Preliminary Coursework- Continuity Editing Sequence - Media



For our piece of coursework we were set a preliminary task to film and edit a continuity piece which had to involve 3 elements. The three elements of the task involved shooting a piece of Match on action, a shot-reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. For our task we had to film somebody walk into room, sit down and have a conversation with somebody else, already in the room. For our piece we decided upon one character walking into the room whilst singing along to 'What Make's You Beautiful' by One Direction.
We managed to fit each of the required elements in pretty well and also didn't struggle too much in the filming and editing side but did struggle on coming up with an idea for the task. As a group we had come up with many different ideas of what the film would involve but eventually came to the decision of using the song 'What Makes You Beautiful' as a basis for the piece.
In the filming side I helped film the majority of the office shoots while another member filmed the corridor shoots and also filmed the Match on action of the door being opened. The other two members of the group starred in the piece.
In the Future, something we could improve upon would be spending more time planning the shots and filming than spending the time thinking of an idea of what our piece would be about.
