''Shaky Cam''

When filming we chose to use the effect of a hand held camera, which we have used to show a certain characters point of view, so that the audience can really grasp the atmosphere, this effect is sometimes used in professional thrillers, but not very often, we have decided to use this in our thriller as it may challenge the 'typical convention of thrillers'where mostly still cameras are used. It also allows us to show that our product is a little different from others making it unique and more interesting as its something ''new''.

When researching about the effect of using a ''shaky camera'' we found that it can suggest unprepared, unrehearsed filming of reality, and can provide a sense of dynamics, immersion, instability or nervousness. However too much shaky camera motion can make the viewer feel dizzy or sick.
