Twenty shots to be henceforth retired from film vocabulary
This list seems to cover most of the leading offenders, including:
4. Overhead shot of protagonist in the rain, arms spread, just letting the downpour COME.
10. Dude goes to open a safe or a refrigerator or whatever and PRESTO the camera’s shooting out from inside the safe or refrigerator or whatever. That’s some bush league My First Creative Camerawork shit.
The famous overhead shot in the rain from Shawshank Redemption ruined the movie for me.
