Sharknado

If you were to watch one movie to describe and show what bad techniques of filmmaking are; sharknado would be perfect. Throughout the movie, you sit there and watch as the next terrible technique appears on the screen.

To start off  the characters names were; Fin, Baz, Nova, and George. It was like the director chose four random people off the street and made them act in a horrific movie together. Fin’s ex-wife, Tara and him have a daughter and son, who almost look the same age as Tara, if not older.

From the beginning scene on the boat, where the waves look like they are painted on the screen and the sharks are almost the same size of the boat, you start to wonder what you got yourself into. It gets better…

One day when everyone is enjoying a day at the beach, two major things happen. A mob of almost 20,000 sharks appear on shore and start to eat the surfers, and out of the blue, a hurricane takes over the town, and before you know it sharks are swimming on the streets.

As the story continues the sequence of events get weirder and weirder, but in the end the two main characters get eaten by a shark with a chainsaw in hand, but ultimately cut the shark and survive by climbing out of the stomach. Did not mean to spoil, but couldn’t help the fact that that happened.

 

Sharknado was one hour and thirty minutes of unending random events and terrible film techniques (voiceovers, green screen, sharks, etc.)

But then you raise the question, was this horrific filmmaking on purpose? To get attention and some laughs? That’s for you to answer.
