continuity editing

me and my group filmed a shot piece of someone walking into a room and sitting down in a chair where they then proceeded to engage in a few lines of dialog with another character under a spot like (like an interrogation). we used the 180 degree rule, and an eye line match as the basis of the project and it included over the shoulder shots and pans in the piece. i think it went well because it flowed well and had good continuity, it was brief and easy to interoperate. it could have been improved by a better use of lighting and more effects and effort put into the editing process. It created a sense of the genre because it was dark and mysterious without being scary or eerie. it gave the feeling of a detective mystery story.

construction preliminary exercise

in this exercise, we filmed a short exercise which involved the use of an eyeline match and the 180 degree rule. It involved someone walking into the room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character and then exchanging a few lines of dialog. the exercise was only about 15-20 seconds long and i think that it met the criteria.
