I took a picture of my television inside my apartment as I felt it was a great example of “framing” and how it frames the content and media that exists on that plane of entertainment. If you think of it as a sort of plane, the contents of the plane are constrained to exist only within the frames of the borders and do not extend beyond them. The television may contain other frames within the frame, such as menus or guides or simply how images and media are divided but they ultimately only exist on the singular plane that is the square box they call their “home”. Imagine if a television was not constrained to its frame – would it “leak” everywhere, for lack of a better word, or simply exist entirely all at once? Frames divide our world so our brain can process and understand the divisions individually and separate A from B.
