Isn't a Festival?

Mr. North does love his cinematogrpahic terms... And loves scriptwriting... He shall contact Green Helmet... They would make the blockbuster of the season...

Yes... He "forgot" his timings... The chronometer stopped working. But that doesn't stop him... For example:

"Clearly, these are not simultanous shots taken from different vantage points. They are posed separately, the two photographers each being given their own unique shots."
Act 1, Scene 2

The body was posed... No doubts about that. Staged? Give me a break! One guy did here a thing that he cannot repeat. Ever. Even if he is the Houdini of Hezbolywood camera tricks. Even if the man worked for Lucas, Spielberg and Hitchcock for all life. It is impossible to do the same thing, under the same conditions and know every corner of what is going on around. Impossible.

The true sequence of shots:

almost instantaneous

1-2 seconds

However:

This one is more difficult. The damn watermark blows things a little bit. Besides "Doctor" Hajj also spoils things with his doctoring. Anyway, it is a few seconds from the sequence. Probably it comes up first. However on feature doesn't fit well. It could be after those shots.

So, while we can see a clear posing, I would stop quite far from staging claims. Apart of showing the body, this is the most natural sequence one can see. So natural that makes me wonder if Mr. North came from other dimension in the Universe...

Why?.. Pick the pictures and do the homework. You don't want? Want: "now see here, see there... now look here, now let's go there"? Bow the Cow pal... This ain't the butcher's alley. I don't lead people. I show only the way to go...
