Story Line 1 by Kattre

Beginnig;
The first shot is the main characters point of view. The main character is watching the person through a window while the person being watched is on the phone, the person looks anxious and is constantly looking around. He then puts the phone down and the shot cuts to a front door. This shot is filmed over the main charcters shoulder and shows them knocking on the door three times. The door slowly opens revealing the person who was being watched. The person looks terrified and is really pale then shakily trys to say something but is cut short by the main character who raises a gun and their phone. The main character then presses a button on the phone and a deformed voice begins to speak,
"You took the life of a young child 8 years ago when you were drunk driving. The court however let you away with just 15 months in jail. I believe that is no punishment. Have a horrid after life."
The main character then puts the phone away and shoots the person in the door way. The person collabses on the floor with open eyes and blood beginning to pool around him. The main character then puts a black card with a red bullet and the word grimreaper on the persons body. The shot then goes closer and closer to the card and fades to black once its shown just the card alone.

Middle;
The shot then goes to the main charcater walking into a building that looks like a run down office building. The shot follows the character to an elivator where it changes to the characters point of view again. The shot shows the main character just looking down at blood covered shoes. It then changes to a shot showing the character walk out of the elivator. The shot is a long shot showing the whole person however the face is covered by the hood of the hoodie the main charctaer is wearing. The shot shows him walking towards the camera it then changes to show the character enter a door into an office. In the office is a desk with a man sat behind it the man gestures for the main character to sit down on the oppisit side of the desk. The next shot shows both of the people sat down with a screen that has a CCTV footage on it. Both characters turn to the screen and it begins to play. The shot to the audience is now the CCTV footage alone. The footage shows how the main character shot the other person and then walked away. The screen then goes back to the two people sat at the desk. The man who was all ready sat at the desk pulls out a sheet with a single sentence on it. He pushes it towards the main charcater whos point of view is the shot again it shows the paper and on it the sentence,"dont be seen or you'll be killed". The main characters hood falls down at this point revealing a teriffied face. The main character begins to beg the other man no to take his life however the other man orders him to stand up and go to the window.

End;
This shot shows the man who owns the office pull out a gun and shoot the main character. The shot then instantly cuts to a forest and seems as if someone is laid down on the ground. The shot then shows the man from the office throwing soil on to the camera. That's when the screen goes black showing the end of the movie.



















Continuity in Film by Megan

Continuity systems is the way shots are put together to make sure they look natural and flow nicely. The same scene and lines must be repeated in order to get the perfect shot. Continuity stops the movie from having visible differences in same shot if they are shot at different times. These mistakes can be a moved object or the way the actor/actress has his or her clothes placed. High budget films have better continuity then movies made by independent companies. Continuity is a form of editing securing all shots match the others even if they are shot at different times


Match on action- Refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. Although the two shots may have actually been shot hours apart from each other, cutting on action gives the impression of continuous time when watching the edited film. By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge, which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.


Jump cuts- A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. It is a manipulation of temporal space using the duration of a single shot, and fracturing the duration to move the audience ahead. This kind of cut abruptly communicates the passing of time as opposed to the more seamless dissolve heavily used in films predating Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, when jump cuts were first used extensively.

180 degree line- The 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round.


Shot-reverse-shot- Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

This kind of cut abruptly communicates the passing of time as opposed to the more seamless dissolve heavily used in films predating Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, when jump cuts were first used extensively. For this reason, jump cuts, while not seen as inherently bad, are considered a violation of classical continuity editing, which aims to give the appearance of continuous time and space in the story-world by de-emphasizing editing. Jump cuts, in contrast, draw attention to the constructed nature of the film.

Continuity in film


 
Continuity systems is the way shots are put together to make sure they look natural and flow nicely. The same scene and lines must be repeated in order to get the perfect shot. Continuity stops the movie from having visible differences in same shot if they are shot at different times. These mistakes can be a moved object or the way the actor/actress has his or her clothes placed. High budget films have better continuity then movies made by independent companies. Continuity is a form of editing securing all shots match the others even if they are shot at different times.

There are different forms of continuity for example;

·         Jump cuts- This cuts out any part that would bore the audience and secures the movie to be entertaining.

·         180 degree line- This means that the people in the movie have to stay on one side of the 180 degree line this means that the movie won’t be confusing and it is clear what side each person is on.

·         Shot-reverse-shot- This is the shot used when people are having a conversation it shows one character over the others shoulder and then swaps to show the other character the same way.

·         Match on action- This is where the shot is cut in the middle of an action to show it at a different angle.
