I like spot light as a concept more than cinematic, it’s closer to reading a book and if it’s well done it feels more immersive and easier to get into, the issue is that there are better stories in cinematic. I think people view spotlight as easier because there’s less directing involved but writing a good story isn’t easy period, you have to work at it. I think people could utilize spotlight more in cinematic stories rather than doing things there are no descent animations for that would be better served described not to mention more convincing. Someone mentioned a football game, any kind of sport would work, I think giving birth would be a good example, or riding a motorcycle, horseback riding, there’s a lot of stuff I’ve seen authors try to direct that just comes off goofy because we don’t have the tools yet.
