Continiuity Task

Video hasn't been uploaded yet.

For the continuity task, again like in the practice film task we had to film 2 people, (Jamie and Amber), having a conversation, only this time for some reason, we had to come up with ourselves why person A (Amber), had to leave. This meant we had to come up with our own script as well as storyboarding and filming.
Our group decided that our script would be that Jamie had cheated on Amber with her brother and she had found out about it from somebody else, so she went storming in to confront him. We came up with about 18 shots. I took charge of storyboarding, as from learning from our animatic task, someone needed to be in charge of that. Also, because storyboarding was one of my stronger sklls, taking charge of it let me develop on this skill further in trying to get the drawings done quickly and efficiently, and also to make sure that what I am drawing will be the image in which us as a group wanted. Amber and Jamie did scripting and Huw did the filming, so communicating and working as a group has improved also.
Overall our continuity task was quite good, although it could have been improved by changing camera angles when starting a new shot, editing needed to be worked on and Amber needed to be at a high angle on camera to show that Jamie was inferior to her as he was in the wrong, as low angles were used on him, but also on her, which didn't make sense. Also on positioning of camera as it was slightly tilted.

The level we got was a high level 2 - low level 3.
