1. What was your role in task and what did you actually do?
I play the role of Miss Perkins in the short video, and so I had to act in several of the scenes. When I was not acting, I took part in filming and operating the sound on the camera. For example, I filmed the panning shot of Emmanuel walking into the media block. Lastly, Hugo and I shared the responsibility of editing the sequence together, and the final edit can be seen above. We had to choose the best shots and then edit them together so that we had clear match-on-action throughout the sequence.
2. As a group, what factors did you take into account when planning, filming and editing?
Throughout the planning, filming and editing process, our group had to consider the demands of the brief. The main objective was to achieve full continuity, and so when planning our shots, we had to think about the rules of continuity, and how we would frame our shots to produce a seamless video. We also had to make sure that we had a simple and clear narrative that was easy to understand and follow.
3. How successful was your sequence? Did you fulfill the demands of the brief? Did you manage to demonstrate match on action, shot-reverse and 180-degree rule? Did you achieve continuity overall?
I believe that our sequence is quite successful. We managed to create lots of match-on-action and we used shot-reverse-shot quite frequently. We also managed to keep in consideration the 180-degree rule and so the short video doesn't disorientate the audience. The narrative is also quite funny and easy for the audience to follow. However, there are certain points in the video where we didn't achieve continuity. For example, the time on the clock changes quite dramatically between two shots when in reality, only a few seconds would have passed.
4. What have you learnt from completing the task? How might this impact on future video production work?
This task has taught me so much about continuity and creating continuous videos. I learnt that multiple shots need to be filmed in order to create a good match-on-action, and i now know the importance of having the master shot to fall back on when you don't have a brilliant match-on-action. This will help me in future productions as I know how much planning must go into creating a video which is so seamless. It is important to have a variety of shots to choose from in order to have good match-on-action.
