Continuity Task Evaluation

In our continuity task we had to create a small film of two people in conversation. Whilst in conversation we needed to film their reactions using a range of shots that we felt were appropriate. By doing this we were gaining and experience in many things. We have never properly filmed before so it was a good experience to learn how to and for groups to all have a go at filming. Also by making the small film we were able to realise what sort of grade we were reaching. We felt that the shots we needed to use were shot reverse shot and a range of mid shots and close ups. Our aim was to not break the 180degree rule and to show the reaction of our characters.
My group received a high band 2/ low level 3 for our work and assuming this was our first go at filming we were very pleased with this. Our sound was used very well and we captured the expression of both characters well.
However we could also improve our piece. When we recorded one of our characters we should have recorded her looking down on the male as she was superior. This would have indicated to the audience that she was the dominant person in the situation. Also our editing could have been better. At one point in our filming the editing is terrible and you can see where the old scene has been cut out and the new one has been put in. As a group we must make our editing better and also use a wider range of shots showing reactions in order to gain more marks.
