Real Continuity Task

This task was our actual Continuity Task. I think that we worked well together as a team. We did encounter some problems but overcame them at the last minute. That problem was finding a "boyfriend" for our love scene. We had an original person, James Hall, but he wasn't able to co-operate as he had other plans. However, we did manage to find a more reliable person and in which we made this piece, Lewis Yates- as seen on video. By having sorted our actors out we were able to undertake the filming process.

The camera work could have been better as some of the shots were a bit unstable. This was due to the faulty tripod we were using. However, most of the shots were stable, so this was an apparent acheivment as we learnt how to adapt to our equipment. I think that some of the shots were really effective,such as the This made the whole thing appear more realistic.

The editing was reasonable as I beleive that it helped the whole piece flow, therefore creating continuity. However, it could have been cleaner as i thnk that some of the shots were a bit too long.

The sound wasn't too bad in this case, most of it seem to work in synch with the acting. However, there were some blank points at the end of some scenes such as the slap and the closing of the door. This was due to the excessive noise before the scenes. I took on the responsibilty of constructing the sound. It would be beneficial in future times to record a bit longer so that all of the sound can be recorded.

The location for this matter wasn't actually ideal, but it worked in the end.

The acting was perfect. We wouldn't have done it any other way. However there were some flaws in the acting, such as 0.42, when Emily smiles. This wasn't beneficial towards our piece as it lost the realism of the text.

Overall, I'm quite happy with our continuity piece. We received a low level 2 this was because of our framing, editing and camera shots. These aspects will be the most important aspects in our thriller. They will require careful consideration and determined practice to perfect them in order to acheive a higher level.
