Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?


This simple shot-reverse-shot isn't the most effective - we cannot see Giorgio's expression as he puts his earphone in, and the shot is almost too long to retain interest.

Again, a very simple shot showing what Nicky is writing, the camera zooms in a little too far as well - these are important details that would be edited out in a professional film.

Simple long shots for the beginning, as well as a match-on-action when Giorgio opens the door, simple high-angle tilting shot to give the impression of a greater intelligence looking down on them. We have a simple shot-reverse-shot then, before a basic high-angle shot zooming into Nicky's writing. We kept to the 180 degrees rule by not filming from the other side of Giorgio and Nicky in the shot-reverse-shot.

My final movie, however, utilises a variety of shots. The sequence begins with an extreme long shot, cuts to a close-up over the shoulder, displaying a low-angle shot, before showing a panning shot of the sky. Already, i have four kinds of shot that i didn't use in the prelim. I have tried to include a variety of angles, so we have a couple of high-angle shots, as well as some floor shots -

I have also included effects for good measure, such as the black and white film effect.
