Dev actually said he purposely did shaky cam at the beginning of his character’s revenge arc because his fighting skills were not fully developed. Then later in the movie his character gains more strength and confidence in his fighting abilities the camera moves more eloquently with the action. Even some “shaky cam” moments showing pov shots of characters getting beat up or running through people were used strategically well to show the grimy dirty uncomfortable anxiety-driven moments of the character. Dammit I LOVED this fucking movie!

@kameron3136 Ай бұрын

This is exactly what I was thinking when I watched the movie! Glad it was picked up on and intentional. The scenes at the beginning felt anxious and the character was clearly not prepared for the fights he was in

@Tsar_Waddles Ай бұрын

Yup I thought it was the shaky camera work in the beginnning was a metaphor for the fear and lack of confidence in his abilities to enact his revenge. It was like you were participating in the action from Dev’s perspective. Then once he goes through his almost mythological transformation the camera work becomes sleek and smooth just like his fighting style. The movie is an analogy of the myth they foretold at the beginning of the movie. Also the closeups really depict the atmosphere of the slums quite well. Slums are meant to be dirty, stuffy and filled with chaos. Like you can’t even breathe. Though the movie’s cinematic choices aren’t the most comfortable for those watching it 100% had a purpose.

@zionmeier2531 Ай бұрын

i totally agree, i really thought the shaky cam added the film! like there is a scene where he gets hit by a car and then as he stands and run away the camera is VERY shaky, but like obviously that was meant to add to the disorientation that our main guy is feeling, and it definitely did that! i think when shaky cam is done purposely it can be really effective

I liked the shakey cam. He's an unfocussed fighter, injured and all over the place. It reminded me of Fight Club when the main character's mental state os falling apart.

The shakey cam was due to reflect the characters growth and getting accustomed to pain. Once he starts to train and get a better grasp of his combat abilities, you notice the shakiness less and less. That’s the story point and reason. The hardware reason was that they brought their own recording equipment to India that consisted of phones and GoPros and then got access to heavier rigs much later into production.

I think the shaky cam in the beginning was primarily due to budget. They didn’t have the time or budget to choreograph all lesser fight scenes in the beginning. At one point Dev said they were kicked out of an India due to covid and had to film on a separate island which def added to the time crunch. This also explains why for the important fights the choreography is so good, because that’s where they pointed their efforts

@ragingexodus Ай бұрын

Even the close up camera work we can say is an aesthetic thing but for at least the nightclub scenes, it was because they couldn’t afford the set. So they didn’t have things like table tops. So they would film only from the shoulders up to cover that

That director (Paul Greengrass) really is like the only director who actually knows how to use shaky cam IMO, he also directed the latter two Bourne films in the original trilogy and Captian Phillips and in all of those, shaky cam is used to basically make the viewer feel like they are almost a part of all of the action and to create a really immersive, documentary-like experience. Those movies show that shaky cam can actually be a really cool effect if done right, which unfortunately seems to be super rare.

Lots of people are explaining the shaky cam but very few are talking about the closeups I feel like I saw an interview where Dev Patel mentions the claustrophobia being deliberate, because that’s how the Mumbai-coded city feels. It’s important to establish that whether he’s in the ring, the kitchen, the penthouse, or even in VIP, everything feels claustrophobic, oppressive in a way where there isn’t enough air. It’s very clearly juxtaposed with 2 other locations that are no less filled with people: the temple of the Hijra and the jungle he grows up in. There are many people engaging with each other both in the city locations and in the temple/jungle but the latter ones are distinguished by the warmth and connection of people whereas the ones in the city are the proverbial crabs in a bucket

I noticed the switch from uncomfortable close ups/shake-y cam to the more classic fight scene camera as well - my theory is that this switch helps to show Kid’s (Dev Patel) state of mind throughout the film. At the start , even shots of his mom are super unclear, so close that you can’t really see her face. The fights are also filmed in a disorienting way, especially his first round against the police chief. But after he goes on his (metaphorical) trip and training montage, his purpose becomes clear and so does literal framing of everything he does after that .

After seeing the movie I have to say I disagree to an extent. I understand that the shaky cam isn't for you (not trying to say ur opinion is invalid because it is and multiple people feel the same as you) but it feels like the shaky cam in the start is a direct correlation to dev patels character being erratic and unpredictable, he's so enraptured by rage he doesn't care if his melee is unrestrained, whereas the camera work at the end shows that he's learned to control his movements and use his anger to guide his movements. Again your opinion is valid there could definitely be a way to do the camera work better, but for me I absolutely adores this film and I thought it was almost perfect

What it sounds like, production scheduling problems. I haven't seen the movie yet, but based on what you're saying, If the later fight scenes were well made and the beginning scenes were shaky, they were probably in a biiiiiig rush to shoot those first scenes, and dedicated more rehearsal time and shoot time for the last fight scenes. Making movies is really freakin hard, and the fact that Dev Patel wrote, directed, and starred in this film is INSANE. Hats off to him, I saw him in Wes Anderson's short films on Netflix and love his performance.

I agree with a lot of what Charlie is saying about the chaotic camerawork, especially in the first half of the film, but I feel like it was a deliberate stylistic choice. Without spoiling anything, the movie is basically split into two halves -- a before and an after, linked together by a training montage. In a way I feel like the shaky cam in the first half was before, and the more steady camera work was a good way of showing the character's progression after an incident that happens halfway through the film. It's an interesting movie and I really hope it does well at the box office because this is heat!

I haven’t seen the movie yet but I wonder if the choice to go from the shaky camera look to a more steady view by the end of the movie is a thematic choice that is in line with the narrative somehow. You’ll see some filmmakers sometimes use the camera to help illustrate different things the movie wants you to take away from it or understand.. even if subconsciously. Something somewhat similar to what I’m talking about is in the first animated Spider-Verse movie; Miles Morales is rendered in 12fps, much like the rest of the movie and many other animated movies - however, later in the movie when he fully taps into his abilities and is ready to face the ultimate challenge that lies ahead.. he is instead rendered at 16fps. It’s subtly done but this decision was made as a subtle, visual way to indicate that he understands his powers, their importance, and is ready and able to fully utilize them. He is indeed smoother with it at that point

I feel like the kingsman shaky cam was pretty good. It still made the action scenes feel less stiff while giving a slight sense of immersion in the scene. I haven't seen em in a while, so I may be mistaken. But, what I remember seems good.

@trevorgreene9951 Ай бұрын

Kingsmen used the shaky cam in such a way that felt like there was momentum and weight to movement as we follow harry commit serial murder. Normally every other shaky cam is used in a way that’s hella disorienting and can’t fucking tell what’s going on

Agreed shakey cam settles out by the end. It makes sense knowing the backstory of the film production being so chaotic. As i was watching it i took it as though the action in the beginning is dev being inexperienced and hopped up on adrenaline in that scene which contrasts to the cool confident dev later in the film

While I haven't seen the movie yet, but the boys in Bloodywood revealed it. The Doom like music with chuggs and screams you are talking about is actually the Indian Folk Metal band Bloddywood. They revealed on IG that their song Dana Dan is featured in the movie. It is a song from their debut and independent album Rakshak that released 2 years ago. All their songs come with a social message, with the whole song structured around it, and Dana Dan is about SA, especially how big of a problem it is in India. Those boys blew up with their debut and they are really good, would defo recommend checking them out if anyone is even remotely interested. They also did extensive touring around that time till last year, just wishing they do a show near to me that I can visit, coz they rip it.

The last 30 minutes (especially the elevator fight) smack Some of the editing towards the front half was little jarring though. I will say, I think the shaky cam followed by the good takes at the end are intentional (though that doesn't make it a good choice). I think the way the 30 minutes are shot highlight just how confident and in control he's become, while the shaky scenes show how out of his depth and rattled he is. Of course, it's still an eyesore

I absolutely loved the wild camerawork during the action scenes. It added so much character and personality to the film and it made the fights feel more brutal and disorienting.

@cruisesztamenits Ай бұрын

Just saw it. 100% my thoughts. I'm pretty sure the reason they switched up the shooting style at the end was to show the character's control over the fights after his 'training' to take on the villains. However, because it doesn't get to that until the last 30 mins, the shaky disoriented camera was too much. If it was shaky for the first 30 or 45 minutes and then switched up it would've been fine but too tight on the focal lengths for that level of shake for the first 90 minutes. Otherwise though I thoroughly enjoyed it and hats off to Dev for taking on so many roles in the production. I'm excited to see what he does next.

@theeddytor3490 Ай бұрын

2:04 i get why people have issue with shaky cam. but here is the thing, this guy broke his hand on first fight scene. halt entire production due to covid, had to waste 4-5 months in indian location that he had booked to shoot but doesn't get to shoot due to covid. he lost many of his crew, their demise did hold them back but more than that they were sad about losing them at first place, they had stunt crew of john wick before covid. dev had to find this indonesian stunt crew of just 4-5 people to work with in that limited budget. since he can't shoot in india, he had to put sets in indonesia and shoot. 255 people of crew was behind the operation at beginning but by the end there was only 40-60 people. man said he didn't had budget to even do small VFX shots so he entire relayed on practical effects. shakky cam happened because there weren't gimbals they were all hand held or camera attached to body. a camera can stablize some portion of it but that does loses some quality. he shot the rickshaw (3 wheeler cart) from an iphone. the budget was Tighter than my effing butthole man.... 😂 so i understand people who said they hate that camera shake but they just couldn't do anything about it but let it be the flaw.
