Continuity Exercise

In this exercise we filmed different types of shots and edited them together. The real reason behind doing all this was to try and spot various continuity errors, for example the scene where we see max shooting the agent with his coat (supposed to be a gun) and then in the following shot we see him wearing that coat. Obviously in the real film this wouldn't happen as we would have various props to use but it shows how important continuity. We used the town hall gallery which was quite good as a spy drop off cafe like what they use in most spy films. The cars and lorry's and people walking in the background of the town hall scene make it look as thought it is a busy city street and the people and vehicles are like extras and props . Also the filming of the backstreet seemed like a good secluded spy location for our filming i think that both of these locations could be used in final thriller film.We have got a mixture of different shots such as close ups , over the shoulder shots at the beginning which was very effective for the talking dialogue between characters.We have got some mid and long shots and also some pan during the part in the cafe . close ups would be particularly effective when the parcel was being handed over .
