Continuity

Continuity

For us the continuity was very important, especially as we had so many cuts and angles of the same shot, it was vital that everything matched with as little mistakes as possible.

Every member of our group, Evolution Productions, acted as a continuity supervisor, or script supervisor as the actual role is called. This enabled to gain unique perspective on our film through different angles without or audience feeling disorientated by seeing the same clip more than once.

While editing we made sure that the match to action shots and the eye-line match shots were crisp and well delivered, we spent lots of time looking at our sequence almost frame by frame to make sure that there was no major issues concerning continuity.

Perhaps the only fault we had would be the difference in weather and lighting due to the different days that we filmed, we tried best we could to make this seem less obvious in post production but ultimately we did the best we could and it is still noticeable however if it came to it I suppose we could justify that indoors there are some sort of tinted windows creating it darker indoors.

We could have boosted brightness of the lamps on set however we felt the shadows and silhouettes created set the perfect tone for the scene so we decided against it.

I think anyone would agree that due to our careful observation on set and in post-production, we were successful in obtaining minimal continuity errors.
