After completing all of our filming for our preliminary task we found out how hard it can be making sure we follow the rules of continuity. However, we did learn that it is important to complete all filming in one day as the surrounding of the area can change. This is only if it is possible to control the environment. This highlighted an issue with independent, low budget film making, which we will have to look at and plan for in our opening title. This could affect the audience’s reaction leaving them confused and take away the element of the film. This will make the footage look unprofessional, its also helps when editing by making it a clean, smooth shot of the film. A tripod is very important, it is vital for the framing of shots and instantly makes the footage become much more professional because it stops the camera from jerking around which would happen it filmed hand held. The shot where Sam leaves the room, trying to create a tracking shot this didn’t go as well as we thought leading to the camera falling off the tripod and with the spirit level out. This was due to the set up of the tripod. If we was to do this again we would have to make sure that the tripod is correctly set up as our filming is off centre and slanted due to the poor set up. This made it difficult when we then went to edit the clips together. To cover up this problem, or to make sure that nothing like this happens when we come to filming our opening title will be take more footage, this will give us a variety of different options to choose from when we come to edit. Due to the problems that we faced we found it hard to comply to the continuity rules during the editing process, taking longer than we first expected however it made us think about our work more and how we can improve and add to our knowledge. Also we applied continuity rules during our editing process however this took longer than we thought and we dont think it was a successful as it could of been.
This highlighted an issue with independent, low budget film making that we will have to plan for in our opening title shoot. Also we recognised that our continuity whilst filming was off so during editing it was difficult to select the clips and piece them together as there was not a continuous flow. This made the editing process longer if this happened to a low budget or a high budget film this would affect the cost as it would take more time to edit causing a decrease of money. If you're producing a film with a low budget like Paranormal Activity, directed by Oren Peli with a low budget of $15,000, time is money and he would have to make sure the rules were applied whilst shooting to decrease the risk of loosing money.
