People who saw Cloverfield complained of nausea and a couple even need to love the porcelain goddess afterward.

For this reason, films are going back to basics and removing the editing from their production line. The resulting effect is footage that is raw and riveting. Industries, especially in entertainment, can keep consumers at the edge of their seats by implementing minimal production strategies.
