Stop with the tiny phone texting


I have noticed in the last few years that shows and movies have improved ease for the viewer to read phone text messages. Either by large stylized floating projection, or simple subtitling of what is being communicated on the phone screens.

This show, however, didn't bother with that. I couldn't read at least half of them because they were so tiny and the shots were so quickly gone. Having to regularly rewind, pause and peer lest you miss a plot point is no fun at all.

Of course it depends on your vision, but why not just err on the side of caution and make it clear and easy for everyone regardless of their visual acuity and/or the size of screen they're watching it on?

You're totally right. As far as I'm concerned, they can drop texting from tv shows and movies completely. It's always a pain in the ass to read.
