INSIDER more background info about stunts and acting in general please

[@tabitha8232]

INSIDER I loved this one!!! During the MCAT, in the critical reading section, there was a passage about documentary sound design; particularly how ultimately the goal of a documentary is generally to convey truth. However, sometimes artificial, enhanced, or contrived sounds are necessary when the actual sound doesn’t support this goal or is unavailable, not of the right quality, etc.. So Tl;dr it’d be interesting to see an episode about how documentarians do sound design 😁

Ty that was sweet of youb

[@ergosumadrieyl2927]

When she said “I was standing right here and nobody could see me”😔 My heart ached. She really never stood a chance. This was such a good episode.

[@Loth-n1v]

Yeah like poor girl from the start she was just really already ignored. :'(

[@Loth-n1v]

Her own haunting is her premonition of death

[@HarshanalHalim]

@@Loth-n1v That would actually be a good explanation... cause I was thinking more of a kind of supernatural time travel but time travel tends to bring problems to story telling

[@HarshanalHalim]

although Nell did mention something about time not flowing in the way we think it does in the supernatural realm

[@amazinggaming7284]

@@HarshanalHalim The way I understood it, once you die you're untethered from causality. Time is like "confetti" but her love for her family is the constant. So her dead self was unintentionally haunting her alive self.

[@nickiwhye3033]

The girl who plays young Shirley (LuLu Wilson) is in Annabelle 2 and Ouija 2 :) she’s a great little actress! Very cool seeing her grow up in scary movies over such a short time, she’s only 13! (Also Theo, Shirley, young father and young Shirley are in Ouija 2 :o)

[@mistyminnie5922]

they could've easily used editing tricks to make it seem like one take, but they chose to do all these complicated methods to make it more authentic.. who said cinema's dead

I knew it! That’s why I’m so captivated by Two Storm episode. There’s just something about that episode that makes me feel like I’m literally there with the Crain family. When they were at Nell’s funeral, I really felt the tension- It didn’t feel like I wasted 53 minutes. I enjoyed every second!

[@santoshpss]

lady pokku yes! I felt like I genuinely was there with them, when Luke saw her body, it was so real to me, I cried a lot... even now if I think about it, I feel like I was there the whole time... it’s crazy how tv shows and movies can affect us... gotta be more careful when deciding to watch a new show... the Walking Dead made my brain go a thousand miles a second...
