Oh the cinematography of Asylum is *gorgeous*. But the cinematography on BtVS wasn't gorgeous. Unlike Angel which aimed to be cinematic Buffy remained determinedly TV. Academy ratio and plenty of mundane one shot-two shot editing. Intimate but not visually striking until every so often it would leap out and suprise you like a salmon pink OT3 fantasy or Satsu's eyes reflected in the blade of her katana.
