Triangle (The X-Files)

Portion used

Entire image (2.35:1 aspect ratio) to preserve the episode's cinematography and avoid misrepresenting the work in any way.

Low resolution?

Low: the video has been compressed and downscaled to 480 x 270 pixels, less than .1 megapixels in size for each frame, downgraded from the original resolution of anamorphic 853 x 480 pixels. Assuming a frame rate of 24p, the 15 seconds contained in this video contains roughly 360 frames out of a total of roughly 34923—less than 1 percent of the total motion picture. The file has been encoded three times and the video has been compressed to a bit rate of roughly 1.2 MBps, much less than the source file, as well as a reduction in audio bit rate. Copies made from this video will be inferior to the original DVD, preserving commercial opportunities, and unsuitable for illegal uses being such a small portion of the film.

Purpose of use

The clip is used to illustrate a noted scene from the second act of "Triangle", the only episode of The X-Files to be solely filmed in real time. The scene in question helps the viewer visualize the direction style of the episode: Chris Carter, director, had a cameraman follow the main actors with a steadicam for long shots, some lasting more than several minutes (a notably difficult feat in modern film-making). In order to achieve accuracy, each scene had to be strategically blocked and lines had to be memorized perfectly: one mess-up would ruin the entire take. In addition the scene was praised by critics: Timothy Sexton from Yahoo! Voices praised the scene and compared it favorably to Orson Welles' 1958 film Touch of Evil. Robert Shearman and Lars Pearson, two noted writers and reviewers, called the scene "punch-the-air wonderful" and praised the precision of the directing. Furthermore, the effect was inspired by a split-screen shot in Semisonic's hit 1998 single "Closing Time.

Replaceable?
