Continuity Task : Editing

Today we started editing the clips that we shot. We uploaded the clips on to the media server, and from there we opened them with adobe premier. We started by cutting the shots so that they flow better. We also cut them to alter the length of them as some of them were too long. we also added a music clip to make the clip sound better. we also had to change the sound level on some of the clips as the dialogue in the clip was too quiet, this made it easier to hear. we also added titles to introduce the video. We learned how to adjust the brightness of the clip as some of the shots were too dark.

Continuity Task: Shooting

On the first day we started shooting. On the first day shooting we were shooting a cafe scene. On this day we didnt have many problems shooting.
After we had shooted the cafe scene we needed to find a room that was suitable to shoot a interview scene in. On the day it took a long time to try and find an available room to shoot in but in the end we found one.
After shooting on this day we watched some of the footage back but realised that there were some continuity errors like Manny was holding the papers in one hand but when she walked through the door she was holding the papers in the opposite hand. On the second day we had to shoot this scene again. On the second day we were shooting the interview scene including the shot/reverse shot. This did not take very long. On the third day shooting we shot a bus stop scene and a flashback scene. Manny Shot some of the footage at home as we wanted a series of shots showing her getting ready for the interview.

We had call sheets so that we would no exactly what we needed when shooting:

Continuity Task: Storyboard

We have planned our shoot and made a story board to ensure that when we shoot everything runs smoothly and we can shoot it quickly. Here is our storyboard for this task:

Continuity Task

For this task we had to create our own script and then shoot our script. This video has to have great continuity without any errors otherwise the video will look wrong. The plot for our video is :
A woman goes for a job interview after being fired from her old job as she has kidnapped a child from the nursery she was working at. She wants to start over with a new job but shes afraid that what shes done in the past may affect the interview. As in the interview she has a flashback to when she kidnapped the child. In the interview we are using lots of reverse shots, quite often reverse shot sequences contain lots of continuity errors so we thought that this would demonstrate how good the continuity is.
