Prequel: I can't believe someone signed off the the mess of the worst camerawork seen in years!
It applies to previous episodes too,but episode 4 takes the crown as the most horribly shot movie/tv show in the last few years. An absolute fail from directors, producers to cameramen.
1. Learn what 24fps is. Learn the relation between movement vs 24fps vs brain. There are calculation that can be made, though in essence you CANNOT use 24p and use not only fast action that blurs any kind of action to the human eye, but also you absolutely failed at the fact you added various camera shakes on top
Many scenes are absolutely unusable, all we are seeing is some kind of action, blurred by fast panning/movements + fast action and excessive in camera and/or possibly post-production camera shakes. Some of those shakes even look fake. Did you have the audacity to add a camera shake in post???!! WHY?
2 I want to teach you the key in directing: Viewers want to see the details of everything we see. If there's action, we want to see it. If you are a good director, you don't have to hide bad acting, bad action, bad sfx,bad background staging and stunts into camera shakes that blur and hide all of YOUR flaws!!
When we watch action scenes we want to enjoy the mastery of beautifully staged scenes and every detail and though you WOULD HAVE put into creating it
Learn the key simple fact. Good action does not need camera shake to show it is action!! We have eyes, we can see it!!
3. You need to educate yourself on the current tech in the TV world. I'll give you a hint: OLED TVs... Here's common sense for you: You shot high action, high camera shake in 24p( lol.but ok, most directors are sheep who follow the trends, nobody understands human eye and brain anatomy these days or even why 24p was introduced) then you put that on TV screens that have various lags. OLEDs TV cannot handle that at all so if it's a fail on any other type of screen, you just alienated a massive number of viewers because their TVs can't handle it. Who do you shoot for? You or the viewers. If it's viewers then why the heck do you not use common sense??!
4. Let me know if you want me to buy you a steady cam or teach you how to use it, if you've never heard of it.
** Bottom line: learn to use the mastery of camerawork, directing and staging to wow viewers in all aspects of the scene so that we can appreciate EVERY ASPECT of the staging. That requires the very simple understanding of current technology and what viewers want and it is NOT camera shakes. Human eyes and our vision don't shake when we move so why would YOU start shaking it for us?? Where's common sense?!?
=================
PS. OLED, Qled and mini-led tvs were used to watch. Barely watchable on qled and mini and unwatchable on LG C3 OLED, even with adjustments to add fake frames. It's that bad!
