Continuity Sequence

Evaluation
After fining out what our task was, we were put into groups. I was in a group with two other people. At first we worked together to decide on a rough plot and then drew the shots up onto a storyboard sheet. We then decided on the room that we would be in and where we would be placing the camera so that we could stick to the idea of the 180 degree rule. We also had to make sure we included a shot reverse shot and match on action. Which we set made sure we included even though later on we did struggle.

On the first day of filming, we made many mistakes as a group and were not pleased with what we had filmed. We also realised that we had broken the 180 degree rule, so we knew we had to re-film.
On day two, one member of the group wasn't in so the two of us that were in had to go thoroughly through how we would shoot each scene and work out properly where we would be positioned.
On the last day, after realising that we were very behind other groups,we all worked together very well to make sure we completed all filming quickly and correctly and this time we made sure that the 180 degree rule would not be broken and all of the requirements were met.
I feel that all of my group put in a lot of effort in order to complete the task properly, and that the final clips that were to be edited together were done well.

Each member of the group then had to edit their own version of the sequence, so i converted the video's from mp4 to Mov as it works well on final cut. I found it easy to edit the sequence together due to previous experience with final cut.

If i was to do this task again i would make sure that we thought properly about the order of events before rushing of to film. If we had spent more time doing this we probably wouldn't have made any mistakes on the first day or if any mistakes were made we probably would have realised sooner.
