Continuity Task

We were set a task, to practice for our Main Task. We were asked to use this template:
Person A walks to door, opens it, passes through, crosses room, sits down, talks to someone.
Use:
- Match on Action
- 180 Degree Rule
- Reverse Shot

Extra things to add (Adoption/Extention:
- Person walks alone
- Footsteps
- Door Bangs
- Scream
- Ambiant Lighting
- Extreme Angles
- Reverse Tracking
- Tilt
- More than 3 locations
- Enigma
- More than 2 people
- Implied Fear

Evalutation of Task:

Positive:
- Good practice
- Fun
- Helped understand concept of shots
- Good experience, communication, organisation, negotiation
- Enabled you to experience and understand standards/quality/process
- More aware of own skills/strengths
- Time management experience/camera and software

Negative:
- Unwanted Extras
- Interference with loaction or props
- Background (diegetic noise)
- Too simplistic storyline
- Disappointment
- Poor planning
- Concepts outstripped
- Technology/software
- Forgot about continuity, 180 degree rule, reverse shot, match on action
- Translating concept to action

Things we will try and improve next time:

- Background (diegetic noise); we plan to cut out any sound that appears, or film when no people are about that we don't want in our film.

- Before filming straight away this time, we are going to spend a lot more time planning our project.
