Continuity editing is used to make the audience believe they are part of the stories world, it is used to get they audience to forget they are watching T.V and think that they story is real. Continuity editing must not get in the way of the narrative.
Digital SLR Camera's
We used the DSLR camera to take photos so we could make our storyboards. I found the camera's easy to use but did not use many of the different functions; only the automatic setting. We then uploaded the images on to photoshop and created our storyboard.
Organisation
I wasn't as organised as I could have been, if I was to do it again I would choose better locations, people who have more experience with being filmed so my production would look more professional. I would also try and spend more time filming and editing so I could get better shot and add more effects.
Filming
I was quite confident using the digital video camera, I found it easy to work and the functions easy to use. I didn't get chance to use many of the functions, I only really got to use the zoom, if I could do it again I would try to use more functions.
Uploading
We transferred the footage from the video camera to the computer using On Location, we then exported this and opened it into Premier Pro.
Editing
We used Premier Pro to edit our production, we used the cutting tool so our clips were the right length and to cut out bits that weren't relevant or filmed well enough. I found Premier Pro very easy to use and I was very pleased with the outcome. I also used some of the different effects, I made the flashback clip black and white and added ghosting the make it seem blurry and seem more like a memory.
UploadingWe used YouTube to upload our video on to the internet, we then embedded the URL into a blog post.
Blogger
I found Blogger really useful to help present this project, it's easy to work and easy to organise, you can present things creatively, it's easy to go back over work and make alterations and it's easy to access.
Generally proficient demonstration of understanding of continuity editing. Some proficient evidence of ability to use the cameras and editing programs successfully though your evaluation of your use of technology could have been more detailed and you could have used more images to illustrate the actual process of editing the sequence.
