This letter by Chris Darke addressed the social, individual concerns of surveillance, as seen in films and other forms of media outputs. A kind of exploitation of surveillance questioning the projection of the gaze, who's watching you?? Living in fear, or a state of "phoney war" and the sense of a "panopticon-esque" society. He talks about a sort of infatuation with surveillance, as seen in reality TV, there has been this kind of fly on the wall approach to filmic strategy that emphasizes a "surrender" to media, almost embracing surveillance.
