First five minutes of Cloverfield. An original American monster movie that's taken place from a person's camera POV as he and his friends are escaping a HUGE monster attack in NYC. Can't wait to see this one.
Like Children of Men this movie is done with VERY long, VERY difficult pedestrian point of view camera shots. This means there are FEW stop points in the action. I love seeing really long track shots like this because I know they are incredibly hard to produce and require tremendous engineering and preperation. These shots IMMERSE you in the film rather than jerking you around omnisciently with different angles, cuts, and edits. From a technical standpoint this movie already blows me away.
so will we recognize the monster when we see it do you think, or is it going to be a new monster that they made up?
i haven't the foggiest. my guess is we won't recognize it. or it'll be some weird fusion of familiar monster elements.
weeeee
