"I thought my contact lenses had slipped" - Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's screen-blurring effect is provoking headaches and confusion
Viewers react to Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's prominent 𒅌blur effect: "My head hurts so bad"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is burning up the streaming bytes on Netflix, but one odd stylistic choice is seriously messing with viewers. As t✱hey sit down to celebrate the Halloween season wit﷽h some good old high school witchcraft and spooky teen drama, they find their eyes drawn away from the central characters and toward the sorta fisheye, sorta "forgot to wipe your finger oil off the lens" blur effect that often frames the action.
It's a concern GR+'s own Lauren O'Callaghan raised in her revi𒁃ew of the season: "During scenes of particular horror or magic, there’s a blur🐬ring around the sides of the frame, which I found somewhat distracting." But some have found it even more difficult, or sometimes even discomforting, to (literally) look past.
It took me 4 hours to watch the first episode of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Wont be finishing it. My head hurts so bad from the blur effects. Sucks. #netflix #ChillingAdventr♏uesofSabrina
the focus/blur stuff they're doing in the first ep of sabrina (a𒅌nd possibly others but. i have not watched them yet.) is giving me a headache and also vertigo so that's fun
I'm just not ꩵinto The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina at all for multiple reasons, but I also just couldn't get past the visual effects. If you have sensitive eyes, watch out, they do this really annoying blur/soft focus thing frequently that's unpleasant to look at.
honestly the blur they used for netflix sa✨brina is so funny i thought my contact lenses had slipped 2 the slide or so🍸mething
Even if it doesn't hurt, Sabrina's blur can still be a distraction
If you haven't watched it yet, don't fret too much; you probably(?) won't get a headache from the blur effect around the edges of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. But having skipped through a few epis𝓀odes to see how the effect looks in motion, I have to agree that using it so prominently was an odd choice.&n🌟bsp;
So far I'm very into Chilling Ad𓆉ventures of Sabrina but this blur filter they put on the outside of the shot during magic shit Needs To Stop
just binge watched the new Sabrina series and I can’t stand that stupid blur effect they have all t😼hroughout the show
Just watched the first episode of the new Sabrina series on Netflix and I'm pleasently surprised by its tone, pacing and ensemble. Really good stuff! The only negative I have about it is the excessive use of blur in some scenes, especially when it bleeds on to the characters 😣
But what does Sabrina's blur mean?
At first, it seems like the effect is used to clue you into the fact that strange magic things are happening right now.

Looks like the blur effect is only around witch stuff and Sabrina’s house. All the other scenes don’t have it 👍🏾 #CAOS #ChillingAdventruesofSabrina
Really enjoyed the first episode of Sabrina. Way lไess goofy horror than I was expecting but that’s good I think. Unsure about consistent thick blur around ꦇthe edge of the screen during every scene involving magic. I get it but it’s a lot.
But it isn't quite as cut and dry as "magic equals blur", because - just as an example - the dance scene at a friend's house in episode 2 has the blur effect as well. And considering it's at a Halloween party, they're not even dancing that freakily. The crew behind Chilling Adventures of Sabrina must be going for something with the e꧋ffect, but whatever it is, it probably isn't worth the headache.
It seems very likely that the blur was added in post-production rather thaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn during filming, so Netflix could probably tone it down in certain scenes or even cut the blur out entirely with a sort of post-release patch. Even if it sticks by its wobbly out-of-focus guns, hopefully Netflix will keep this feedback in mind if and when it starts brewing up Sabrina season 2.
