BLK Homework- Continuity Reflection

In this short continuity clip we produced, our objective was to portray an accident in any form possible and to show the progression of how the accident happens or the consequences of this accident. As we were not allowed access to editing scenes, we had to match on action meaning we had to cut every frame at the right moment to continue the sense of continuity.

What worked?
Our concept was easily identified as Arianna portrayed a sense of urgency throughout the clip
It was also easily identifiable that we were aiming to try and have continuity in our clip and I felt that
Although our opening frame was cut out, it's still possible to establish a sense of setting from the pan shot in shot 2

What didn't work?
I felt that our continuity wasn't quite spot on and it seemed as if Arianna was repeating her actions, for example from shot 2 to 3; In shot 2, we filmed her running and the camera panned across as she ran, then in shot three, she was at a standstill before starting to run again, this is clearly a continuity error and it's called a Jump shot.
We also found that we had broken the 30 degree rule where the camera setup must not be further than 30 degrees from it's last position, this rule was broken in the transition from 4 to 5 where in scene 4 we are on the left of the bathroom door and Arianna has her back to the camera and then in scene five the camera where the camera is on the oppsite side, almost 180 degrees from the last camera placement
Finally, we were advised that in shot 4, the sense of urgency would have been continued better had we made Arianna run into the shot rather than already be in it before the camera was rolling

All in all, I think that the negatives of our clip outweigh the positives and our attempts to create match on action were close but not good enough, I feel that if we had another chance to do it, we would be able to create a more technically correct clip as we now know where we went wrong and how we can avoid these problems next time
