Introduction and Prelim Task

Members of our group are Steph Bolton, Danielle O'Hara, Polly Hindle and Katherine Whittaker. Our chosen project is an opening sequence to a new Thriller film. Our genre is a hybrid including Thiller/Horror/Sci-fi.

This is our prelim task. We thought the task was succcessful. It is a short film about a skeleton that cheats on a woman. When we filmed the opening door section, the match-on-action was continuous and smooth. This was the type of professional editing that we would want in our film. However, because this was one of our first continuity edits, we had a jump in the editing, were we stopped filming and started another shot and the actor had slightly moved position. This made the film less smooth and distracted the audience from the action taking place. In future to avoid this re-occuring, we would allocate exact positioning with tape so the actor would not shift from shot to shot; consequently making the film more professional.
