The first time I did ecstasy, this happened to me as I tried to use an exit at my job. I never know how to describe it so I used to call it a fish lens effect but now I know what it is...
@GadgetVision no, I'm serious. The closer I walked to the door the more it looked like to me I was pulling away from it. I think my eyes were mis-focusing. It kept getting brighter too. It was like looking through a dslr camera.
This shot is incredibly difficult to pull off correctly. The actual smoothness of the shot is not simply about a camera operator's skill but rather in the precision of following the mathematical equation for this shot. To be perfectly smooth, distance = width / 2tan (FOV / 2).
This is the first shot in the film of them in central Paris and out of their environment, it is supposed to be unsteady to achieve the effect of disorientation. This is reinforced by the fact that the audio is changed from stereo to mono at this point in the film to 'switch-it-up' and make the audience feel more unease (for lack of a better word) to better sympathise with the characters.
I studied the shit out of La Haine, it's fucking awesome.
great example of this techniques "off-putting" effect. Would have looked a bit better with a steadier hand and zoom. oh. and that guy walking back and forth totally took away from the effect. lame.
This is the vertigo effect, far easier to do with a good zoom and a dolly than with a green screen.
I just saw this movie yesterday and noticed this take too. It was a bit out of context, not sure what they tried to show with this other than a cool take.
@juanitomp In fact, it's not just a cool effect. Sure it is, and it shows the talent of a young director at this time, but more important it the frame that want to grow, but it can't. You'll notice that barely all the film contain close frame and the image is very restrained.
@juanitomp Oh wll, I didn't that of you, just explaining :P. Although, I think the samething of you, Kassovitz over use that kind of effects, it's a fact that he is searching himself.
This was not done by green screen. La Haine was filmed on location in the Paris Bayeux.
This shot would've been EXTREMELY difficult to pull off. Not only do you have two movements to worry about (tracks and then zoom) but you need to keep focus during both. It would've taken a really good focus puller and many, many takes to get this. You can see that it goes soft a bit towards the end anyway, but still - great shot.
lol green screen -- it would be a lot smoother if it was, that's for sure!!
Track the camera back and zoom-in using the lens! This is done manually both the zoom-in and follow focus. Not easy! All about lens choice and knowing what certain lenses do! There is knowledge and theory to this art as well as creativity! Which a lot of people totally forget!
I agree. I'm half decided if it is or isn't green screen, but does look like a really bad greenscreen attempt, but if it was not done digitally then it's a TERREFIC shot!
I think it's all three. It is a dolly zoom against a green screen. The background pixelates too much, and if you watch closely the forground characters will just faster then the background.
No, not green screen. Reverse tracking (dolly zoom). Probably the most extreme one I've seen in a film. Done by pulling the camera back and zooming in simultaneously.
hahahaha lol! this trick is difficult to do, but the effect is not very good for filming

@madococo I liked the movie, although my French is not good enough to understand it all. Vincent Cassel is great.
I still believe that some of the effects are over used in this film.
The vertigo effect is nice if you want to set the viewer in some specific mood. Here I don't think it worked very well.
The movie was well filmed and well acted. So I don't complain about it :-)

no greenscreen. zooming in makes the depth of field more narrow, so the background got blurred.
