The "walk down the hall shot"

[Sephiroth]

Perhaps one of the most overused cinematic elements in film and television. You all doubtless know what I am referring to, as you have seen it a million times but maybe never noticed it. The shot of a person, or group of person, walking toward the camera, often down the length of a hallway and sometimes even in slow motion. Observe

See what I mean by overused? I can remember seeing a documentary about the assassination of the arch duke Franz Ferdinand of the Austrian Empire-where they opened by showing the assassins doing that very thing. What are some other examples you guys can think of?

... so to prove how it's overused you used the X-men evolution hallways scene that was specifically meant to reference the craft's version of the scene.

Hell WWE uses it all the time too.

I was just saying it's not a great example you used because the X-men one was specifically referencing the other scene you showed to.

Notice how even the extras are the same.

I got no problem with this trope especially when said scene is accompanied by absoloutley perfectly fitted music and it is one of my absoloutley favourite scenes from my favourite DCTV show.

And why is this a problem?

Do people actually have to complain, comment on, be offended by, nitpick to death or be annoyed by EVERY little unimportant detail about EVERYTHING these days...

Actually...I take that back...
Stupid question because I'm on the internet where that is the breeding ground for infantile complainers that can't enjoy just being alive and well without over-analyzing everything until they find some fault with it...
