Our task was to create a continuity task which met a designated brief; to present a short narrative involving a series of specified techniques including a match on action and some form of shot reverse shot. The above video is the final product of our mini-project and demonstrates our understanding of various techniques which makes a simple collection of actions such as opening a door and engaging in conversation into something which an audience would be interested in viewing. Personally I think I beneficed from the task because beforehand my knowledge of different shots was decent but my method of using these appropriately at the right time was lacking. Below is a series of screenshots of where we intergraded the brief's requirements and used them in the task.
These two screenshots of out continuity task demonstrate our understanding of the editing technique of a match on action. Personally I think this worked quite well and was done to a decent standard. However it did take a while to get the position of the subject right as we had to make sure that body parts were in correct positions which ensured that continuity was taken in account. Additionally the actual use of the technique draws attention to the action and may be interpreted as a device which is used to build tension and suspense.
Below is another example of where our group compiled with the brief's requirements. We tried to use a shot reverse shot but as there is minimal conversation engaging both subjects, we found it difficult. We did use shot reverse shot however often they included one character speaking and another shot directly placed after, through editing, where it shows his reaction.
