Continuity Editing Exercise




For this exercise the scenario I was asked to do was basically this:
A chaacer opens a door, crosses a room and sits down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/she the exchanges a couple of ines of dialogue. The aim was to show knowedge and understanding of match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. I tried to use these shots and I think that I achieved what I wanted to do. Match on action is a process of cutting a sequence of the same action together to ake it seem like there were no cuts in between it. Shot/Reverse shot, also known as a motivated shot, is a cut used to show the viewer something not immediatly visible.The 180-degree rule is this:








I worked with Hardeep Panesar and Tara Mann. Tara joined our group the day we started filming, but once we explained to her she knew what she was doing. Me and Hardeep worked together on the storyboard. I done the first half and she done the second half. When we started filming we all filmed different parts and Tara and Hardeep stared in the filming. Working together with these people worked really well, as we got along and didn't have any disagreements. 
When starting the idea, we had a few basic ideas. We chose this one as we knew we would be able to use different camera shots and thought it would have a good effect. This was good for us as it allowed us to use our imagination and do what we wanted. This showed our skills and I think that was the best part of the exercise as we were able to work freely, and had a good outcome. 
We stuck to everything on our storyboard. However in mine, I added in a clock. This was to show the time had moved so that the shot after made sense. I was very pleased with my outcome as I think it flowed really well, and considering we done it all in just over a week, I was quite proud of me and my group.
