I findSwamp People’s camera angles for building up anticipation right before the hunters catch a gator odd.

The way the camera builds suspensejust before the hunters shoot an alligatoroften feels chaotic rather than riveting.

Producers manage to stick with this format largely because their core audience consists of boomersaccustomed to traditional TV.

According to him,the producers heavily manipulate the reality of gator huntingto fit a more TV-friendly mold.

He stated bluntly that it doesnt take five minutes to shoot a gator unless its exceptionally large or aggressive.

This Reddit user also noted that familial relationships are frequently emphasized or even contrived for the cameras.

The shows portrayal of a tight-knit father-and-sons team thus rings hollow.
