At the start of the year we made a preliminary video to showcase our understanding of continuity and framing as well as simple techniques like shot-reverse-shot (S-R-S). I feel that we have learnt a lot from the preliminary, as well as developing those skills and learning new skills afterwards. Our film sequence contains multiple S-R-S's to show emotion and reactions while the characters talk. Continuity is kept in quite a few scenes, our film was completely smooth, but it was too long and certain scenes were slow and boring, and didn't feel very intense, so we felt losing continuity in certain scenes and between shots for jump cuts to speed up action was a good choice.
We feel that we have gotten better at the editing process, I feel that I have cemented a strong grasp and understanding of editing. I have also gained a strong understanding of visual and special effects, which is something I haven't done before so it was a sharp learning curve. We also feel that we have gotten better at framing shots correctly and making use of the locations and lighting available to us.
"Overall, we are very happy with the progress we have made, we feel that we have learnt a lot over the months."
