Continuity of Filming Project

Following last weeks session looking at the 180 degree rule and continuity of filming, at the end of the session we went out and filmed some footage making sure we filmed with our actor going right to left.

We were given a list of shots to create which followed the story of a man receiving a phone call with some bad news then rushing to the source of the call. Using Ed as our actor we created the following short film:


When it came to filming we always had to remember when setting up each shot from which angle we needed it in order to keep the shots flowing and not to confuse the audience. Our team managed to remember this rule the whole way through and there was no need for any double takes.

In todays session we worked with another group who were working left to right and put our footage together, this created more of a story. This was the final result:



As the original separate films were recorded separately the use of locations overlaps and does at points look a little odd but considering it is only a small exercise it is not too much of an issue and is more just for our own practice.
