Notes from my handy-dandy notebook! This will be on how the film breaks conventional rules.
-The camera doesn't cut to each character as they speak. There is no shot/reverse shot, the camera merely stayed on one of the characters while they spoke to another off screen character.
-Some of the editing doesn't appear to make continuity clear, and rather just make it confusing. The shots also don't appear to have any relevance to the narrative.
-There are rarely establishing shots, in favor of slides presenting the scene number as well as a few printed words. Usually we are thrown into a setting just before a scene begins.
-Music isn't used to evoke reactions of the audience, but apparently just to fill dead air, as the music track stops when dialogue or other sounds interrupt it.
-Parallel editing is used, but isn't entirely clear that it is being used during the movie theatre seen.
That's about it! Otherwise, it was quite the trip!
