WHY DO THEY ADD A SHAKING CAMERA TO EVERYTHING HOLY FUCK CAN I JUST FUCKING FOCUS ON WHAT I AM WATCHING
To simulate movement and action because artfags don't understand real life
>>63383965
It's to add "tension" and "suspense" to the scene.
In reality, there's very few directors that can successfully pull it off. Paul Greengrass for example.
>>63383965
Stop watching shitty movies, idiot.
>>63384987
Holy shit
>>63384987
WHY FUCKING IN GOD'S NAME WHY JUST LET ME SEE WHAT'S GOING ON YOU FUCKING JEWS
>>63384987
>>63383965
They do it to spite you and only you
>>63384987
>Fistfight starts
>Cameraman has a seizure
Because the human eye naturally shakes at 24fps whenever there is action
Sometimes it's only done to disguise badly choreographed fights desu

Well done guys, that's what I call filmmaking.
Which ones worse:
Shaky cam
Or 100 cuts in thirty seconds?
>>63384987
I hate this industry sometimes
>>63386509
How about both like in that webm?
>>63386509
>there are people posting on this board who unironically enjoy capeshit tv shows
why
>>63386509
quickcut is way worse than shaky cam.

>there are people posting on this board who unironically use tripcodes to Hi there! You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making! Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
>>63384987
>tfw those spazzy movements were probably meticulously choreographed
>>63386599
Quick cut can be done very well, like in seinfeld or the Simpsons. But just like shaky cam it can be done right and with thought, not just about cramming as much shit in the time frame available.
>>63386509
people watch this shit for real
I think the reason John Wick was so refreshing was because the camera could actually stand still for 10 seconds straight
>>63386789
It's for women, bro.
They're trying to grab up that female demo with this shit and Jessica Jones and all the other gay stuff. It's working desu senpai kek
>>63386728
Nice copy pasta, brotendo. I'm afraid that got auto filtered a long time ago though.
>>63384987
Did they even use that much shaky cam in Elysium? I remember the action scenes being all right, one of the few good parts of the movie
>>63386832
John Wick was great because Keanu is the greatest actor of his generation.
>>63386865
>filtered it
>still checked it anyway
what a cu.ck
>>63386509
They essentially produce the same functional effect. Although I suppose quickcuts at least offer you a few clear glimpses
>>63386931
:^)
>we have reached a point where Bud Spencer and Terence Hill brawls are better than what we have now
>>63384987
This is just a bunch of guys making fun of elysium right?
>>63383965
If you want a serious answer, it's because of the generalization of the action genre.
20 or 30 years ago, action movies were generally made by directors known for action movies and starred actors known for action roles. They had experience and training in how to direct action scenes and how to perform them. You had crossover between other genres, but it was slower and most of the time was the action people trying to get into more serious works.
Now it's the opposite. Actors and directors known for comedies and dramas are thrown into action movies because they're popular at the time. To give an albeit extreme example of the ignorance within Hollywood of people who've never done action before being thrown into a big budget role: Emilia Clarke in Terminator Genysis. Even though she's been working on an action intensive show (which because it's big right now is the whole reason she was cast) because she was isolated from it, she literally did not understand that modern action still involves some physical action and running and gunning, and isn't purely just standing around and doing everything in CGI.
The result is action scenes that, if you edit it in the older style that emphasized clarity, it just wouldn't look good. So these directors copycat styles that did originate from actual action directors like shaky cam and hypercutting. These techniques have a place if done properly, but these new directors don't understand them. They just use them because everyone else does it, and because it gives them opportunity to use editing as a crutch for what they couldn't actually get right on film. And because one the motivations is just using it because it's what's in, you then have a bleedover to where it's spread from action scenes to just dialogue scenes, where you now also have shaky cam and rapid fire cuts (though I suppose you could say that's also to distract from something, the generally weak dialogue and performances).
The result is
>>63386962
>actually filtering out to this to prevent people from triggering you
pretty sad existence tbqh
what is shaky cam
any example ?
>>63387022
>He said, being triggered by tripcodes
You would know. ;^)

Intentionally shaking the camera around. I assumed that was obvious.

This is one of the rare instances where shaky cam is actually done well. The scene is meant to be distracting so it takes a few of seconds to make the connection that theyre in France so you get that "oh shit" moment. Kind of like those "when you see it you'll shit bricks" pics
>>63387725
Everyone knows, except for hollywood it seems.
>>63387333
That's shaky cam done for completely different reason and effect though, it's okay
>>63387881
>>63387760
Still headache inducing (its the only webm I made in that style though, I probably have others but finding them would be effort - but yeah)
I know this scene has a bunch of cuts, but at least its steady, if they filmed it now it'd be all over the place.
>>63383965
How about webm related to show off every awesome CGI set piece.
I've used to see this only in 3D animation students' work, now it's in every fucking blockbuster.
>>63388296
I blame The Avengers. That shot was used in there the first time I saw it in a movie, but before that all I saw it in was Firefly. I assumed it was Joss Whedon's thing.
>>63388369
Clearly Abrams is also a fan
>>63383965
dumb frogposter
>>63388296
i really hate this
whats it called? sorta like a weird elastic/loose digital zoom?
its very obvious and it was done in post and its just fucking weird. i remember Myst having a random zoom in like that, albeit not as intense obviously
>>63387725
Jackie's movies are produced by the Chinese gov, so he gets as much time to plan out the production, while most Hollywood productions are churned out in 3-4 months
>>63388529
I think it could be called a shaky zoom, I guess
>>63388529
i don't think it has a name, it's just a shitty looking post zoom
>>63388565
Jackie's best work was produced pre-HK unification, he was working with private studios.
>>63388296
This shit ruins man of steel imo. It never ever looks good
>>63387046
All of Cloverfield
I remember they put warnings in the theater near me when it first came to avoid it if you get nauseous easily

>This guy almost made Alien 5
>>63389108

did something change?
please tell me producers cut funding and put it on the shelf of things to never happen
>>63389235
It's "on hold" untill Ridley is done with the Prometheus stuff AKA Alien: Covenant and whatever he does after that.
Hopefully it never gets made or, at least, not by Blomkamp in that case.
>>63388296
>that last one
my fucking sides
this is why I don't go to the cinema anymore
>>63389426
ok i see what they're doing
they saw the reaction to prometheus so they're "testing the waters" with Alien coming back with Covenant
if that bombs then alien 5 doesn't happen
i really hope the movie is good but still bombs if these are the circumstances

It is a tool and when used correctly it is fine (like when viewed through a field reporter's shoulder mounted TV camera). But, like the Photoshop lens flare tool ever fucker uses it incorrectly.
>>63387535
28 Days did something similar by speeding up the Framerate to simulate the Rage Virus, but this is somewhat overkill.
