Dedicated videographer

The movie "Clover Field" tells the story of another monster attack in New York (hey, why did I say "again"?). And the movie uses a more special shooting effect, that is DV lens. By simulating this effect, the film tries to convince the audience that this more than an hour-long exciting story was recorded through a DV in the hands of a New York youth named Harder. I feel basically pretty successful. The constantly shaking picture, the changing focal length, and some special shooting effects can indeed create an immersive feeling for people. And the movie can do this, I think I have to owe it to the DV photographer in the movie - Harder, he is really a dedicated and professional videographer!
If I were in the same situation, I would have been so frightened that my limbs were shaking and I was at a loss. Not to mention shooting, it would be good to know where to run. And our brave Hader, our dedicated videographer, stepped forward and did his best job as a videographer, whether it was wrapped in a panicked crowd or in a hail of bullets between the army and monsters, Whether it is climbing up and down the dozens of stories high and crumbling skyscrapers, or in the line of life and death when he encounters a monster and sacrifices his life, he always focuses on the most exciting, exciting, and most exciting The key and most "attractive" scenes and pictures can almost be said to be comprehensive, calm, accurate and clear for us to show us their experiences. His dedication and professionalism didn't stop there, even when the girl he liked was seriously injured by a monster trying to save him, Hader first thought that it was still cleaning the camera, and when we found out how badly injured the girl was, we were dedicated The cameraman still sticks to the DV camera, sits calmly next to the girl, and faithfully records the girl's bruises and bruises with the camera lens and how the girl endured the pain.
Can't these deeds show how good a cameraman our Had is? At least I have been deeply moved by his professionalism and professionalism. I really think the next Oscar for Best Cinematography should go to Hader in the film.
Reality often requires the accumulation of details, and imitation cannot be imitated. The film wants to convey an immersive sense of reality to the audience through the DV shooting technique. Although the director and the actors have tried their best, what is the result? It's still full of loopholes, which is what I mean by reality, it can't be imitated. The more deliberate it is, the more flawed it is.
Although the realistic imitation of the film is not perfect, it does not affect my appreciation of it. Maybe it's because the film is short and concise. It's a bit of a cliché story, and the tension is quite successful. If you're not afraid of dizziness and watch it step by step, the movie is still very attractive. The film shooting method can not be regarded as the first, but it is rare, and it is a bit fresh.
It is said that there will be a sequel to the film. I think the most important thing for such a film featuring DV shooting effects is the interesting and attractive suspense. Such a big scene in this film may not be necessary. Suspense should be the lifeblood of this kind of movie.
It is said that the famous "Blair Witch" was also shot with a camcorder like this film, but I haven't seen "Blair Witch", so I can't compare. Then there are the monsters in this film that are really ugly, and there is really no Godzilla handsome. It's hard to be a monster star, I'm afraid.
Finally, I have a question, the English name of the movie is "Cloverfield", why is there a Chinese translation called "Cloverfield"? Alfalfa seems to be a plant, right? Does it have anything to do with this film?
