Continuity upload

Now finished, we are able to upload our continuity task that we have been working on previously. We have used this to excersise our editing skills to prepare ourselves for our upcoming film. We improved the final product by using black and white which helps add to the seriousness and suspense of the feature. You can watch it below.


Evaluating the continuity, we have learnt a lot from this task that we will be able to take forward to use in our main film. For example, when looking at match on action, we learnt a lot about how to execute it properly since we had some problems when we first began editing it together. However after to practice on iMovie we began get to grips with editing it effectively. This will save us editing time in our real film. We also learnt about having to use the 180 degree rule effectively, since one of our early shots of Dan's sweaty face accidently broke the 180 degree rule. However, we were able to fix this by reversing the shot, making it seem on the right side of the 180 line.

What we learnt:
  • Based on the continuity task, use of shot - reverse - shot is effective at doing conversations in a scene
  • The 180 degree rule is incredibly difficult to keep consistant
  • Use of silence is incredibly effective at building suspense and giving the audience a jump when something loud happens.
  • There will be continuity errors if you don't have multiple cameras to film at the same time
  • Tyler is good at acting
