"What are you doing here?"

A strength of our film is it includes different shot types, which shows our understanding of each one, it also makes it interesting as there is not one shot that is same.

A weakness of out film is we filmed two of the shots on the wrong side, this may confuse the audience as they character is on the wrong side from where they should be looking, but we fixed this issue when we were editing it.

We made this film in adobe. We found that inputting the clips and cutting them was rather easy. This was straight forward as all you had to do was drag the clip that you wanted to use down the video bar. The difficulties that we faced was trying to flip the characters round so that they were on the correct side. In the end we managed to find an effect that flipped the character round to what ever angle you wanted, after we found it and used it a few times we got the hang of it. Another thing that was quite challenging was trying to zoom into the face, this was very hard as there were no indications on how to do it or where we could find the tool. Overall i would say we got the gist of things in the end but will need a bit more practise using this piece of software in the future.

Continuity in filming - Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and there intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.

Continuity in filming - Match action or cutting

This is when the editor cuts from a shot to a different view of the first shot. This just shows you a different angle of they shot which may show some more detail. It creates a visual bridge which draws the viewers attention away from the cut in between.

Continuity in filming - Shot reverse shot

This is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (that you are not able to see) and then it cuts to the other character showing the other character looking at the first one, once again you cannot see the other character. This is usually used when someone is having a conversation.

Continuity in filming - 180 rule

The 180 rules states that the two characters that you are filming must stay on the same side as they were when you started to film, you can cross the line if you take the camera with you. The reason why we have the 180 rule is so it does not disorientate and confuse the audience. It mainly includes 3 shots so they are able to get one angle of character 1, one angle of character 2 and then a shot with both of the characters in such as a long shot.
