The first post here talked about bad camera work. "The camera work and editing is atrocious, whip pans, clumsy reframing, subject looking out of frame, cutting to and from pans and zooms. Endless classic errors of picture composition." I don't think people pay enough attention to the physical effects that camera work has on the viewer.

All my life I have avoided TV and movies. I didn't realize why until one day (tipped off by a book) I sat through a movie and monitored my body. I found that I held my breath for long periods of time. Some camera work would make me feel seasick. I would be blasted by bursts of light in crazy sequence. Erratic loud noises alternated with mumbled speech. I looked at the clock every ten minutes, saying "How long, o Lord?"

We read about movies losing millions, and fewer people go to movies all the time. I am convinced that fewer peeople watch TV, as well. What kind of business plan says "We'll take people's money and make them seasick."
