Task 4: Continuity Task

This task is where we have continuity features such as action match, shot/reverse shot and 180 degree rule to include in a sequence. We will only be given the following and so we will have to think of a plot for ourselves, make a script for it and also do all the planning. The clip must include:
-A character opening a dorr(Action Match)
-Crosses a room(180 degree rule)
-Sits on a chair facing another character
-exchanges dialogue(shot/reverse shot)

In order to get the highest amount of marks we need to show:
-Steadiness of shots
-Framing Shots
-Variety of shots/distances
-Shooting with appropriate material
-Mise-en-scene-colour/lighting/objects/setting
-Editing using appropriate effects
-Accurate use of sound
-Appropriate titles

Plot: A woman has an interview for a teaching job and is very nervous for the interview. Going into the interview will be our action match shot and 180 degree rule. The shot/reverse shot will be the interview when the woman has had a seat. The interview carries on and then a question arrises where the woman seems unsure what to say. Then she is sitting in a cafe with a baby scan which gives the audience a sense of mysteriousness....
