Is there a name for the effect of something usually normal and boring looking fricking awesome in a tv show or film?
Like look at his watch and t shirt, some cheap drink and the shirt is from the gas station, if you saw anyone with either of them you'd just think it was whatever but they look really interesting and cool
Is this why costume designers are costume designers?

I've thought about this a lot, and personally, I don't think it ever has anything to do with what's in the frame, I think it's the presence of the frame itself, which serves to isolate the subject of a shot from everything else around it, that highlights the subject's cinematic and dramatic qualities. Your eyesight doesn't highlight compositional elements, the cinema frame does.
I also "feel" it with names of things, like music albums or film titles, they can be named something stupid like "Crayola" and it seems fancy and cool for some reason
Could you explain
>I also "feel" it with names of things, like music albums or film titles, they can be named something stupid like "Crayola" and it seems fancy and cool for some reason
This. I've seen way too many movies I only watched because I like its title.
Yeah but what makes it feel special when compared to an ordinary word?
I don't watch things because of their title but like look at picrel, is it just because a common noun is being "elevated" to proper?
maybe you have synesthesia? if so, based.
i think i do because sometimes i think of numbers as being certain colors
no that looks pretty bad in the pic too
>no that looks pretty bad in the pic too
yeah it's bad pic but you know what I mean

smoking looks cool in film/tv 100% of the time without fail. It never looks cool in real life. Never
It looks cool as shit and contributes massively to your conversational timing. Been with plenty of women who "hate smoking", zoomer girls in particular like it because all their homosexual friends vape.
You just never saw chad smoke
It looks cool in many contexts, like if you're working on your car or chilling out in the yard, but people retreating to designated smoking areas to feed their craving look pathetic.
The smoking paradox.
no, a cigarette makes you look cooler irl too
>OP discovers photography
Maybe you're right 😮
I think that effect is called "autism".
It’s gay
Mike is so Cinemaphile
Yeah, I'd watch these two play Super Metroid.
because you take a moment to actually look at what you see instead of beeing in a flow of constant stimulation
try photography
>Is there a name for the effect of something usually normal and boring looking fricking awesome in a tv show or film
Yes it's called the Reddit effect.
like if I get this haircut I'll just look like a twat and not an interesting dangerous badass
Your like of bones would make any haircut look bad on you.
I'm a paleontologist but how did you know?
that haircut is not doing him any favors either. its just halo effect of his otherwise chiseled face making it look acceptable.
this plus the fact that you know it's a fictional character, and a tough larger-than-life one at that. It changes how you assess his appearance.
Jimmy did it better
I've never watched it because that hair looks so stupid I assume the whole thing is stupid.
it's not bad but you will get tired of harmonicas and slow-mo shots of Tommy walking trying to look cool real quick.
No, he looks like a twat, too.
Same.
old people skin is revolting fr fr
so is your race
sorry, you're not in front of the mirror sweetie
>Like look at his watch and t shirt, some cheap drink and the shirt is from the gas station, if you saw anyone with either of them you'd just think it was whatever but they look really interesting and cool
No they don't
I can't believe someone wrote these words and now there's 17 IPs ITT talking about it
I agree with OP. That watch really tied the shirt together.
I don't know why but I found Waltuh's clothing so kino I recreated it them 0.9:1 (didn't copy that hat because that's too cringe)
It's weird because his style is pretty generic but it just draws me in
>I copied walter white's style of a collard shirt and pants
that's pretty out-there anon
Anything presented in an artistic context acquires meaning, because of intent and interpretation. Because of the inherent fakeness of creation, your mind automatically starts looking for meaning and purpose behind creative decisions, even the most mundane.
Wrong. Beauty is objective, qualia exist, and you don't deserve to be alive.
Did I write that beauty doesn't exist, or anything that would even remotely suggest that. Are you that terrible reading comprehension, or do you just like arguing with strawmen that live rent free inside your head?
Also, thank you for further proving my point. You see that urinal and you go
>The author wants to destroy art, beauty, western civilization, therefore the poster must be of the same mindset
So you created meaning, just from a picture I posted. What OP described is a real phenomena that is very real and pertains to artificial constructs, it applies to media as well as art. The beauty factor doesn't matter, people have been arguing in a similar way about Mona Lisa's smile, a painting which would fit your beauty standard as upholding true EVROPA standards, or whatever you LARP as online.
Anon are you high.
No, I've always felt this from media but never really thought about asking about it
God, I want to stop eating packaged sliced bread because I know it's pure cancer and I eat two sandwiches daily but bakery sliced bread is infinitely more expensive.
I feel like a broken record with how much I've been telling people about it but I lost 30~ pounds in the past 4-5 months and I've been eating picrel, it's the least slopped bread out there in the USA
I live at uroland but there's equivalent 'healthy' supermarket bread brands, but at this point if you're gonna pay for it, why not get, like, real bread from a bakery.
Because bakery bread is zogged even more and lies about ingredients
>be american
>eat bread
>die
IMO, it's the lighting, but especially, it's the color-grading. Low-budget productions where it's just a group of film students running around with a camera shooting in natural daylight and then presenting the raw footage isn't going to look cool. What looks cool is lighting up a scene so that there's shadows in all the right places, or not at all, and then fricking with the color grading so that it doesn't have the washed-out boring colors that we're used to seeing in real life. Picture related.
