Continuity Project

We have beem tasked with producing a video focusing on 'continuity', the main focus is to ensure that we get it right in this video.

Our brief also claimed that we should include:
  • Action Match
  • Shot/Reverse Shot
  • The 180 Degree Rule
  • A character that opens a door
  • A character that crosses a room
  • Exchange of dialogue
Each point listed above seems to correspond with the one in the second list, in that order

Although we have to include all these features in our final video, we are given freedom to plan, shoot and recruit as we see fit for this project - making storyboards, scouting for locations and aquiring cast members. This also means that we are given free range to create a script of our own, an opportunity we were not given during the 'Numbers Project' as that was to test our camerawork and editing capabilities.

I am unsure as to what scenario I wish to film however I will try and create a plot that is short - as to avoid any unwanted continuity errors - since the longer the film, the more risk for continuity errors. Presumably my story will consist of a conversation between two people sat across from one another.
