Using a handheld camera with no damping and a lot of movement. Imagine trying to take a clear photo while running up a flight of stairs; you might get the subject in the frame, but it is not going to be perfectly centered or balanced against the rest of the background. It deliberately throws off the expectation of the meticulously directed scene with perfectly proportioned shots. This technique imparts immediacy to the sequence, because it forces the viewer to pay closer attention to catch on to what is happening. It was originally a documentary technique, eventually becoming more common in TV episodes. Often an integral part, if not a nigh-mandatory side effect, of In-Universe Camera and P.O.V. Cam. Often used in conjunction with fast cutting (especially during fight scenes) as a method to convey energy, like saying "Things are so crazy the camera can't keep up!" It is sometimes used in slower, more emotional scenes as well, to heighten the dramatic effect. Combines frequent use of the Whip Pan and the Repeat Cut. The antonym of SteadiCam. Sometimes referred to as "Shaky Cam" but that was coined by Sam Raimi in the use of the closely related trope Shaky P.O.V. Cam (using a POV shot of something moving, which would generally employ the use of the Jitter Cam). Its popularity has increased recently, often overlapping with the style of the Faux Documentary and Mockumentary. (Pick any recent action film.) It can show up in non-live action works as well, see False Camera Effects. Of course, jitter cam has also managed to gather a large Hatedom from people who feel that it's overdone and used to cover up badly choreographed action scenes. Like many things, it isn't inherently a bad thing to use but when used in excess (either too shaky or in too many scenes) many people will describe it as "headache" or "nausea" inducing, especially when viewed on a large movie screen or in 3-D, or remark that it becomes impossible to tell what's actually going on. Contrast Screen Shake. See also Camera Abuse, Shaky P.O.V. Cam, Dizzy Cam. |

The Autobiography of Jane Eyre: Most of Episode 3 is shot in this style. Jane had lost her mobile and was freaking out because she thought she was stranded late at night in the middle of nowhere. She was walking and running, shooting an authentic entry for her fresh vlog. | |

The Hunger Games uses this throughout, primarily to prevent the violence from entering R-rated territory, and to heighten the emotional effect of certain scenes. There's also plenty of jitter cam used during the quiet talking scenes, to give the movie a "gritty" feel. Thanks to a new director, the sequel uses it with a lighter hand. | |

Diary of the Dead mostly (and thankfully) averts this, and tends to only suffer it during zombie attacks and for one segment filmed on a camcorder when their main camera's battery dies. We see at this point that, as film students, their main camera features a steady cam device. | |

First Man surely cost tens of millions of dollars to make, but none of that money seems to have been spent on a tripod or decent SteadiCam rig: from beginning to end, the framing wanders around a little where one might expect it to hold steady. | |

In the final fight scene in the first episode of the anime Samurai Champloo, the camera not only jitters, but also loses focus at one point. The effect shows up in a few other episodes as well, always in a fight scene. Looks cool, although drawing attention to the camera raises the question of what a cameraman was doing in Edo Japan. Or a cartoon. And given the whole premise of the anime, probably deliberately. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the pilot episode's Action Prologue, this is used to show the panic and confusion of the crew of a starship as they Abandon Ship in a crammed Escape Pod, leading to a Mood Whiplash effect when the pod shoots free of the damaged spaceship and the camera is abruptly still. | |

Black Snow (Half-Life 2)'s intro features this somewhat heavily - you are technically viewing a recording of your character's headcam as he's running away from the Eldritch Abomination that ate his teammates - but then stabilizes after you take control of the character proper - until you're assaulted by the monster itself. | |

Lost, particularly in the pilot, when the illusion of running through the jungle was created with actors running in place and filmed by a very shaky camera. However, the camera became less jittery as the series went on; later, this only came up when it made the most sense, such as action scenes. | |

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles uses this; although it results in a more cinematic presentation than the game's predecessor, The Umbrella Chronicles (which does not feature a shaky cam), it also makes it much more difficult to hit enemies in critical areas, and accuracy is one of the criteria upon which the player is rated. | |

Some 75% of Les Misérables (2012), especially during the "Building a Barricade" scenes to heighten the chaotic feel (which is justified, because the actors were actually building a barricade in those scenes, and so the panic and chaos you see are very very real). | |

Used in the Transformers Film Series, which is generally a staple of Michael Bay. The first film had the camera mostly at ground level, showing how big the robots are and how chaotic it would be. Later movies tone it down somewhat, as more emphasis was put on robot vs. robot rather than the military vs. the bad robots. | |

This effect dates at least as far back as 1945 and documentary film The Battle of San Pietro, in which the combat scenes were filmed with handheld newsreel cameras, producing a Jitter Cam whenever a shell exploded or whenever the cameramen followed the attacking American soldiers. The battle scenes were recreations, but the Jitter Cam effect helps make them look so realistic that for decades afterwards people thought that the cameramen had actually gone into battle with the soldiers. | |

Chernobyl: Not so much Jitter Cam as Insufficiently Steady Cam: the camera has a tendency to drift around a little bit when one might expect it to be fixed. One particularly notable example comes when Legasov and Khomyuk are having a conversation in a police cell. The cell wall is painted white above and green below, and the dividing line keeps on drifting in and out of the top of the frame. | |

The Wild Bunch is arguably the Trope Codifier - see the bank shootout scene and the final massacre scene, both of which use documentary-style shaky cam to give a sense of chaos and terror. | |

The other codifier in the modern era of movies is The Blair Witch Project, due to being a Found Footage Film - the characters aren't professional cinematographers, and their distress makes the camera even more unstable. However, its usage of this trope (especially in the finale) was so extreme that it inflicted motion sickness upon some viewers of the film, even leading them to vomiting. | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): The use was actually called for by writer/producer Ronald D. Moore, in his manifesto on "naturalistic science-fiction". The idea was that while in conventional filmmaking, it is important never to draw attention to the camera in order to avoid breaking Suspension of Disbelief, CGI special effects shots tend to fall into a sort of Unintentional Uncanny Valley effect. The CGI shots in Battlestar Galactica were therefore shot using only camera placements and techniques that theoretically could have been used if the show were, in fact a documentary. It's not just the space scenes, either — even in dialog, the camera jiggles, although there isn't idiosyncratic zooming. | |

Two reviews by Decker Shado regarding Found Footage Films (specifically, Tape 407 and The Blair Witch Project) make casual mention of how he considers this kind of filming style a pet peeve, mostly because even if the film has a good production quality otherwise for its genre (which he considers The Blair Witch Project to have), the impact is completely lost if you are easily afflicted with motion sickness. | |

Mocked in South Park when South Park is attacked by guinea pigs. Even when just walking around normally, Randy Marsch breathes heavily and shakes his camera around manically, going from his wife's face to his shoes and making a big show for dramatic effect until his wife tells him to knock it off. | |

Happens when the player sprints in Gears of War, despite the game being third-person. Word of God says that this masks the fact that running isn't really much faster than normal speed. Third Person Shooters, First Person Shooters and other genres use this trope during sprinting. |

Breaking Bad was filmed primarily with handheld cameras. Better Call Saul primarily films with steadicams, though as the continuity gets closer to Breaking Bad, handheld cameras begin to be used with stronger frequency. This is best seen in season 5. |
