This cuts back on idle time when the camera pans over the audience. If there are extremely active members of the audience, and other members of the audience not moving or enjoying themselves, this creates a break in the consistency of the shot. If you are seen being inactive in the shot, you may be removed from the crowd.
Actually, Everything is Planned
Every single moment on Ellen is planned. Even the moments you don’t think are planned.
There are stage choreographers that literally curate every second of the show. Ratings are the most important thing to Ellen and the crew, so controlling every move that the audience makes is insanely important.
Clapping Choreographers
Say goodbye to free will, because all the moments on Ellen that you thought were organic were actually meticulously planned.
