Preliminary Task

Today we recorded the preliminary task based on continuity. We filmed a sequence in the LRC. The film was simple with a character walking into the LRC then having a conversation about one of the books our film flows well using the 180 degree rule to full effect. We started by having Michael walk down the the corridor and into the LRC as he did this we used a zoom and a tilt on the camera to focus in on the sign to show the set and location. In the second scene where Michael collected a book off the shelf we used a close up of this to show match on action. Then whilst filming the conversation we used over the shoulder shots through the bookcase. Then the last shot we filmed we used a wide shot to show the whole setting and the characters spacial awareness. The continuity through the conversation was good and we stuck to the 180 rule but the transaction from the corridor into the LRC was staggered and didn't flow. Because of the simple storyline, we were able to concentrate on the continuity of the sequence more.
