Do you get worried by books if the last page doesn't include the
phrase "The End"? These days, many movies include an extra clip
following the credits. When the clip finishes, and the screen goes
dark, how long do you sit waiting before you accept that the movie
is over?
You wait for the house lights to come up. That's your ending signal.
You mean people still watch movies in theatres?
Yup! Not often, but it's fun once in a while.
The house lights need to be controlled by someone who knows when the
movie's end signal should be sent. What is our ending signal if we're
watching it from media in our home, and no-one in the house knows when
the movie ends?
If it's a tape, it'll stop, or start rewinding; if it's a DVD it'll go
back to the open page. :)
