Continuity editing exercise.

Good points about your
work
There was a range of shots used
which flowed well together.
The music complimented well,
without it, the clip would seem
rather boring.
The music paused for suspense,
this was another point that was
highlighted.
Not so good points about
your work
The clip was quiet short, could
improve by adding more dialogue.
In some parts of the scene you cant
hear the dialogue, could improve by
lowering the music.
Targets/improvements you
would make.
Next time I will be more creative, as
there was not a very good storyline,
so I couldn’t add many experimental
shots.
I also will be more organised, as this
lacked in this task. This will help on
my Opening sequence for my
thriller.
 Criteria How was it met?

Digital Technology I used DV cameras to record. This is a part of Digital Technology. In post
production, I used iMovie on the apple iMac to edit the sequence.

Creativity The mise-en-scene was one in were I was a bit creative. I asked the
female actor to wear feminine clothing, e.g. skirt, this made her
stereotypical view of a woman.
I also asked the iPhone to be on the table, this added to the
verisimilitude as young people are up to date with modern technology.

Post-Production
Research and Planning (if applicable)
I used the invisible editing technique to edit my piece, this added to the
verisimilitude of the clip. I cut to different angles of the scene; this made
it easier to watch. The 180 degree rule was adhered to, as I kept to one
half of the scene. I used the song “mmmbop” by Hanson; this created a
positive atmosphere in the clip. When paused the song in the clip, it
created greater suspense as it is a cheery song, this made the dialogue
important to listen to.
I created a storyboard, but then did not follow it.
If I followed the storyboard it would have produced a better product.
