What camera angles are used? Why?

A close-up is used to show enfaces when Billy beat Steve in the game Donkey Kong. A full body shot was taken to show Billy’s Posture and how he stands there proudl with his hands on his hips and legs spread out.

 

What kind of cut aways and POV shots?

When the main point behind the purpose of gaming was told, they showed the games in the point of view of the person talking about the simplicity and challenges of a video game.

 

How does the filmmaker get us involved?

The camera angle constantly switches every 4-5 seconds which keeps the attention of the viewer as our generation finds difficulty in watching one scene for longer than 5 seconds.

What did I like:
The way the teacher's voice was over the video scene was cool and really I don't think there was anything that was good about the video.










What did I not like:
There was a constant music in the background that was annoying and the cameraman kept figitting with the camera which made the audience want to not watch the video at all! The teacher was talking to us in a mono tone and didn't move much, just stayed in one place. In all, it just didn't catch  the attention of the audience.
