Continuity task 2 Evaluation

1. What was your role in the task and what did you actually do?
I acted in almost all shots and helped prepare the script.

2. As a group, what factors did you take into account when planning(a), filming(b) and editing(c)?
a) When planning we created a storyboard and a script in order to explain our ideas and form an image that everyone in the group understood. This was done in the room of the videos setting, allowing us to see and plan our angles and proportions correctly.

b) When filming we considered how to properly position our shots. We involved  a face to face conversations, and therefore had to abide by the 180 degree line. Also we filmed the conversation completely multiple times without cutting and starting for every line, in order to maintain consistency in the video.

c) When editing, we had to consider when to cut the conversation and position the two halves of the conversation together. We also had to consider continuity in actions between shots, for example, cutting the opening door to look continuous, another was timing Simon's walk into the shot.

3. How successful was your sequence? Did you fulfill the demands of the brief? Did you manage to demonstrate match-on-action, shot-reverse-shot, and 180-degree rule? Did you achieve continuity overall?(WWW/EBI)

Our sequence was successful as we fulfilled the demands of the brief. We successfully demonstrated match-on-action for the moving door and Simon's walk. We also demonstrated the 180-degree rule for the conversation between Cathy and I. Therefore, we achieved overall continuity. 

4. What have you learnt from completing this task? How might this learning impact on future video production work?


I've learnt how to implement and follow the various rules in order to achieve continuity. Unlike our previous media video work, we made a continuous video this time rather than a cutting trailer. This will help me achieve continuity in any future video production work that looks at a continuous scene.
