Johnny Greenwood mixing score for IV; frame of PTA film in background

[bandwraith at aol.com]

Well, I mean, it could also be just a clip from the CCTV
sequence that might  include the "Money Shot" of Glen's
murder, and so, would necessarily be unprofessional and
undirected. That part of IV, with it's "nested" settings
of subject/object concerns- a character watching his own
filming- and achieving a self-awareness somewhat closer
to that of the reader/audience, reminded me of Antonioni's
classic 60's release- "Blow-up", which I think Pynchon is
quoting. And if Pynchon is not quoting Antonioni, then I bet PTA will.

It is. The colour grade of the IV frame on the TV looks odd. The
colour temperature is wrong. It's not adjusted to tone down the blue
end of natural light (our eyes usually adjust make it seem more
earthy). Also looks like it was shot on real film, maybe even 16mm.
Anderson knows his real film stocks.

It looks like he might even be going for a deliberately amateur 70s
vibe, like an exploitation film from the era. That would be massively
encouraging. The naive framing (Joaquim's face is perfectly centred,
which is expressly forbidden in any film school's first lesson) adds
to this theory.
