The Match Cut Xtreme Crocheting Thread (and The Dark Knight)

The van getting hit and falling into the water makes sense. The other van behind it not then smashing into the semi makes less sense. Although in theory they could have hit their breaks and the semi could have continued on it's merry way. Although if the goal is to get at Harvey then why the semi would continue on it's merry way and not just stop and act as a roadblock does not make sense. The shot where the batmobile takes the rocket and the van is no longer next to it also makes no sense. And I actually did clue into that one when I saw the film.

I also don't really agree with his 180 rule criticisms or his vantage point criticisms for the most part. I do agree though that the sequence would be better without all that pointless extraneous dialogue and cut aways to inconsequential extras. Just keep the focus on the primary characters.

I remember while watching the film for the first time that the geography felt a little choppy while Batman was taking the detour through the shopping mall.

I haven't watched it in quite some time now so my memory is hazy, but I do remember cuts and transitions where he seemed to be in completely different places from where he was just a split second before.

Again, my memory is terrible. I just remember feeling that confusion at one time.

In other news, I use that scene to test my sound quality.
