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.

Editing

Earlier in our editing sessions we worked out everything we need to reshoot [see group blog post], which is quite a lot! However, we got a lot more of the beginning sorted, and it's coming together much better.
In my free when I was editing alone, there wasn't that much to do, so I wrote down the script of the dialogue ready for the reshoot, and we amended it to make it sound a bit more natural and flow better.
I also tried adding in the sound of footsteps from other shots of Bisma going upstairs as the ones we're using somehow lost the sound, but it's really difficult to get it in synch, so that's something we'll need to work on later - but we don't have much time left!!!
