What did we do - our preliminary task for our coursework was to create a continuity work piece which lasted a maximum of 2 minutes below is our final outcome at this task

3 Rules

<----------

• Do NOT break the 180 degree rule
• MUST have shot reverse shot
• Match on action shot NEEDED

Why did we choose this ideas?

We chose to base our video on the one direction hit song "what makes you beautiful" because we thought we could work our video around the lyrics of the song, with a specification of the task to showing a match on action camera shot of a door opening, this coincided with the lyrics being "turn you head when you walk through the door". Also our chosen production has a comedic feel to it and although a few minor disputes we thoroughly enjoyed making this continuity piece

Other Ideas?

A positive this experience has given our group is that we know that we have a very dynamic group, with plenty of ideas of what we could do. other themes of idea we had for our task was for example: Doctors surgery, conversation at a cafe, opticians etc...

So what went well?

looking back at it in retrospect this task was just what our group needed, because we have strong characters in our group with contrasting opinions at the same time and this has potential to cause conflict, and to be honest it wasn't a smooth ride. But after the task we are a tight and compact group not individuals and now realize that all member of the group must be allowed to have a voice.

What would be improved if we was to make the piece again

The improvements which would be applied if we was to produce this piece again would be; film more angles of the sequence to give us a greater choice when entering the editing process. Work better as a team and to plan our time more constructively so we would not be a such a rush to finish.

My input into this task

• All though Tolga initially came up with the concept of incorporating the song into our pieces, i pushed forward the idea and helped to develop it as the sequence you have just watched
• Filmed part of the sequence

Future

After completing this task i can know see that i am in a group and sometimes need to not be so passionate about what i want to do and focus on what is best for the group, i realize i am in a group of four dynamic , creative and inventive members and feel that this will enable us to create a better piece of work.
