Continuity Editing

The story behind this is two people are going speed dating. The male character in this sequence is over confident and cocky whereas the female character is not impressed by this and wants to leave as soon as possible.
We used shot reverse shot to show the conversation between the two characters and also a over the shoulder shot to portray this. We also used a "match on action shot" and a "cutaway shot". These are found at the beginning  of the sequence when the male character is about to enter the room.
We used a "shot reverse shot" on the door scene as it showed the anticipation of both characters on either side of the door. 

From doing this continuity sequence i have learned that there are a lot more techniques involved in the editing stage than i first thought. Involving re-shooting scenes in order to get the right angle, the focus of the lens to ensure the image is of a good quality. Furthermore the piecing together of the soundtrack and the sequence in order to make sure that they fit together perfectly. 
From this process i have gained more skills using Film cut pro and photoshop which will help when creating my own title sequence.

  1. From doing this continuity sequence i have learned that there are a lot more techniques concerned in the enhancing stage than i first thought. Involving re-capturing scenes with the intention to get the best angle, the focus of the lens to ensure the picture is of a great quality. Furthermore the piecing together of the soundtrack and the sequence with a purpose to make sure that they match collectively completely.
