Back in the’80s and ’90s there was a bizarre sort of B-movie craze. People would get together and purposefully watch bad movies so they could take turns making wisecracks about the ludicrous things happening on screen. Absolutely not. And so it goes with eLearning.

If you are a human being that has seen a movie before, chances are you’ve heard the smooth and authoritative sound of Morgan Freeman’s voice. Granted, that would be a movie I would pay BIG money to see, but the point is this would be very distracting, and Penguins would become more reality show than documentary.

Leaving lots of people or things or lights or miscellaneous movement in the frame can help a movie the same way a magician uses her hands or props to distract her audience while doing a magic trick.

A well-meaning filmmaker will read the book and try to apply the exact same story structure and dynamics to the film, because what worked in the novel should work in the movie, right? But when the same scene is put in a movie and mishandled by the cinematographer, seconds can feel like small eternities.
