I Normally Really Like Heathers, But This ProShot Seems Very Artificial

I normally really like heathers, but this proshot seems very artificial.

I'll be honest, I'd rather watch a bootleg zoomed in from the back row. One of the best things about theatre is how much can happen on a stage at one time. But, when you're constantly zooming in onto a different person's face or chopping between alternate views of the stage, it's harder to appreciate the smaller details.

The increased volume of the audience applause at random jokes makes the show feel a lot more hostile, like an eerie sitcom. And I'll be honest ruins 90% of some of the funniest moments in the show.

Also, the "editing" thing they did before the ad breaks was very weird, and sort of took away from the moment.

I think the cast were great. This JD definitely wasn't my favourite, but again, I really don't think the filming quality did them any favours.
