• How do you think Pikachu feels when Tim calls him ‘partner’?
• When the filmmakers use the establishing shot, where do we think this scene is taking place?
• The soundtrack during this scene is very gentle. Why do you think the filmmaker chose to use this?
• The filmmaker uses close ups of Tim , followed by close ups of Pikachu during Tim’s dialogue. Why do you think they do this?
• How do you think Tim feels when more of the Pokemon return to help Pikachu?
• As Tim and the Pokemon reach the stream, a crane camera movement is used. Can you spot it? (Hint: a crane camera movement is when the camera begins to move above ground level)
• The filmmaker uses more establishing shots as Tim and the Pokemon walk on. Why is this effective in telling the story?
• A low angle shot is used when Mewtwo arrives. Do you think this is effective considering how Mewtwo is moving in the scene?
• Towards the end of the clip, there is a dutch shot used to convey disorientation. Can you identify when it is used?
