Continuity Task

Adam, Aidan and I grouped together to make a Continuity Task. The brief that was given to us was that it needs to show someone walking up to and going into a door, sitting down and exchanging dialogue with another person already in the room. We accomplished the task and met the brief. Here it is:

We achieved continuity by counting my steps, remembering where i was positioned on the stairs, and remembering which foot i started on. By looking back at footage we already filmed we could see where my feet were so continuity was present in the raw footage as well as fixing a few bits in the editing process. We only used one camera so we couldn't use the 180 degree rule.

The 180 degree rule is a basic rule of filmmaking which regards the on-screen relationship between two objects or people in a scene. The cameras can't be on opposite sides of the two objects in question. They must be on the same side of an imaginary line going through the center of the two objects to make sure you can't see the other camera.
