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.

Final Shoot! - 12+14/12/08

So, we had our final (I hope!) shoots on Friday 12th and Sunday 14th (Mary's birthday!) December. I think it went well, and we got all our shots - including reshooting the shoes shot with a different pair of shoes... We got a lot of work done and despite Bhavika being absent because she was ill, it was really productive.
It was also a lot more interesting for me because we were doing the shots where Bisma was acting - which meant I could do a bit of filming! So we'll see next editing session whether we can use this footage or not.
Our shoots have been so much fun, and if we don't need to reshoot, I'll definitely miss them a bit!! But it's nice to have all our shots, even if they don't work, because we have a much better idea of how it looks. I'm still a bit worried we won't have enough footage to make up 2 minutes, but we will be adding in title screens too, and we don't want to overrun. Hopefully it's all fine though!
