Initial continuity task ideas

"Our group has been given the assignment to create a short video of up to 90 seconds long. Within this short extract, we must think about the following:

• You must not break the 180 degree rule
• You must include a shot reverse shot
• You must include more than one location
• You must include a variety of camera angles
• The video must be edited to show continuity and clear meaning within the extract
• You must include interaction between two or more characters

First our group started to brainstorm simple ideas that could be possible filming in appropriate settings. We quickly came to an understanding that we wanted a character to lose a valuable item which then could give us a short plot for the rest of the video. We then agreed to have the first shot in a changing room where the first character cant seem to find her necklace. The next few shots would consist of a her leaving the changing room to her classroom where she confronts another girl who has stolen her necklace. We shortly agreed this is what we wanted to do as the task is very brief and doesn't focus much on a gripping plot. This worked well for our group as we where then able to think into more detail what specific type of camera angles we could use for certain shots; of which we created a storyboard." from Scott's blog
