Creating Motivation

Shot motivation is essential when it comes to producing a film or a television program as it the only thing that keeps the target audience interested into whatever you’re sharing. Shot motivation is when a shot motivates another. In order to successfully edit a film the editor should always look for the motivation in between cuts and audio effects as it would determine how the audience will react and would want to react. At the point when action in one shot can infer another sort of action in a subsequent shot or call for it or demand it. While a unit of action demands some kind of responsive action from a subsequent shot, we feel/sense a provocative constrain driving the narrative forward.

Filmmakers tend to agree on the point that each shot, whether static or moving, should be motivated. Most filmmakers and editors would commit themselves further. David Mamet an American playwright, essayist, screenwriter, and film director hold much store to ensure that each shot drives the action-and the wider narrative forward-with the action in each successive shot motivating the ensuing shot. Filmmakers like David look at shot motivation as a key mechanism for keeping the audience engaged in what is going on.

Cutting starting with one scene then onto the next or from with one character then onto the next will convince how the audience will feel. Every cut will motivate their feelings and make them respond positively or negatively to the scene. For instance, the following clip from the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows section 2 indicates characters all focusing on Harry Potter which persuades the audience to feel terrified and on edge for the safety of Harry Potter.
