oh aunty...

Have you watched TV lately? There’s an irritating new filming trend going on.
Imagine a world in which the BBC (or whoever, though it does seem prevelant on the Beeb) is unable to afford a camera that is big enough to film someone’s entire face, or, if you're a fan of sci-fi, a world where cameras big enough to film an entire face haven't yet been invented, or, if you're a fan of sci-fi-mutation, a world where people's faces are so huge that no single camera is big enough to catch them in their entirety, anyway, what you get in these worlds, and, more and more on our TVs are silly shots of someone’s ear and cheek while they give you their opinions on fashion (yes, you Ozwald Boatang, love your squared off collars btw), or close ups of people's mouth and teeth or some such. Obviously, on Crimewatch this is understandable but on documentaries can we not just have normal shots of people’s faces while they share their knowledge?
Someone please forward this to Points of View.
