BLK 'Accident' Evaluation

1. What did you think was the point of the activity?
The activity was about continuity. It looked at how easy or hard it was to create continuity and also how important the rules of continuity are when filming. We were also looking at showing an accident in six shots using different camera techniques and angles.
2. In regard to your finished sequence, what worked well?
Our sequence uses six shot types which are very clear and easily differentiated. It also shows a clear story and is clear what is happening in the accident. We also succesfully use camera techniques such as 'over the shoulder' , mid shot and establishing shot.
3. What would you aim to improve about your sequence?
Our group broke the 180 degree rule in which you can't cross over a line so that audience are not confused on which side the charaters are on. Also our 'match on action' shot isn't smooth so we see a gap in between the shots where I punch Jess, this shot would need editing and the end or beginning of the two shots need to be cut so that the shots blend more nto eachother.
4. What did you learn from doing this activity?
I learnt new rules such as the 180 degree rule. Also how important editing is when looking at matching the shots and making sure the shot is smooth and doesn't confuse the audience. I also learnt techniques such as shot reverse shot and how important the use of an establishing shot is.
