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.

Preliminary Exercise Evaluation 2

2) How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use?

We had an hour to plan, and within our group we discussed what our sequence would actually consist of - the plot, the location, who would act - and then we were each allocated a particular task. We did a location recce to work out positions of both cameras and actors and to see if it would work out. Loren wrote the script for the dialogue between the two characters, while Shaun created a storyboard, which allowed us to see how the shots would fit together with transitions, movements, and the plot of our sequence itself. We knew we would be using non-linear editing, which we took into account when Amelia and I made the shooting script, which we followed when shooting to make sure we got all of our shots filmed, and helped us to do this in the most time-efficient way.
