Continuity Video




I think some aspects of our video worked well considering it was our first try at a movie making continuity exercise. The most effective part of the video is the match on action which is best seen when she goes through the door as seen in the below screenshots. 


I believe to make this video better we should film is continuously and whenever the camera angle moves the actor will need to overlap the action he/she just done so that when it comes to editing, the video will run smoothly and become more fluent. You can see that the match on action isn't as smooth in other parts of the video as it jumps from one place to another and is a bit rigid. You can see this at the beginning when the motion of the walking doesn't quite match which makes it less smooth.

Another example of this is when she is walking down the stairs and it about to sit down. We didn't film her actually moving to sit down on the chair so it makes the video more jumpy as it goes from her stood up to sat down in a different space. These screenshots show this transition.



These screenshots of the video show that if we overlap the acting and the actors done the exact same actions as before whilst filming so we would be able to get more of a smooth flow because none of the motion would be missed out.
