Production Update

Example of shots where continuity is broken

Today we were in preparation for our first cut deadline. We spent the majority of our time and attention on making sure the transitions between shots were smooth and created continuity.  We were aware some shots broke continuity as our sequence flows from different time periods e.g. past and present. However at points in our sequence we want to the continuity to appear as broken for example during home videos. This will create a ‘rough’ effect which emphasises the fact that they are home videos, as many videos which are filmed on a camera at home are paused and played according to the event, therefore in this case broken continuity works to our advantage. 

We also tried our best to make all the shots appear as credible by cutting out any unnecessary footage so the characters appear in their natural setting where they look as if they are comfortable. Finally today we adapted the film grain canvas to make the videos further appear as old. We didn't export our production today as the deadline of our first cut was extended to next Friday. This is an advantage to us as we are able to spend more time on editing the footage which we already have.
