Continuity task

Today we had a morning of filming a short piece that had continuity in. We were asked to include the following, Person A walks to the door, opens it, passes through it, crosses room, sits down and talks to someone. It had to be shot with these in mind, Match on action, 180' rule and a reverse shot.
We also were asked in an extension to include some of the following, person walks along, footsteps, door bangs, a scream, ambiant lighting, extreme angles, mettering, reverse tracking, a tilt, more than 3 locations, engima, more than 2 people and implied fear.

Some of the problems that we encountered were that we had children from there P.E lessons wanting to walk past, we were also under trees and were dripped on, at some point we had a rain drop of the lens and didn't notice till the editing.

Most of the editing was done in Sony Vegas 8 by James Wigger, me and Blaine Kenneally.

• 4 children playing in a window, judging by the quality of the window and the clothes shows that it is in a poor area, maybe africa.
• The lighting is above the window, shows its mid day.
• Dark with in the room means there is no lighting.
• Window represents framing.

• Doorway could show a place to infinity.
• Black and white gives the light more detail.
• Silhouette of woman in the doorway.
• Sun light through the trees shows wonder.
• Hands touching the frame, shows she is stopping for thought.

• From china.
• Buildings around crop the photo to focus on the lady.
• Detal on the roof and walls gives the image a more cultual meaning.

• This screen shot is from red desert.
• The lighting in this scene looks mild and dull which could mean that it is getting dark.
• Image is poor quality so it is quite old.
• The man leaning could mean that he is talking to someone in the room.

• Having the camera in the darker area shows up more detail on the person and his suroundings.
• the two building that are eathers side of the male frame the picture and focus more on the man.
• The photo is taken from above looking down at him showing dominace.
