Continuity Sequence



This is a continuity sequence that was created for the premliminary task and we dedcided that it was going to be based on a young girl who was going to recieve some bad news from the nurse. The news was that she was pregnant. It was set in the nurse's office and the corridor leading up to the office. The begining of the sequence it was showed in a point of view shot of the child.
 We created a simple story board that allowed us to follow step by step. Although we changed small details when filming the story board helped us as a guideline. Part of the premliminary task was to add the elements short exchange of dialouge, crossing a room, shot reverse shot, 180 degrees rule and match on action shot. The shot reverse shot was achieved through the dialogue of the nurse and the child, when the camera turns to each of their faces when talking. The 180 degrees rule was also achieved thorugh staying on one side of the two characters. The match on action was when the students sits down on to the chair and when the nurse opens up the door.
When filming the sequence we did not use a tripod, this made a problem when editing and there was a jump shot were the camera was not placed in the correct place. It tooks us quite a while to fim this sequence as the actors kept laughing while filming which ment having to do lots of takes. Overall i think the sequence went really well and we invoved each elemnt that was needed. Next time filming i would make sure that we used a tripod so we would achieve a good quality continuity sequence
