"...this style is really insulting to audiences...it's as if they need this kind of "jazzy", rapid-fire, in your face stuff to keep their interest when it really gets in the way because the guy is so eager to keep the energy flowing that he jumps from point to point cutting people off just when they're reaching the end of the point they were trying to make....people are interested in Norman, not the stylistic jumpings of the moderator." -- This style became "hip" in early 1990s when the first Quentin Tarantino film, "Reservoir Dogs" was released, and MTV jumped on the wagon in incorporating the "staccato" and "jump-cut" styles that Jean-Luc Godard used in his 1959 film, "Breathless". Since then, films and music videos, adverts and TV shows, and of course, news programs have been using this style. But for the style to work, the action has to be as quick and "jumpy" as the camera style. So, serious political programs started to resemble MTV, in the way they are set up and shot, using various cameras and camera angles; whereas the old BBC programs, for instance, had one steady stationary camera filming two guys engaged in an interview or debate, where each individual is seen and heard clearly, given the proper time for him/her to finish a thought, without feeling nervous, rushed and having to explain three different questions which have nothing to do with one another in the disguise of "Gotchas!" Tariq Ali has a weekly show on TeleSur called the World Today, and at first they tried to appeal to a young, hipster viewership by using three or four different cameras... but Tariq, himself a filmmaker, said "fuck that!" and they switched to the older one camera standard like of those old BBC 1970s programs. There's also another reason for this: a short attention span, something that is as real as smog in L.A., among newer generations. --------------------- |
