Here's something interesting that I noticed in Serenity...
Right when Serenity pops out of that cloud, charging at the allience fleet, suddenly there is sound again. Normally, they never have sound in space. Not that I'm complaining, I thought it was awsome, but just something to point out.

I noticed that every planet or moon--no matter how far away from the central sun--looked like Southern California. You know what? Why don't we re-terraform the Earth?
Just another bald, sadistic, evil bastard in the 'verse. But I'm a nice guy once you get to know me.

the "Let's get to the beacon shot" is badly framed, too: Wash all alone in a very large frame, and Jayne's arm still in the left half of the frame. Both frames just feel wrong. I think it was some very subtle foreshadowing on Joss' part.
(I love that bridge scene, it always makes me want to hand Wash my blankie.)
I've always thought this was more about setting Wash apart from the rest of the crew to help us identify more with him, so it affects us even more when he dies than it was pure foreshadowing. Joss plays the outsider card with Wash quite a bit in the movie. He's the one who isn't really included in the planning. He struggles to keep up with the others' lightening responses to the danger. Another weirdly angled Wash shot is the one on Haven just after Book's death. The way Zoe nearly blocks Wash from view as Jayne asks 'How come they ain't waitin', then Zoe swings around and faces a visibly confused Wash, and tells him 'get on the cortex, wav Lee Chin' and the camera after just a glance at Wash, pans quickly away to Zoe and Jayne as she says this.
Shiny Trees! Yavanna made Shiny Trees!
