Hmm... Just last night I was thinking about that, how live tv studio
cutting/switching has affected film cutting. The speed of the cutting
may have been influenced by the fact that tv was a low res medium,
early tv looked like crap so there was a need to distract the viewers
from looking too closely at a particular framing... Fast cutting
became standard practice of the mainstream audiovisual language. Damn.
Please check Peter Watkins thoughts on the subject of the Monoform-
the mainstream audiovisual language thats ruining film:
