Shaky Cam
You know how recently in movies there have been scenes where the camera seems to be shaking slightly (or a lot)? Not when there's an explosion but more so times when it could just be still. (And not how they were seemingly walking with the camera in Public Enemies, or whatever they did in Cloverfield (never saw it).)
It's a little annoying, don't you think? (And a lot annoying to my dad. I get him complaining every time after a movie.)
I'm watching the Star Trek extras, specifically the making of the film, and they are talking of how they tried really hard (and how J. J. Ambrams had a knack) to make the camera shake.
On the Star Trek note, I definitely noticed it when it was not needed.
I fear that this is something that is going to continue to be put into films until enough directors realize it's a bad idea and that keeping the camera still is fine.
