Accident (2017)
A great movie with a lot of cool camera solutions
This is a great movie. I have to say first, that I am not some paid rewiver, or friend of the filmmakers. Watch this movie, it'll worth it.
You can tell by the first few minutes, that this movie was cared for, that the makers were passionate about it. They tried different ways to make it even more interesting, and enjoyable. I'll make a list:
1. Long scenes, without cutting. I am always amazed by this technique, and this requires more work, than cutting scenes together. The first scene of the movie is already made this way, so when I saw this, I knew right away, that this would be special.
2. The title. Not much, right? In most films, they just put the names on the screen in white, and then write out the title. In the 'Accident' they made this cool too. Okay, not Deadpool cool, but the effort shows.
3. Camera movement. Pair it with the long scenes, this is an awsome combo. It moves (flows) up, down, slow motion, inside the car, through the glass etc. There is one scene, where the accident happens, and the driver hits the breaks, and it is so cool, when the camera goes inside the car, and shows, how the break hits the tires.
4. Production design: I don't know the budget of this movie, I am guessing not much, but it rarely shows. It looks well made, great, sharp picture quality, nothing sticks out, you can see clearly everything. And I say again, it is well made.
5. Action: bunch of people stuck in an upside down car. What action? I'll tell you, there will be some suprises, a lot of action movie would be envy of the Accident.
Of course, it is not a perfect movie, you can say bad things about the acting, or why the characters are stupid, or why the script goes that, or this way... But this Dan Tondowski's first movie, and as a first movie, it is frickin' well made.
