Continuity Task- First Cut

This was our first cut to our continuity task. When we were filming this we initially thought we were doing really well and getting all the shots we needed to put our piece together, however when we uploaded them and began to put them into a sequence, we realised that the shots we were taking were very wobbly, unclear, and nearly breaking the 180 degree rule. I managed to edited and cut out most of the unsuitable clips and put this short film together, however we are going to go out and film this again, due to the poor quality and execution of it. At 00.06 we tried to perform an over the shoulder shot, but it was very shaky as we didn't have any way of holding the camera still, which we will have to perfect, and it the cut is too quick which looks too jumpy, however at 00.10 we thought the cut from inside of the door to outside of the door looked more professional, however it cuts off my head, therefore we are going to re film this part too. When the camera begins to move down, it is still unsteady, we wanted to include a zoom in our film, however as you can see it was very jumpy and completely ruins the beginning of the film. When I begin to run down the stairs is again very bad video quality and camera skills, due to the camera being hand held and there wasn't enough space behind the camera so it was too tight, therefore we will have to re-film this. From then on throughout the film, our shaky camera and wrongly positioned cuts, makes this look very amateur. Also on of the actresses begins to laugh which again makes it look unprofessional. When we re-film this we will need to ensure that our camera is still and we need to film more footage to work with so that we make sure we have enough to use if some isn't good enough.
