Dutch term or phrase: hectische beeldvoering
This is a short summary of the plot of a film and the director's intentions.

Daar waar mijn kortfilms altijd gepaard gingen met een zekere chaos en **hectische beeldvoering** wil ik hier meer de tijd nemen om de personages en het beeld als het ware te laten ademen, om dan genadeloos toe te slaan in de derde act waar ik erg dicht op de huid ga zitten van onze protagonisten.

Would this be "frenetic camera work" or is there a more technical term? I'm thinking of how dizzy you can sometimes get the way the camera swings around these days. vD: "beeldvoering: wijze waarop een scène of optreden filmisch in beeld wordt gebracht".

hard cut/hectic direction of photography


Explanation:
in het jargon wordt dit zo aangeduid bij een film die geen vloeiende overgangen heeft. Eigenlijk wordt dit pas in de post-production gedaan bij de monatge (editing). Kan uit de tekst niet geheel opmaken of hij dat alleen met de camera wil bereiken of dat hij het later zo gaat knippen.

De persoon die over de beeldvoering gaat is: the director of photography, bij NL-produkties vaak gewoon: "camera(man)"
