Preliminary Task and Continuity

Today we were set our preliminary task. We must film someone walking along a corridor, into a room, and they must exchange dialogue with another person, then leave the room. This task is to help us practicei filming and editing, and although it is not being graded, I really am excited to put a lot of time and effort into making sure it is really good! My teacher, Mr Welch, showed us some videos about continuity on YouTube, which emphasised the importance of it. I think that it can be easy to completely forget about little details, such as if in one shot your hand is touching your cheek and the next its on your lap. Continuity is about the whole film running without errors. Shows such as 'Biggest Movie a Mistakes' make tv episodes about movies with bad continuity. It is being shown as a joke, I hope that when we complete our preliminary task the continuity will not be an issue.
