Shaky Cam genre ? love it ? or no ?

i have to say, they're ok sometimes, when i was younger the blaire witch did freak me out a little ,yes the film that started the shaky cam genre and influenced all quarantine, Rec, cloverfield, diary of the dead

anyway......maybe i should watch the film again to fully comprehend some of it, i really never got why they suddenly dropped on the ground, the movie was quite creepy when i was younger probably because i was in maryland, the entire plot was just creepy and wrong, for a time i was afraid of going into woods in maryland because i thought the blaire witch was there and would make it so that no matter how far i walk in the woods, i would still come back to the same spot like in the film haha i dont think any of the other shaky cam films have provided me with that same effect, infact i think im gonna watch it right now !

I think...

"Bleh".

I don't mind it...the first time I saw Cloverfield I was flying to Europe, the shaky cam coupled with the turbulence of the flight made it very intense.peicher

I remember Doom had a scene in it that was shot in a specific way, but better since you were actually seeing through the eyes of the character and not a camera.

Hate it.

It's okay when a scene or two really works well with it, but when a whole movie is shot in the style...it just throws out the chance for lovely montages and shot composition right out the window.

This. If film is a visual medium, why try and make it hard for people to see what's happening?
