Accident Video
1 - My video attempted to tell the story of an accident. It is a basic story of two people playing football (myself and Derek) on the school field. My character hits the ball too high and forces Derek's character to run backwards in an attempt to catch the ball. He does not see the third character (played by Zain) and falls over him, hurting Derek's character in the process.
2 - Before we took our shots, we took our time to plan out our story and roughly how we would portray it. We had to think of a logical shot order in order to tell our story correctly. When filming, we tried our best to keep it flowing quickly throughout, as well as keeping it continuous. This meant we tried our best to keep a match on action and the eyeline match (e.g. looking at the ball).
3 - On the whole, our we achieved continuity in most places. For example, we were very happy at the continuous flow between shots 1 and 2, where the ball bounces at the right time. However, there were two times continuity was not achieved. Between shots 2 and 3, where the ball doesn't fly as high in 2 as it does 3, and between 4 and 5, where Derek runs for longer than he should have. This was mainly because we couldn't edit our shots, and so it was difficult to keep it continuous without editing it.
4 - In hindsight, I would introduce Zain's character in the first shot so the audience know who he is when he appears in shot 4. I would also make it clearer what his character is doing.
