Continuity Editing - Kahoot Battle


What is the effect the camera movements have on the viewer?
Camera movements allow the viewer to change their emotion as the film progresses, scenes change, and the plot thickens. For example, a pan can lead the audience to have a change in emotion. A canted shot can cause a shock to the audience as the camera moves or is angled sharply. 

How do filmmakers use camera angles to enhance their work?
Filmmakers use camera angles to display an emotion of a specific scene. Going along with camera movements, the camera angles create an overall atmosphere or mood. With the help of principles of design, it is easy to create a conflicted emotion from a canted angle (diagonal lines). 

Successes & recommendations.
Be sure to have an organized storyboard so it is easier to follow and film the elements. You do not necessarily have to shoot them in order, especially when you never know when another group member will be absent or the site you want to film is occupied. Next, wear generic clothing items when filming with a storyline that consists of only one day. If the character ends up wearing different clothing for the sequence, find a way to adapt in the editing process. For example, I made our sequence as if it was the next day: that the plot continues the day after. Have fun and make sure you and your group is communicating together and everyone has a clear understanding of what is to be done.
