The Prelim - Ugliest Jumper Ever

The Preliminary Exercise

This is our preliminary exercise, which we called Ugliest Jumper Ever. The aim was to create a sequence demonstrating good continuity techniques, and had to show match on action, shot/reverse-shot, and the 180-degree rule. The brief stated that it had to be 30 seconds long, and comprise of a character opening a door, crossing a room, and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom s/he exchanges a few lines of dialogue.

Possible Developments

I was thinking about what we have so far, and I'm a little worried it won't take up enough time. This may not be an issue at all, but I thought that in case we need more, we could possibly have a bit of cross-cutting to the housemate, maybe sitting downstairs in the dark watching a horror film - we wouldn't see the TV but would see her on the sofa in her PJs with a mug of tea or something, looking a bit scared, with the light of the TV flickering over her face, in conventional horror-style. She can mention it later during the conversation - 'I was just watching Pyscho' or something. I think something like this might help to build up the suspense and tension a little more.
