I've posted about this before, let me reiterate...
I agree and disagree with BLFFL.
I disagree because it WAS suppose to be like that. It's an effect. The idea behind this effect is suppose to scare and/or excite you. It makes you feel like you're watching some secret video that you're not suppose to be seeing. A lot of the time, this effect is used to try and scare you. The Paranormal Activity movies use said effect as well.
However, I also agree with BLFFL because of what I said earlier:
And some didn't really get what I meant by that. Like I said, I personally love that "shitty connection" effect, but what I meant when I said it was not edited well was because they re-used footage transitioning between what was said between The Shield members, you're not suppose to do that. If you watch it again, you will notice that they re-used footage of when the camera was pointing at the ceiling from the very beginning of the video. That's makes no sense. You're suppose to be consistent with your footage unless you really want to emphasize that part of the video, like say, having Reigns saying "we shield the WWE from injustice" over and over again as if it was a broken record player. That's why it just didn't look right to me. If you want to see how the effect is properly used, go to this video and start from 0:40. You can have a better understanding of what I mean about not re-using footage unless you want to emphasize something.
But as from what I've seen, no one really sees how it's visually confusing and wrong, so I'm just going to shut up about it now, lol.

Lady Deathbane said:...that "low-quality vlog/shitty connection" effect was not edited well at all. ... Whoever edited it might have had any experience with that effect. Sorry, it's just that I had media class before and one of the skills we learned was film and a lot of the edits in this video did not make sense at all.
