Guided by emotion and empathy, working through ritual and repetition, television’s core vocabulary reflects its role as a therapeutic voice ministering to the open wounds of the psyche. As a “close-up” medium whose dramatic and social locus is the home, television addresses the inner life by minimizing the heroic while maximizing the private and personal aspects of existence. Where motion pictures favor the panoramic shot, tele vision privileges the zoom shot, looking in rather than out. To represent conversation, film directors use the “shot-counter-shot” effect while television directors employ the tightly constructed “two faces east.” Thus motion-picture conversation emphasizes the separations between people, while television depicts people as closely linked to one another.
—George Lipsitz, U.S. cultural critic, educator. Time Passages: Collective Memory and American Popular Culture, ch. 1, University of Minnesota Press (1990)
