"Boom"

Boom, boom, boom, boom, I'm gonna shoot you right down.

Another excellent exhortation from Optus to filmgoers urging them to leave their phones in their pockets when they go to the cinema. The dedication of the sound recordist, holding a boom mic in the searing heat as a director decides he wants yet another take is surely reason enough to pay everyone the respect of watching the entertainment they've sweated over.

Andreas Nilsson uses a close-up to generate mystery as we see the face of the sound recordist while hearing the voice of the actor. Assuming this is being shown ahead of the film when Australians go to the cinema, it will surely have many in the audience wondering what's going on, and the payoff will maybe make some of them behave in the proper fashion.
