Constantly zoomed in way too much, and constantly moving the camera from side to side, following every little movement of the characters.
This is not smart. It doesn't make you feel like you are part of it. It doesn't do one single good thing for the movie. It's just a lame failed attempt at making the camera style interesting.
I totally agree. Nice script, actors and music, but nonsense cinematography
shareShaky cam: It's bad, but that's the trend now. Many years in the future, filmmakers will be saying, "What in hell were we thinking?".
shareWhen I was 15 making home-movies with my friends, long before the trend, I would purposely use short depth of fields and shake the camera, zooming in and out quickly every once and a while.
Now that I'm older, I still have an appreciation for a small baby handful of shakiness in certain times throughout a movie. If I were to make home-movies again, I would buy a steadi-cam/tripod.
I agree. I was thrown off the first couple of times and thought it was too much and distracted from the film.
shareTotally agree with you. That was the ONLY complaint I had with this movie. Everything else was very good, but the camera work was incredibly distracting.

I'm typically not a fan of shaky cam, and I actually didn't notice much of it in this film. The constant awkward zooms didn't bug me at all, since I'm used to it with older Italian horror films.
Overall, I found the camera work to be appropriate given the film's tone.

Yeah, I really wish if they were going to spend millions of dollars on a movie they would at least invest in a tripod and a good camera man. It reminded me of how my wife films home videos of our son on vacation or playing in the yard. I told her she could make it as a camera person in Hollywood after seeing this movie.
