This cut is much more successful than our first, within this cut we can see a lot more of our shot list. Within the clip we can see a change from the technically of the shots, creating a much more professional look to the clip.
Is this the final cut of your continuity task? Please let me know immediately. If so where is your evaluation of it? What have you l earned from this and how can you use this learning in your coursework?
Firstly with regards to the criteria, you have followed the 180 degree rule and not broken it, and there is evidence of match on action in the chase section. What is not evidenced is the SRS.
You have demonstrated a basic ability to use a camera effectively, with shots held steady and some variety in angle and distance. Further thought is required on the way you set up a scene and how you wish the viewer to follow events through the camera. Consider POV-which then will serve you well for SRS-and whether a pan is needed before someone has actually entered the scene. This is not effective in your task. This also highlights your poor framing in places, and so you must think about the positioning of actors and objects in the frame. When someone is speaking it is odd for an audience to have the camera looking at his profile and then to a CU when we would want to be looking at the person from his POV. Good use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound which allows the pace to quicken and further engage an audience. Editing at times hinders engagement. When he enters the room leading to the taking of the phone, the pace of each scene is inconsistent, meaning you have not clipped each section the same. The last scene does not make sense as previously he has already gone through the door and so he cannot then be just going through it afterwards. This is your continuity editing problem along with the sudden appearance of a bag.
