Continuity Task

My group was awarded a Level 2 by my teacher for this

piece of work. We peer assessed each others work

in class and came up with areas of improvement for each other.

Firstly my teacher argued that the task was incomplete

as the audience didn't physically see the character

leave the room. In addition it was argued that the

music was unnecessary. However i believe it was a

good chance to experiment with sound in

Premier. Further more the reaction shots of the

characters facial expression where unclear and the

facial expression couldn't be seen.

The framing of some shots was uncentral to the actiom and drew the

audiences attention way from the action.

To improve we decided that it is best to make

it obvious to the audience what is going on.

In addition repeating shots will ensure the best

shot is captured and can be used. Finally we need

to keep consistency with our effective shots for

better marks.

I believe my group worked well together in the

organsing and execution of our continuity task.

The camera work was effective and handled well.

However in some areas the framing of the shot was

wrong. To improve we will take more care when

positioning the camera and the actors to make the

film more effective. 

In addition the editing could of been

sharper, reducing the length of the clips. This would

of made the piece more effective as it would allow the

audience to engage more and tension would of been

created. Furthermore in some clips the clicking of the

camera could be heard. This reduces the quality and

effectiveness of the extract. To remove this we should

allow the camera to run for longer after the action.

This would make it easier to remove the sound without

effecting the quality and effectiveness of the extract.

However the location and the acting in the piece

where not ideal. The initial planned location wasn't

available. From this we can learn to be more 

organized and prepared before shooting. The actors

where not amazing. When it comes to doing our

opening scene we will use drama students who

should have more experience of acting.
