Continuity Task- Final Cut

This is our final cut to our continuity task. We have made a major improvement to our first cut because we have re-filmed a lot of our footage and also added titles which is important to our learning towards our real film. Our first clip of me walking through a corridoor and opening a door we decided to re-film from a different angle and track with the camera, rather than use cuts, this also gave us another technique which we have learnt that we can use in our project. We also decided to cut out the zoom when we tracked down to the bottom of the staircase, but keep the camera at a reasonable distance so we could show enough of the chracters actions and enough of the setting.
When I begin to run down the stairs we decided to change the angle of which we filmed it at to ensure that the sound and image of me running after the girls signified danger to them. The cut between me running through the door after the other actresses, to seeing the back of them running was a bit too late which makes the film slow down in pace when it should be fast because the scene is up pace. Also, the position of me running to the locker and getting to the locker changes which breaks the continuity of the film. At 00.53 there is also a person that begins to walk into the scene which you can see in the reflection of the display board, which I attempted to cut out, but only managed to achieve it like this because it cuts out the dialogue. Additionally at the end of the film, you can see the door close twice, which again breaks the continuity of the film.
Overally I think this is a major improvement from our first cut because camera work is much better with still shots and no zooms, however we still have made some errors in our work which we will need to improve and change when we make our real film, also we have a lot of background noise which sometimes ruins the dialogue and action, therefore we will ensure there is no movement in our real film and if necessary we will cut out the sound and add dialogue and sound effects over the top. We could have added some sound to our film to build tension or show vunerablity of the two girls which we will add in our next film. I believe our group worked really well together but we need to pay more attention to the work rather than distracting each other and going off task, therefore we will need to concentrate more on our work next time.
