guys. it's called Cinéma vérité and its a French style of documentary filmmaking where the camera operators "become invisible" to the characters in the story.

this has become popular with fictional movies as well.

it's alright.

the way it would just randomly jump back to documentary style, with the interviews apparently taking place after the action of the film was also bad

consistency in a product is usually good unless it's gravity where the effect of the one take wears off after 20 minutes and the action scenes lose their importance.

If something bad happens, they never yell at the camera man like "Help me! Can't you see I'm in trouble!". I never understood it, but if they're invisible, I guess it makes sense.


Chances are by the time this does happen in filming, they've already had the discussion of "we cant actually interfere with your life because it kills the credibility of the film"

Like if you're doing a doc about yosposters and they render on mac os keeps crashing becuase of some cuda or some graphics hardware issue you cant just let them use your HP workstation on your DIT cart to do their cuda operation successfully, you just have to sit back and watch them suffer and never tell them there is a better way to render video.
