Review of The Big Short (2015) by Half58 — 02 Jan 2016
The subject was interesting, the acting was (what I could watch of it) good. excellent way to introduce financial terms for the layman. The problem was the visual, this is the only reason why I gave it a 3.
quick cuts (flash frames), zooms without the camera being in focus of the actor, swish pans, all the rage now but made me feel nauseous. I had to close my eyes throughout most of it. I don't know why directors and producers think this is a good idea.
Years ago if a cameraman showed me a tape he or she shot that was shaky, out of focus with fast pans I would fire them on the spot. This is no way to present any visuals. It is a shame no one cares about quality anymore.
