Why do the scenes of some movies sway? Is it intentional?

Shaking the lens is a kind of photography, which is obviously intentional.

Photographers use hand-held cameras and video cameras instead of tripods. This is the main grip method in news photography. Shooting movies, in order to express the style of documentaries, is also often used.

The earliest hand-held photographer, JamesWongHowe, was a Chinese-American in the 1940s. He used a hand-held camera to photograph swimming and boxing in the water. Because of the changeable angle, his movements are very flexible. At that time, the film industry had some influence.

Movies will have a certain emotional impact on the audience, but hand-held photography will cause the audience's physiological reaction. I just don't feel well From this point of view, some directors really hope to realize the expression of the film through the physiological reaction produced by hand-held photography.

Hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder shooting has gradually become popular in the new wave movement of French movies. Italian neo-realism puts forward that movies need to take to the streets to record the real life of the general public. Judging from the aesthetic pursuit of the later new wave movement, the pursuit of the "new wave" is to be close to life and go deep into reality. This kind of camera used to shoot documentaries was brought to the life scene at that time by the directors.

Later, under the influence of European and American films such as Rosetta and City of God, hand-held photography once became the mainstream photography method for art films, and was also adopted by many Hollywood blockbusters, such as Black Hawk Down and hurt locker.

The discussion of hand-held photography in film history is polarized. Some people think that hand-held photography is stylized, and only hand-held photography can make art films; Some people think that hand-held photography should be used with caution, because hand-held photography is difficult to control and is not conducive to watching movies, resulting in limited aesthetic feeling of movies.

In fact, personally, it is just a form of expression. The original intention of the film is to express the feelings that the director wants to express to the audience through a story. What kind of use a director is, it is more based on a kind of preference and different opinions, which can be well-founded in any way. Talking about movies is more about discussing stories, which is much more important than entangled in some photography methods. The emotion or value orientation expressed in movies is superior to everything!
