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.

Thoughts

I like how our idea has developed a lot from our original concept, which, although I liked, I felt was going to have a lot of complications but maybe not be that interesting. However, I think everyone's been making really good contributions to bring it along, and we've expanded a lot on certain ideas and had better ideas about how to show things and what shots to use - but it has got a bit too ambitious at times - Mrs Blackborow's feedback included that, although the beginning twist is good, it's a lot to fit in and be taken in by the audience in just two minutes, which on reflection I realise could be a problem, and we'll have to think hard about how we can get around it - i.e. not putting in too much to take in, but enough to deliver enough information. So I guess we'll see how that develops!
