    It's also boring if there are too many shots, the movie ends and you can't remember a single one. A movie that feels just like a fast succession of close ups is annoying to watch. So what you are saying works well for dialogue scenes like the one you took as an example, but you also need variety. Some scenes, for example, can be covered with just one single shot, and it's the director's job to make that shot interseting enough so the audience doesn't get bored.

    I'm fairly disappointed with the monitor. I feel like I had to fiddle around with the colors and brightness / contrast a lot until it more closely resembled what I see on my FX6 monitor and even still it's not that accurate. My biggest gripe, though, is that highlights will literally burn away on this monitor while I can still see them on my FX6 monitor. Really don't know if I'm using this thing wrong or if something is up with my unit or that's just how cheap monitors are.

      The same. It was not possible to manually calibrate the color. Preset 6500 is too warm and green. 9300 is more normal, but I would like to make it slightly warmer, which is impossible. In general, I decided that it was just a bright monitor that should not be trusted.
