Q&A: Modern Movies Camera Shake: Cheap way to choreograph action?
Question by farfolomew: Modern Movies Camera Shake: Cheap way to choreograph action?
Well, is it? I personally can’t stand the modern film-making technique that takes you, the viewer, so close into the action that you can’t appreciate what’s going on. A good example of this would be Batman Begins near the end of the movie when he’s fighting 4-5 of Liam Neeson’s cronies. You can’t see a bleeping thing!
I’m more and more beginning to feel it’s a cheap way for the director to script an action scene by cutting corners viewers don’t notice.
I never feel like i’m “there” in the action, because Camera Shake doesn’t HAVE the same effect as shaky, frantic action for a human. We have interal Gyro sensors that detect when things are topsy turvey, and compensate when needed.
This camera shake trend is really bothering me! I want a return to panned-out action scenes choreographed a million times over. I think a great example of a modern movie not using the camera shake technique would have to be the Lightsaber duel at the end of the Phantom Menance. I want of that!
