 It's not all bad

Who know's pretty soon we'll probably be a part of a film, being totally emersed in a virtual environment. | I like these types of shots in films however they do have to be used correctly. As for the Bourne Ultimatum I don't think there was anything wrong with it. Admittedly I haven't watched the DVD for several weeks now but it's a fast paced action film so the shots match the footage. But it is personal preference and no-one's wrong when it comes to whether they like something or not. Quote:

I ate a large bag of maltesers all the way through and didn't feel queasy once. The only shots that I thought were a bit odd was when they main characters were climbing through that building to rescue the young woman. When I first heard these reports I thought that camera work was really all over the place but to me it was fine. In the previews it was said to be documentary style like the Blair Witch project and it was. The whole idea of the film was to shoot it from the hands of just an average bloke not a cameraman so the shots aren't going to be perfectly still and move correctly. Did the audience really think that he (the character with the camera) was just going stand there in the subway whilst those spider like things attacked? No, I don't even a professional camera operator would. I could go on about Cloverfield but I won't. That's for another thread in another forum. The general population gets used to something and expects everything to carry on like that. This isn't the case, things change, new ideas are concocted, new ways of doing something are found.  |
