Continuity Projects

Firstly when we came to make our projects we drew up a storyboard and from that decided where we were going to film. After this we took out a camera, tripod and dolly so we could film all of the shots we needed. We then came back to the classroom and imported what we had filmed into iMovie and edited it all to the way we wanted it. Then we added sound effects to give an atmosphere. Unfortunately when we came to save it we were supposed to save the project onto the "scratch" disc but we saved it onto the user area we were using. So when we came back to upload it onto our blog today we found that the picture from the video had been deleted but the sound remained. We grabbed an image to display on here but cannot upload any vid

We have now managed to rescue the original video and can upload it here.



Evaluation of exercise:

After watching this piece again there are certain conventions we have either missed, or have done wrong and several mistakes have been made in the filming process. However each of these mistakes is a lesson learned for our group as a whole and can be taken on board to better our final piece when it is created. The first thing we noticed is that when the main character has his first bit of speech, most of his head is off shot for most of the scene. Also we noticed that in the very last shot actors are missing from the background. We know that if we did this in our final piece we would have to go back and film it again wasting some valuable editing time.

Any luck with the rescue bid. You must follow this up!

'continuity errors' is an expression you need...

Remember the importance of media terminology in your evaluation of the process and outcome.
