Continuity task

This is our final verson of our continuity task, personally I dont think it was a success and if had the chance I would re-do it all over again. The reason i think this is because of the use of camera, editing, mis en scene and sound, I dont think there was enough variety of shots in this short video. The effect of not having enough variety of shots is that the video may become missleading or not make sense, it also can make the video seem more proffesional. One of the main reason i dislike the mis en scene in our task is that it doesnt really make sense and that one of our actors looked at the camera. The reason i do not think it makes sense is because not all of the shots flow together well and tell the story aswell as i would have liked, the fact that one of our actors looked at the camera completely ruins the task because as an audience we are made to beleive we are actually "in the movie" and by looking at the camera it ruins this illusion (Just like if we broke the 180 rule). As a group I do not think we took sound seriously enough and did not pay it enough attension, due to this lack of attention this is a really poor part of our task and if payed more attension it could have increased the overall quality of the task. Lastly there is the problem with the editing, throught the task i can pick continuity faults which really lower the quality of the task. Looking back I can now see what we have done wrong and what we need to take into account when doing our actual thriller opening. For example; from the lack of variety of shot in our continuity task i now know that i will need to have a variety of shots in my final thriller opening.
