>text messages are shown on walls for the viewer

Clearly and effectively showing a text message isn't easy on film.

they should stop making movies set in modern times. Text messages are gay

underrated

K, but it's an effect that has worn out its welcome.

House of cards does it best

what is that expression trying to convey?

Seems obviously to me to be disgust.

idk it could be a combination of exhaust and surprise

Context can be very important for reaction images.

It's simple and clear. It'll probably outlive you.

Hm, if we are still using text messages on smartphones as a form of communication by the time I die, I would be a little surprised. I imagine the future is something resembling Google Glass.

>movie has cellphones

what the fuck is with this non believable technology. Since they were in Star Wars we're just supposed to believe we'll eventually have cell phones? Every movie takes it as a given

Wouldn't this same technique work for that?

>main character just had to believe

Well, they could show it from a first-person perspective.

I don't like when they abuse the superimposition technique.

I bet if they just juxtaposed both images side by side the audience would get a more clear image of what's happening withouth breaking the 4th wall

This.

If that technology becomes the norm, do you really think movies will just start going into a first-person view every time someone is looking at something on their glasses?

>the movie represents a telephone conversation by dividing the screen in half with a lightning bolt, then as the main character on the left dials the operator, on the right tracing the phone line up the wall and across the power poles, through the cityscape to Ma Bell's switchboard, where a dishy broad in cats eyes glasses asks for the number, and he brusquely informs, "My lucky number, sweet cakes," and she blushes and says, "I'll be off work at seven, you scoundrel!" and disconnects him, and suddenly the split screen wipes, and he strikes a match off his stubble and sucks a Lucky Strike and struts off screen

You saw my mad men parody?

Actually, that response is a little silly, but as said, it can be abused, and it's better to avoid it, because sueprimposition can ruin immersion.

My nama Chef

Why is society depicted in film pre-smartphone era so much better than present-day setting?

Fuck
I'm starting to fall in love with her, like three months ago thought she was an ugly ass cunt.
