Group Ideas 1

OK!

This week so far my group has been brainstorming together to try and come up with an idea for an activity set by the teacher, which was all about continuity editing. Continuity editing is a style which gives a scene realistic time progression throughout.We had to film a clip showing off a variety of camera shots, to see what we could do. This was an opportunity for the teacher to see our skills of camera usage and the many ways in which we could implement continuity editing well into the film.

We had come up with many ideas which are shown below and we eventually had chosen to do an idea which was a police interrogation scene involving a policeman and a suspect widow, who had been brought in due to her husbands death. The characters involved were James and Chelsea, who had to use their acting skills to realistically portray a police investigator and a suspect widow.

We had chosen to go along with a stereotypical 70's style portrayal of these characters with James(Investigator) wearing a trench coat or leather jacket with sharp clothes, while Chelsea(Widow) will be dressed in all black with a veil and small hat, who has come straight from her husbands funeral.

We created a draft for our script which is the basis for our clip, which can be seen below which has some seriousness, stereotypical crime aspects and comedy. The script also shows some of the angles we had come up with to use in the scene to show continuity.
