Really a Useful Note: Focal Length

Focal Length isn't really be used as a trope and is written like a Useful Notes page. Move? Cut?

No examples on-page. Wicks (4/4 - 100%):

• Camera Tricks - Valid indexing.
• Pages Needing Wicks - Due to lack of examples, yes.
• Zoom - Mentioned in the description. Valid usage, but not as a trope.
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Attempts to use this as a trope, but I feel like a different camera trick or Depth Perplexion might fit better. Here's the example's text:
  • Focal Length: The shot of Lancelot running toward the swamp castle is extended into Parody by zooming in and out... and repeating footage.

So we have only 1 attempt to use this as a trope. There are 719 inbounds.

Trope. Camera Tricks are storytelling devices but people tend to not notice them, thus the lack of examples. I'd do some example grabbing in TLP.

I don't really think this is a trope as written. The page just explains how different camera effects are technically produced. It's not limited to a specific type of camera effect, and it doesn't describe a Camera Trick with specific meaning and effect. That makes it different from something like Fish-Eye Lens which is also technical but creates a specific effect when used as well as a history of use within certain genres and scenarios, making it actually a trope.

Move to Useful Notes.

Can we stop suggesting TLP as a solution for all stub pages? It almost never actually works— it's almost like giving a trope a more agonizingly slow death sentence.

UN.

Move to Useful Notes

Move to Useful Notes.

We're at 7 votes to move, and 1 vote to take it back to TLP. I would like to get a few more votes in.

Adding my vote to turn into UN

One more bump. Currently 8 to move to UN, 1 for TLP.

At this point, we'll probably need a crowner.

Edit: Getting one set up!

Few days later, and the crowner matches the thread more or less.

Bump for votes

13 votes to move. Going to do the work.

Edit: Done. Main page on cutlist and all wicks resolved.
