I'm thinking of how to storyboard scenes I want to and well, I try to think how modern movies do. To make the most professional impression of course. But then I realize that modern movies overdo everything. They have too many shots in a scene, and a lot of times, half the shots are not necessary. Some movies I saw this year they would cut to angles that bared no change in emotion, and almost felt like they did it just because they could.
Other movies will cut to a reaction shot, if they want to the audience to see a certain reaction, but we would have gotten a reaction, in the previous shot. No need to cut from a close up reaction from one angle, to see a close up reaction from another angle, when you still get the reaction just by viewing the first one clearly. That's just one example.
When I am trying to plan my camera movements I also don't have as many as modern movies. A lot of movies move the camera even when it does nothing for the emotion of the story. They do it just because they can it seems.
I want to learn to direct a professional movie, but storyboarding is tough cause I'm not sure if I should meet modern standards. I want to storyboard for emotion, but most modern movies have about 3 times the camera movement that is needed, and 5 times the cutting that is needed. So does the MTV generation demand it, or do filmmakers just think they do?
