Evaluation 7

Looking back at your preliminary task (continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

The image above shows the two different frames where the continuity takes place, the first and the second.We videoed Theeba coming through the door the same way from both angles. From behind, at a mid-low angle for the first shot, and the next, a mid-shot, showing theeba walk through the door on the other side of her. Then I used Final cut Express to get the exact timing correctly, after several attempts as the timing must be as accurate as possible for the continuity editing to be as best as possible. I also learnt that i need to make sure that everything must be kept the same for every filming part of the filming in order for one shot to flow into the next, even a small variation can effect the flow.

The continuity edit in the frames above, differs from the previous as the camera is not behind the actor, instead the camera stays still as the character walks away into the toilets, and then the frame switches to from inside the toilets, instead of an immediate flow.

 

The two frames above, are part of one shot sequence. The technique that i have discovered is quite important is a point of view shot, as Komal is walking towards the toilet.

We took the first shot of this sequence showing komal's hand reaching the door to open the door and, the following shot is another continuity shot, then showing her open the door this, i have learnt is also a good technique to use,
