Continuity Sequence


For this task, we were put into a group of made up of 4 people and given only 20 shots to work from to then make up a short video.
When it came to filming, the camera was put on specific settings such as the frame rate being at 25 frames per second, the resolution being at 1920 by 1080 pixels, the stutter being at a normal speed (but can vary in for different shots) in order to create the shots. For the shots we were given certain amount of times we have to use in a shot for the entire 20 shot sequence such as using at least five close-ups to using at least one POV (point of view) shot along with that, the task was given a specific theme of involving package of some kind changes hands for which for our group chose a phone exchange between a normal person and a clown with the type of genre being a comedy, the video was also not to include any continuity errors, any visible cameras or tripods within the shots and no dialogue. After all the shots were filmed, they were then all sorted through and then placed onto the editing software, Adobe Premiere Pro where the shots were edited together along with adding a few transitions such as a dissolve or wipe and also adding non-copyrighted music from Bensound for the video's background music.

For the finished video, I think the shots and transitions to other shots worked really well for the video and felt like it was going by the rule of having no continuity errors within the video and this is through both the final and post-production version of the video. I also thought the theme of package exchanging of the phone worked well for the video as it felt comedically timed throughout the video and with the editing adding to that, it worked well.
I think some of the locations chosen for the shots (example being at the start of the video) where the lighting in the room was too dark to fully see the match up for the next shot. I think also the choice of music could've been better but due to the limitations of the variety of music choices on the website and through the given music.

Introduction What is a documentary? / How would you define ‘documentary’? A documentary is a genre in media that can be presented in various ways such as film and programmes which are based upon factual subjects (for example, a documentary could be about a crime that's either solved, unsolved or still being investigated). On defining a documentary is that how compared to other genres within media, it takes real-life scenarios or a theme and presents that to the audience in a way that intrigues, like how people could like or be interested into a certain topic a filmmaker has made.    Expository Identify the key features of expository documentaries +  Provide your own example of an expository documentary The key features seen in expository documentaries are that there is a voice-over/narrator present (not on screen but instead over the top of the documentary) who directly presents information based from the images shown on screen to the audience.  A example of a exposi...

The Nature and Purposes of Research

Primary research "Primary research is research you conduct yourself (or hire someone to do for you.) It involves going directly to a source – usually customers and prospective customers in your target market – to ask questions and gather information." ( https://www.thehartford.com/business-insurance/strategy/market-research/primary-second-research ) The definition of primary research is when any type of research is collected by yourself.  Examples of primary research is surveys, interviews and observations. As the way you have collected the research by yourself rather than someone else (as this would be secondary rather than primary).  An example of the use of primary research in my own work is when the questionnaire was made as I collect the research by myself as getting information from the internet or other sources was not the best to use for the task.  Secondary research "Secondary research involves the summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing research.
