Continuity Task 2 Evaluation


1. What was your role in the task and what did you actually do?
In the task, my primary role was to film the actors or monitor the sound for other members of my group whilst they were filming; I took up the role of camera operator and sound operator.  I also partook in editing some of the video in post-production as well as contributed some shot ideas alongside the rest of the group.  During pre-production, decisions were made collectively, for example the order of our shot list or the when and how we were going to cut to our master shot, since the brief requested it was to be included.


2. As a group, what factors did you take into account when planning, filming and editing?
During planning, we took into account the shot types we needed if we wished to have full continuity, such as the master shot and eyeline matches on the extreme close-ups.  When filming, we had to continue to consider how we would get full continuity, such as obeying the 180 degree rule and keeping the set / props in the same condition for when we filmed from different directions.  In the editing process, our group had to think about how effectively we could maintain the narrative flow and tell the narrative with the rushes which we had available.  This was not just for continuity purposes, but so the audience would understand what was going on.


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?
I would say that our sequence was quite successful, as we met the demands of the brief.  Sadly, we did not reach maximum continuity, as a result of the change of time on the clock in the background between two shots.  Furthermore, filming did overrun by approximately 15 minutes, which meant that we did not succeed in filming all our shots in the time allocated.  Besides this, match-on-action and shot/reverse/shot was successfully achieved during post-production.  Also, the 180 degree rule was not broken when filming.


4. What have you learnt from completing this task?  How might this learning impact on future video production work?
From completing this task, I have learnt to pay attention to fine details in order to gain full continuity (for example the clock in our video).  I have also become more competent in filming in order to meet a brief and this experience will increase the efficiency the production process and will ultimately make sure that we complete filming within the time allocated.  Additionally, I have increased my skills in editing on Adobe Premiere CC and this will help me feel more confident when editing, exporting and uploading projects in the future.
