Continuity Sequence

This is the continuity sequence we created for the preliminary task. The video is based on a student receiving bad news from the school nurse; the video is set in the nurses office but begins in the corridor out side the nurses office where the audience is able to see that the sequence will continue in another setting (nurses office)

We were able to follow-to a certain extent the storyboard we had previously created which led to a successful session of filming, as we were able to achieve all the scenes we needed to present the story we created. As part of the tasked we were required to include the following elements shot reverse shot, 180 degree shot and match on action shot. During the filming we included each of these elements. The shot reverse shot was when you see the nurse’s face then the students face and then finally the nurses face again. The 180 degree shot is throughout the exchange the nurse and student have. Finally the match on action shot was where the nurse opens the door and then the shot changes to the other side of the door. Also another required element which was required was movement from one side of the room to the other we have achieved this by having the student enter the nurse’s office and walk across the room to the seat. A further element required was a short exchange of dialogue between the characters; in our movie this is where the nurse gives the student the bad news.

Unfortunately during the filming we moved the positioning of the camera which led to the breaking of the 180 degree rule, to solve this problem-when editing the film- we added in a 'fade out' and 'fade in' transition.

Overall I think the continuity sequence went well as we were able to achieve all the required elements and we were also able to overcome the issue we faced when the positioning of the camera was changed.
