Evaluation of continuity sequence

Evaluation of continuity sequence:

 Mise-En-Scene-
 We had a bag of sugar as a prop to resemble a powdered drug, we tried not to be obvious with carrying it around in shots as this looked more realistic than to just walk around with it. The package was seamlessly handed over in the video as if done in real life and there where three different shots showing the handover.

Lighting-
We used the camera set up to direct sunlight in the white balance, an ISO of 200 as it was bright and an aperture of F 11 with a shutter speed of around 1/160 of a second, we used natural lighting for the majority of the shots however we did use indoor lighting at the end so we put the white balance to auto.

High or low angles-

We used only one low angle shot towards the end as they walk through the door, this is effective because they feel accomplishment about getting back with the drugs without being court.

Different shot distances-
We used some long distance shots of the person walking across the field to show paranoia of being caught        

Camera Movements-
We did a tracking shot to show the substance being taken and then a tilt lifting up there head with with the camera going out of focus from a high angle; this was all taken in point of view (pov) to make it seem more realistic.












match cuts on action-
We used this a few times such as when the 'dealer' walks past the camera and then it cuts to them walking out of the woods. there is also a seen of the customer unlocking the door and then it cuts to them opening the door shot from the other side. Thees shots look effective because it makes it look more realistic.

POV shots-
We used on point of view shot in the video when the customer consumes the substance it shows them sniffing the substance and then lifting there head up, this looks effective because it is a realistic approach of filming it. it was one shot with a tracking shot of consumption and a tilt of lifting the head up.











Summary-
I have learnt the different cinematography techniques like different types of angles and camera movements which i enjoyed more than editing because i want to go into photography/ cinematography and have never enjoyed post-production although it was interesting to learn how to edit videos properly. Next time i would consider the camera angles more as they are all the same type of angle.
