Continuity Task - Production

Problems: We have faced a few minor problems so far with this task, simple ones such as setting the camera and the tripod up.  We also had problems trying to matron action a scene, we didn't realise that it would be a better idea to have 3 separate clips to show the movement of characters over quite a long period of time. We also realised when we looked closely at each clip whilst editing that the door was open while two characters were sat down outside the classroom, but when the third character came to invite the others into the classroom the door was shit, this is a simple problem that we can fix just by re-filming  that certain part of the clip.


Solutions: I think we have already learnt from our mistakes by simply looking closely at the camera and the tripod and each practising individually so that we all know how to set it up by ourselves. To fix the matron action problem we are going re-shoot and fit in another clip but try it from a different angle to try and make the movement seem as smooth as possible even though we are cutting parts out. Also to fix the problem of the open and then closed door, we are going to have to re-shoot but in future we are going to take a lot more notice of the setting and backdrop to ensure that the clip runs smoothly throughout.
