Olympic camera work
2
This morning I watched my first section of the 2021 Olympic women's gymnastics. The camera work is not up to par. The first thing I saw was the female gymnastics taking off their outer gear. The cameraman focused on their crotch area and bottoms. I watched for about 10 minutes and this focus was constant. If the camera wasn't focused on their crotch, then the camera was focused on their bodies from the chest up. For long periods of time. The camera work should have focused on the performance. I think the same situation has occurred in the past. All cameramen need to be sensitive and aware that it's not OK to sexualize women's bodies while they are performing an Olympic sport, or anytime for that matter. I feel bad for those young girls who are being treated this way. Whoever is in charge at NBC needs to fix the situation. It is very noticeable and not ok.
