PET PEEVES
I have a Pete Smith Speciality with that title in my collection - as with most Pete Smiths,
it covers the subject matter along with a good deal of humour.
I’m sure most of us have a Pet Peeve that annoys the heck out of us.
Well mine (for the month) is the annoying and unnecessary way the TV stations display
vertical format phone footage on wide screen TV sets.
Does anyone, apart from overpaid TV executives, believe that blurred, rapidly moving
garbage ether side of what you are trying to concentrate on enhances the viewing
experience?
I notice a similar thing
happening when 4x3
footage is used.
Surely, either just black or
even a mid grey would not
be intrusive, and allow for
better concentration on
the image.

Wishing all Reel Deals Readers
