1) What is the story arc in one sentence?
There was a competition to see who could get the highest score in an arcade game called donkey kong, and it was mostly between Brian and Steve.2) What camera angles are used? Why? Mostly there were wide shots to show the surrounding environment of the players with the single machine that they all were watching. There were also mid-shots because there were a lot of interview type scenes that asked the players about their opinions on other players, the game, or the way they score in the records.3) What kind of cutaways and POV shots? The only POV shots i remember were whenever people would be watching over the shoulder of Steve to see him play Donkey Kong and see his techniques. The cutaways were just showing various games that were in the arcade while someone was talking or being interviewed.4) How does the filmmaker get us involved? The filmmaker gets us anxious to see whether or not Bill Mitchell's score could be beat by Steve who was practicing constantly every day to beat his score. He creates feelings for us whenever the movie shows disappointment in Steve's face every time he would lose. It also makes us watch the entire movie because in the end it shows that Steve finally beat Bill in the game.
