If reality was constantly exciting and engaging, then we&#8217;d never go to the movies in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the cinematic experience is being taken away to imaginative lands or seeing something exciting happen in a mundane setting. That is why so many films use a <strong>cinematic<\/strong> <strong>real<\/strong><strong>ity<\/strong><em><strong> \u2014\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>a world that is grounded\u00a0in actual reality but best serves the overall aesthetic of a film.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ox0rOecPHy4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A perfect explanation comes from director <a title=\"Christopher Nolan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0634240\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Christopher Nolan<\/a>, who, after discussing the &#8220;real world&#8221; setting of his Dark Knight trilogy, had this to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But it&#8217;s about what I suppose you might term a <strong>cinematic reality<\/strong>. It&#8217;s about giving the world of the films and the characters as much weight and validity as they would if your source material were not a comic book \u2014 if he was a character in another genre of film you were having to introduce to the audience for the first time and get them to believe it. That&#8217;s really what my use of the word reality is about. <strong>It&#8217;s not about a literal reality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the appeal of the world of Gotham is that it is not real life. It is removed from real life.

Police stations always have the latest computers and brand new cars. My personal favorite are the glass offices that usually house the FBI or CIA. Have you ever seen an FBI office? <strong>It&#8217;s more boring than you can imagine.<\/strong>\u00a0Here is a side-by-side comparison of an actual FBI office and the office of the Diplomatic Security Service in <em><a title=\"Furious 7\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2820852\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Furious 7<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72756\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg\" alt=\"FBI_Office\" width=\"755\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg?resize=300,98 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg?resize=277,91 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg?resize=359,117 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg?resize=543,178 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg?resize=560,183 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/FBI_Office.jpg?resize=150,49 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a>Left image via <a title=\"FBI\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">FBI<\/a>.

The light&#8217;s color temperature is all over the place. The room is crowded, small, and visually unsettling. Compare that to the clean look of the DSS office. The entire office is lit with a nice cool blue, and there are accents of orange and green. Is it unbelievable as a real office? Yes, but that doesn&#8217;t really matter. The goal is to keep the audience invested in the film. If it suits the rest of the story to have a cool flashy office \u2014 go for it!<\/p>\n<p>While on the topic of offices, don&#8217;t forget about the oversized and clean air vents that allow our protagonist to stealthily move through the building. Not only are these HVAC units tiny and full of screws holding it in place, they are gross. Without having a unit properly maintained, expect the vents to look more like a horror set.<\/p>\n<p>Just take a look at this photo from an HVAC cleaning company. Compare that to the large clean vent John McClane crawls through\u00a0in <a title=\"Die Hard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0095016\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><em>Die Hard<\/em><\/a>.
