A Critique of Judgment in Film and TelevisionPeirce’s Better Triad

A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television: Peirce’s Better Triad [The shot, made on March 3, 1991 starting at 12.52 a.m. (and 13 seconds), is taken from just over nine minutes of footage. It is night and the images are, for the most part, unsteady. Initially, and periodically thereafter, frames are somewhat out-of-focus. Although filmed on a color video camera, the picture is desaturated and it does not meet professional lighting and compositional norms. Nevertheless, it is sharp enough for long enough for a man to be seen in middle distance lying prone on a road. In the first 1’24” of the video, he is being brutally beaten by a number of surrounding figures. The prone man and a light-colored parked car behind him are illuminated by headlights. The standing figures are largely silhouetted but they can be plainly seen kicking the man (seven times) and striking him with clubs (more than fifty-three times).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The shot, made on March 3, 1991 starting at 12.52 a.m. (and 13 seconds), is taken from just over nine minutes of footage. It is night and the images are, for the most part, unsteady. Initially, and periodically thereafter, frames are somewhat out-of-focus. Although filmed on a color video camera, the picture is desaturated and it does not meet professional lighting and compositional norms. Nevertheless, it is sharp enough for long enough for a man to be seen in middle distance lying prone on a road. In the first 1’24” of the video, he is being brutally beaten by a number of surrounding figures. The prone man and a light-colored parked car behind him are illuminated by headlights. The standing figures are largely silhouetted but they can be plainly seen kicking the man (seven times) and striking him with clubs (more than fifty-three times).]
