Practice Continuity Task

In this task we were asked to construct a concept that would involve using shot reverse shot.

In my opinion, the acting was very good, however, seeing as i personally do not prefer to undertake the major role of acting i decided to undertake the role of being the camera man. I found it particularly enjoyable. I do believe that that the panning could have been smoother, but this was primarily due to the fact that the camera and tripod were in a tight place and that i had to step over one of the tripod legs which would explain the delay in the paining. From this i have learnt that i will need to have more space when filming our next task.

We also had to demonstrate our ability to use the 180º rule effectively. In this piece i don't think that we broke that rule. Even though we did not manage to complete the shot list provided, we manage to understand the idea that was meant to be put across. We managed to work well together. We practiced each shot and then took the real take.

The editing and sound were well constructed even though there were only 2 lines. We did have problems with making sure that the whole piece was coherent. Therefore we edited it carefully and then we learnt how to edit the sound which lead to a greater progress in our first filming task.
