This was a quick film to show that we understood how continuity works. It was shot in one afternoon.

This Continuity task was to show our understanding of basic media techniques. It had to include dialogue and continuity.
The first obstacle we had to overcome was choosing between our ideas. We thought of three scenarios, pictured right, which were
1) Two criminals on the run from police take shelter inside an abandoned building. Continuity shown through cutting from camera angles during conversation. They eventually leave the building.
2)Two detectives running after a hooded figure who they lose track of. Continuity shown through camera angles being cut during chase, and when detectives are on search for the figure.
3)A violent confrontation between two people. Continuity shown through camera angles being cut whilst objects being thrown/fight taking place.
Obviously we chose the second option. However we did decide to adapt the original idea by adding a cliff hanger as the ending. This was an idea of mine thought of as we were filming the final few scenes.
We decided to film after lunch, this gave us the maximum time to film before the sun set, giving us the ideal light for the film with no sudden change half way through.
I believe we were successful in the making of our continuity although there is one mistake noticed on evaluation. As Haran and Adam leave the car the to chase after the runner the camera changes to show all three characters. It is here that we noticed that Adam and Haran had swapped places, as if Adam was driving. This is our only slip up in this piece, and as a result we took extra care making sure to check positioning of actors and objects in future.
