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.

Second Test Shoot

Yesterday we had our second test shoot, which was at my house and inside - and it really was a whole lot easier (even though it was pretty cold too!). We're having an actual shoot today, where hopefully we're going to get a lot of good footage for our final piece, so it's all very exciting, though a little bit scary! Also, I'm unfortunately rather ill and I'm losing my voice a bit as well :(
Talk about timing. But, you know, the show must go on! Hopefully it will all go well and we'll be happy with our footage - we've changed our opening quite a lot, and have just worked out the shots, but they should all work.
My only reservations about the idea are that, although I do really like it, I'd like it to be a bit more interesting. However, with only two minutes worth of footage it'd be really hard to do this without making it ridiculously complicated, and we don't want our audience to have to take in too much - although it might make sense to us, seeing as we thought out the whole idea, it could be confusing to a viewer. Anyway, we'll see how it goes :)
