Analyzing Evangelion's Perfect First Act

From screen direction and color use to shot composition and telephones, even the first Act of legendary anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion has a lot to offer in the way of cinematic education. So kick back and relax as we dive head first into chapter one of Hideaki Anno's magnum opus in an attempt to understand Shinji, Misato, and why I keep mispronouncing Ritsuko's name. This is the first proper deep-dive into Evangelion, much requested after my last essay on the series, so I hope you all enjoy! Mostly just sharing the details and motifs I noticed while rewatching the show that maybe slipped under your radar as well. Hey there!
