Today we were told we would have to film a sequence of at least 10 shots making sure that there was continuity. We talked about how sometimes when you watch films there isn't continuity, for example someone will be sitting in a scene talking to someone and then when the camera angle changes they will be standing talking instead of sitting so there movement isn't continuous and viewers will wonder how they change position so quickly. Alice asked us to create a sequence of movements using about 10 shots to show continuity and include a shot reverse shot. She wanted us to film a conversation between two people, using shot reverse shot (match on action) and film one person going through a door to get to the other person ensuring the shots were continuous. I was in a group with Gervais and Ben. We decided that our story would be Ben as a 'dodgy dealer' going to meet one of his suppliers, but he meets the wrong person, who looks at him confused and isn't listening to him anyway as she has her head phones in, when he realises its the wrong person he gets up and leaves in a hurry. We decided to use 10 shots of which included:
1. Long shot of ben walking down the corridor
2. P.O.V shot looking at Bens phone
3. Match in action shot of the door handle
4. A shot of Ben walking through the door
5. P.O.V of Ben walking into camera
6. Over the shoulder shot of Ben looking at the other person
7. Shot reverse shot
8. Low angle shot of other person
9. Over the shoulder shot of Ben in confusion
10. P.O.V shot of Ben
Whilst filming we changed some of these shots as they didn't quite work and another shot was suited better. However, we ensured we had continuous shots and used shot reverse shot to document a conversation.
