HW 3a - Continuity Task Evaluation (BLK)

1. During our video two teenagers are walking down a corridor in school, not really paying attention to their surroundings. After the guy goes through the door, he stops to plug his headphones back in and the girl, not realising this, opens the door into him, knocking him to the floor. She then helps him back up.
2. We attempted to create narrative flow by using a variety of shots, camera movement, matching the action from shot to shot and changing our framing in logical steps.
3. Unfortunately, we did not manage to achieve full continuity. This was because our shots were too similar - breaking the 30 degree rule - resulting in jump cuts. We also struggled with the character positions from shot to shot as we didn't have a plan and kept moving out of position after each take to check what it looked like and decide what to do next. In addition, logically, Ayisha should have been able to see Ray before she opened the door as the angle we used over her shoulder meant that the audience could. 
4. If we were to do this exercise again, I would ensure that our shots were more varied, particularly in terms of camera position. I would also change setting as the narrow corridor made it hard to get different angles for the shots and the glass half of the door makes our story less logically sound.
