Continuity Video Task


The task was this: Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule

For equipment are group got given a handheld camera and a tripod. We chose the topic of the conversation to be about football and specifically about the player talking to the coach/manager. 
As you may have noticed there are some errors in this video. The first major one is that the two characters repeat themselves. This is an error on my part as i missed this during editing. But this has taught me how easy it is to mess up a video. Another is the shakiness the camera made, this is because i didn't use the tripod. Although that this way of filming can be effective, in this instance it wasn't and this made the quality of the video poor in my opinion. 

This task has really help me to understand the basics of filming and editing more. There was some mistakes but i think me and my group learned from them.
