I was watching this video essay on a Death Note seen, and it makes a really dumb tangent going on about the "kuleshov effect", which is a technique this essay acknowledges wasn't even used. (i.e. cutting back to a reaction shot that you already used to mean something else). And it then proceeds to go "BUT WHAT IF THEY DID DO IT, WHAT WOULD THE SCENE MEAN THEN"
I'm like "The fuck" if you're going to analyze the shot composition of a work, and you yourself change the shots used in this composition, at that point you're just analyzing your own fanfiction.
