Robert Altman

Robert Altman really knows how to make his audience uncomfortable enough to make them not want to watch, but just that intrigued to keep watching. Throughout The Long Goodbye and The Player, the camera is constantly moving. At the party in The Long Goodbye the camera sort of tracks along the outskirts of everyones' conversations and does little zoom-ins on faces of people who are talking. You get this eerie sort of feeling like you're totally being a creeper walking around in someone else's house. In The Player the same camera movements are used in some of the meetings Griffin has at restaurants. Those camera movements help the audience either turn the movie off, or feed the flames of them really wanting to participate in the film.
Altman also uses his script- or lack there of, to help the audience go the one of two ways. All the characters talk normally; overlapping, not listening, cutting people off, and mumbling. There aren't really any super scripted perfectly acted out conversations, which adds to the affect of the constant moving cameras. I personally really liked this because it made me feel like I was just watching some events take place, instead of watching a show being put on for me. His style is very refreshing.
