Tip #108: SHOOT A WALKAWAY ENDING. Charlie Chaplin invented—or at least popularized—walking away from the camera as a way of signifying that a movie story has ended. Typically, the action involved only one character, the protagonist. But as we see in the shot from “Escamol,” this narrative technique can involve a group of performers. While the method has often been used in comedies and dramas, it works equally well in other genres such as documentaries, music videos, and travelogues. “Escamol,” directed by Silvia Santoyo (@silviamx), won top prize in the animal category in the FiLMiC Pro competition. It was chosen as a Mobile Movie of the Week. You can see “Escalmol” and read an interview with the director at MobileMovieMaking (link in profile).
