Just a dramatic quick cut because we have the attention spans of gnats. They did something similar at the beginning of that clip.

A few years back I started to notice the amount of cuts increasing in TV shows and it would give me a headache cause I couldn't tune it out. I've gotten used to it though.

Go watch some Diners Drive-Ins and Dives episodes from around season 8-9. I got seasick from them cutting like 3 or 4 times per second.

Sometimes I'll be reading or doing something in the living room such that I can't see what's on screen but I can see the light of the TV shining around the room and it's insane how much the TV flashes when there's a show with a lot of cuts. I first noticed it years ago when watching a music video.

When Scream came out in 1996 were there actually a lot of viewers who thought Drew Barrymore was the lead and were surprised by the opening scene, or did everyone know Neve Campbell was the heroine and that Barrymore was basically just a cameo before going in?

They put Barrymore prominently on the poster and in the trailer, so even if they didn't think she was the heroine it was probably still surprising

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
Are directors and other movie crew people allowed to talk about the movies they're working on? For example, while filming Civil War, was Chris Evans allowed to talk about how today they finished the giant fight scene where War Machine is horribly injured? Or do most major notion pictures have nondisclosure agreements in place?

It varies from picture to picture, but the Marvel movies all have incredibly stringent NDAs for everyone involved.

I'm sure they have them in their trailers, but like Chris Evans or RDJ don't really have a good motivation for leaking poo poo and probably face a significant monetary penalty if they flagrantly violate the NDA. For minor crew they might have to turn them in at the start of the day, but there's also just the threat of being blacklisted from ever working on any Disney film ever again.

ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

Speaking as someone who did some runner work on the first Captain America when it filmed in Manchester... No. They don't make you hand in your cellphone or anything, but they do have crew lockers and it would be bad form to keep them on you. You have to keep them on airplane mode any way because signals can mess with equipment.

Further to that no one outside of the main crew really has context for what's being filmed. So I knew we were filming a chase scene but with no context of how or when it occurred in the film.

I worked on TFA and they had special tape they put over phone cameras which changed colour if they were removed. You also had to sign in and out of any stage you went on and the crew who needed their phone cameras had to sign even more restrictive NDAs.

I was 12 when the movie came out and didn't see it until it hit VHS so I can't speak to what the first audiences expected going in, but I distinctly remember it being known as a Neve Campbell movie basically as soon as people started seeing it and talking about it. It wasn't like The Sixth Sense where people would talk about "the twist ending" but were careful not to give it away.

Back then I think the average moviegoer made a lot fewer assumptions about any particular movie before it came out.

from what I understand it kind of depends on what they're talking about; he could say they finished a giant fight scene, but saying it's the one where War Machine is horribly injured would get him in some poo poo

Which is a huge bummer because it's a great idea and could've been a fun, idiosyncratic movie, but creativity and joy aren't allowed in movies now so it's just another insipid, arid, crappy romance about white people with all the collective charisma of a box of #2 pencils.

Koyaanisqatsi has some stock footage but I think the bulk of the film was actually shot by the crew.

However someone has recreated the film, or possibly just the trailers I can't remember, using nothing but stock footage and it is basically identical.

No, most of the footage in Koyaanisqatsi is original, though Naqoyqatsi is something like 80% archive and stock footage. It's not a feature film, but This Is A Generic Love Story is constructed entirely from the kind of lovely stock footage you see in commercials. There've also been a couple films made from security camera footage - I can't remember what it was called, but there was a movie about a world where nobody has faces (from public footage with faces blocked out) and one person unexpectedly develops a face.

Technically, every piece of stock footage is a movie made completely out of stock footage.

What counts as stock footage? There are films with no original footage, like La classe américaine or Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen or shorts like A movie and Rose Hobart but I don't think those are technically stock footage.
