Continuity

Continuity is essential in making a professional piece of film. This includes ensuring all cast are wearing the same clothes in the same day, and there are no things out of place which shouldn't be there.

In our final AS production there was a mistake with continuity editing. This mistake was when Rosie, the mother, was entering the house, the teddy was shown on the bench outside. This was an error as the intention was that the viewer assumed the teddy was with the villain. However seeing it on the bench would have showed them it wasn't with the villain. At the end of our opening scene the teddy is seen in the Moses basket replacing the baby, this isn't effective now that the viewer has seen this. 

 Another continuity issue occurred when we realized the house keys were on the wrong side of the door when Rosie shut it. This is more of a subtle continuity error however it's still an error. 


This is a key aspect of filming I hope to improve on in my A2 work. In A2 I am going to focus on the tiny details of continuity editing to make sure my final product is consistent and more professional.

However, things we did well with our continuity was making sure all of our characters costumes were consistent.
