Continuity Exercise 2.1

STRENGTHS 

    We were able to use a range of shot sizes in the video. Tracking,over the shoulder,close-up,extreme close-up and long shots were used in the exercise to show .We learnt three new shot types,match-on-action,shot reverse and 180 degree rule. These brought a certain level of improvement from the last continuity exercise.It gave us a wider range and added to the beauty of the final product.

   We had good actors,who are also media students,which made it easier for the shots to be done.As they have an understanding of the subject and now what is needed for the exercise.

   The use of the library,made it more realistic as we were able to film with other students there. This adds to the quality of the video.It also shows as a group we've been able to develop.

   As a group we've advanced in the area of filming and camera positions and other technical things.

WEAKNESS

    We found it difficult to do the match-on-action shot. This is probably,because we were just learning the shot.

    Most of our problems came about during the editing,as this is the stage were you either make or mare your project. This stage was hard,because we were learning to use the advanced equipment and edit at the same time. This slowed us down a little,but at the end we were able to work round it.
