| | Exploding the Frame |
 | | In cinema as we know it, there is a language of filmmaking which has developed (wide shot, close-up, over the shoulder, stage line, moving shots, static shots, effective edit points, sound cuts, music cuts, etc.) which we all use, even as we bring our own individual styles to making films. |
 | | Our horizon line, the visual horizon which completely fills our view, is now the horizon line inside the image, and when it tilts, we feel as though the whole theater is tipping and tilting - like the theater is moving. |
 | | The horizon line in the gigantic unframed image becomes our ground, our floor, rather than the floor supporting the TV, and the perceptual experience moves onto the audience’s side of the screen. |
