The Continuity Task was a good insight into how much experience people have had with a camera, we found that we where all new and not very experienced. I trying to use the experienced techniques too early was our down full because our end result looked very fake making a very simple task look amateurish.
We began by trying to get a shot of Sam entering the room, we wanted to use the tripod getting a P.O.V. of me looking up at him as he entered however we found that this was a lot trickier than it looked, as we where unable to make the tilt look natural. We then moved the position of where I was sitting down, to try and change the unnatural angle, I believe that we had done it to a certain extent, as it looks a lot better than before, but perhaps could have experimented with a hand held shot.
Positioning was a very difficult factor that we faced, as we where unable to successfully position the tripod to get clear over shoulder shots of me sitting in the chair. We then had to re position our self once again, causing a continuity error that was clear when we watched it back. This was mainly due to our location of the piece as it was a very confined office making it hard to position the tripod and people inside.
When we had to edit the footage where we found that some of the shots did not look natural still, like the tilt of Sam entering the room, we either could re film it from a different angle or shot however found due to our deadline it was best to keep it. We also wanted to create a sense of tension in the task, we thought we could do this by adding some Non – Diegetic music to build the tension gradually but this made very little difference.
