You can probably be pretty specific with your cropping placement but whoever did the editing, likely didn't understand the meaning of both in the shot (I would've missed it initially) and had a directive of, make this look good and full screen, so they chopped it that way.

- devindotcom 13y agoYes, in pan and scan when there's a wide shot with two characters, it is generally preferred to show one person in full at a time and cut between them if you can. Directors generally don't film with this in mind, so it can be rough on certain styles and completely ruins some shots. Has for decades, nothing you can really do if people won't watch letterboxed.
