Throw It In!, Leave the Camera Running
Edited by WarJay77 Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Is there a trope for when a scene starts and it's obvious the actor doesn't realize the camera's running as they will wait for several seconds before they start talking or doing whatever it is they are supposed to do. Typically only happens in really bad films for obvious reasons (I think Manos: The Hands of Fate has it a couple times.)
