Preliminary Task Pre-Production

I'm working in a group with Aruran and Aymen for this project, we have chosen a simple plot. It's going to be about a young boy who insults another boys mother, and the boy who's mother had been insulted is furious and in rage to get the other boy back...


This will contain match on action and a conversation 


Anujan: Aymen I heard that you insulted my mother.
Aymen: yes, I did what are you gonna do about it 


Anujan looks like hes going to start a fight with Aymen


Anujan: you know what I'm telling the teacher!


Anujan leaves to go to the office and report Aymen


The first shot is going to be a of a boy running down the corridor and reporting to Anujan that he hear Aymen was insulting his mum. For this we're going to have to take a long shot and establish shot and then a mid shot when the boy is telling Anujan. The second shot will be a close up of Anujan's face while he's angry and in rage to get Aymen. The third shot will be a match on action when Anujan opens the door to find Aymen.

1. What principles of continuity are used here? How successfully?


When she was walking through the door this is a good example of continuity because it was a different shot as she opened the door and a different shot when she walked in.


2. What is the effect of the editing on the viewer? What are we meant to feel at different stages?


I mainly think it has to flow and not look cut, and It's supposed to build up tension and the viewer is meant to think whats going to happen next.


3. What is the 'best bit' for you in this sequence in terms of learning new techniques and why?


Continuity is what interested the most the match on action. And also when they took the woman's face and then her point of view.
