Continuity exercise

Continuity exercise



I found

 the continuity exercise to be easy for the most part, however, my group had to film a second time due to breaking the 180 degree rule when character A was walking into the room as the camera broke the 180 degree rule as they walked in to start the conversation with character B. I found editing to be much harder with this version due to putting all the clips in the timeline at once. After discovering the flaw during the walk on sequence,we re-shot the entire conversation in the room, using over the shoulder perspectives in order to maintain the 80 degree rule . The only footage carried forward was the close up of the door handle and opening of the door from the outside.

I found editing this section far easier as I went through each clip methodically, editing them down, then positioning them as needed, in a spaced out manner to avoid accidental cuts. This took much less time than the first attempt .

I will take forward the skills of zooming into the timetines in order to get a clear cut and cutting out unwanted parts of the clip.
