Entry 1

We started by story boarding and considering the conventions of continuity editing so that the narrative was read by the audience the way the director intended-
Whole class story board.
Smaller groups
then we filmed the exercise
We then analysed a continuity sequence which we then story boarded then re-filmed.
We then discovered by going through the process that it differed because we had followed the rules of the story
board and it made a lot more sense following that, rather than just filming with not knowing the basic story line.
We did not think that we broke any rules during the filming of this sequence.

we then filmed some practice shots and we were given a list of essential shots to include and built a short narrative
around them, here are some examples of the sort of shots we use-
Point of view shot (POV)
Establishing shot
over the shoulder shot
Close up shot
Then we started to analyse continuity sequences in thriller openings and began to look at the way suspense was built and how enigmas was created.
