Continuity Excercise

Using a tripod and a budget camera, we moved into a corridor and filmed an establish shot of our group member, Karl, standing against the wall. He received a phone call and then left to meet the other character, Tom. we used a range of shots, close up's, angles and locations filming him walking to the room.

KarlWhen he enters the room we use over the shoulder shots and match on  action shots to exercise not only continuity but our camera skills as well.

and Tom exchange a few lines, then they fist pump as the film fades out.

We edited using 'imovie' and edited it fairly easy, other than putting the sequence together and carrying out the continuity briefs we only added some original music for the ringtone when he receives the call. Overall the sequence lasted around 50 seconds.

We used a large variety of locations and camera shots in our film which will certainly come in useful when we our shooting our opening sequence to our film. We have learnt a lot about continuity, camera shots and editing which will help us in our opening sequence.
