Continuity Edit Task completed





After a completing the principle filming for our task, we then compiled the footage onto the editing software in order to sequence the footage according to our storyboard. Within the editing stage, our sequence went through various drafts where our group felt that certain aspects of the sequence had to be altered in order to benefit the audiences viewing experience from our clip. Aspects such as shot durations affected the sequence due to their effects on the shots following each other that may play a toll on the realism of the actions such as walking due to failing the action match ; this is why we needed to perfect these moments in the sequence. 

As a group we felt that in order to truly immerse the audience within the situation presented in the clip, inclusion of non-digetic sounds such a music helped provide the audience with a sense of the tone we wanted to achieve from this piece.

After various drafts we have draw to our final edit which we feel has met all objectives on the task's criteria. This task has expanded our knowledge as aspiring film-makers in which we intend on utilising our experiences not only from this task but from our experiences with producing videos in the past.

We as a group have expanded our understanding of collaborating with one another in order to share our creative ideas in regards to our project; whilst learning how to convey meaning through shots and sound.I look forward to progressing with our development on our coursework project and I'm truly eager to produce our project.

    All the technical criteria has been demonstrated from the brief, executed with excellent accuracy. The integration of the SRS, Match on action and the 180 degree rule within your narrative has been constructed in post-production effectively. There is a good range of camera competencies demonstrated, with angles, shot distances and framing carefully considered. Reflect carefully on the use of a zoom out at the start when perhaps lengthening the distance between camera and character would have maintained further consistency in the style of filming. Think carefully about the reason for the decision, instead of including it for the sake of it. Editing is very good overall, as is the use of sound and mise-en-scene. Background noise when in the cafe needed to have been deleted as it does not add any verisimilitude to the scene, along with a person just appearing in the shot. Set up your scene carefully when shooting. Further to this, the final match on action needs to be smoother in terms of length of each shot in the sequence. Nevertheless there is excellent technical competencies shown; be aware of the "little errors" that have been overlooked when working in post-production. Use your team wisely.

  2. Okay I will definitely need to control the level of sound in the set so the clarity of the audio sounds more professional.
