Accident Sequence

1) What techniques did you try to use to aid the narrative flow (continuity) of your sequence?

• We tried to use the 30 degree rule  so as to not create jump shots, this was very hard to implement and so it was only able to work during shots 2-3 instead of all our shots. 
• By using different angling of the camera it creates different points of view for the audience to look through and immerse them into the story. 
• We also used tilts and pans to give a good sense of setting and draw the audience into the action
• A good example of a technique we used to aid the narrative flow can be seen in shots 2-3 called "match the action" but it's at different angles so as not to create a 'jump cut'
• We had a great use of an establishing shot in the beginning

2) In hindsight, what could you have done differently to aid the narrative flow (continuity) of your       sequence?

• For shot 1, we could have framed it well instead of cutting at the actors knees and leaving loads of space above her head. We also could have stopped at the first zoom because the 2nd zoom doesn't leave an idea of setting (time and space) 
• It would have been better to place shot 4 before shot 2-3 because it disrupts the continuity low if it doesn't come after shot 1
• The tilt up in shot 2 could have been smoother 
• Some of the acting especially in shot 1 and 6 disrupted the continuity flow because the actor was waiting for direction however the camera had already started rolling (stilted acting)
•  Also in shot 3 it would have been better to cut the camera before the sound of the ball dropping because it disrupted the continuity between shots 3-4.
