Continuity Edit

We did this continuity piece as part of coursework, which involved working in groups and coming up with a sequence. The storyline had already been decided which was just one person walking into a room, sitting down and talking to a second person. What was important was the cinematography of the sequence.
It had to have:

•  Match On Action
•  Shot Reverse Shot
•  180° Rule

Also this would show how well we would work in groups and are editing skills. As a group we decided to have a singing montage. We came up with the song 'What Makes You Beautiful' for One Direction. We thought that this would give the scene a bit of humour and would be relevant to popular music today. Making the sequence was successful but, we did take too long to decide how we was going to film the sequence and there were disagreement within the group.
My main roles within the group were director, editor and writer. which I think I did well, I could have improved by giving more advice to the cameraman about making sure that he does every scene several times and by checking there were no differentness (like a moved chair or an object being in one scene but missing in the next scene).
Overall I think we did well but, if we had more time and a different location it would have been much better.
