to the side while they start the next show.  Show me the damn credits.......

Maybe I aspire to be like Chuck Lorre and have note cards at the end of the show with my thoughts of the day.  Like this blog.  I guess Im there already.  Off to watch episode 4 of Mrs. Maisel and read the credits.
