The Movie Camera Twitch

Demolocke’s Agenda Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

It's the camera action being used as if some untrained person with a cell phone is making, taking, a movie of something then putting that on the big screen - arrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh! Good example, the start of it all, the Blair Witch Project. They used it later on the second Jason Bourne film and on others as well but I have to ask myself, “WHYYYYYYYYY!’

For me, the movie camera twitch is irritating, obnoxious and just plain stupid is as stupid does. It’s a bit like they ran out of experienced camera crews and had to settle on Johnny Dipshit and his cell phone video camera. It is like, Amateur night at the movies. We, me and my age group, use to call such movies, “B Movies.” 

The lighting sucks, the people acting in most of them are also amateur’s and the overall film and story, could be really good, turn out due to the camera work, “Horrible.” 

I love seeing previews and I loved it when I was younger when going to the local Beach Street theater watching the upcoming features was just plain cool and fun. Now, thanks to technology and the Internet places like IMDB and iTunes previews you can get a head start on the next movie way before it is released - that’s good. It also provides you the opportunity to find out which are subjected to the horrors of bad camera work so you can, wait for it … … … avoid the stupid movie!

These movies are not main stream in my book, they are not even good enough to be “B” movies so they end up being, as I define them, “Y” movies meaning since the letter is way on the opposite end of the alphabet, i.e., main moves being “A” and “B”, that they are not even worth reviewing by the Rotten Tomato group.

I mean, just looking at the still on the below trailer is just stupid and a harbinger of bad movie camera stuff to come. Ugh!
