Evidence of Editing (Continuity)

 Evidence of Editing (Continuity)

These photos show evidence that I have created continuity in my editing to make the shots all flow in to each other to create a continuous and consistent narrative sequence. This is typically seen in most professional films. This makes the storyline of the film look smooth and clear. This creates a sense of order and verisimilitude for the audience, making the film easier to watch and understand as they can imagine themselves in the position of the characters. I believe this will make my thriller more tense, if the audience imagine themselves in the same scary situations as the main character. I wanted my film opening to be clear and easy to understand for the audience as I have other strange and distorting elements of typical thriller films such as conventional characters, tense feelings emotions, a dark mise-en-scene, etc.  

These images show evidence of continuity as the main hero character (Propp's Character functions Theory) is wearing the same clothes throughout the same day. 

These images show evidence of continuity as I have followed the 180° rule when these two characters are having a conversation. It maintains consistency and makes the conversation seem much more natural to the audience, instead of it feeling distorted. In a thriller film, feeling of distortion may be desirable, but in this scene there is no villain present as it is set during the equilibrium and therefore I do not wish to create this effect.


These photos show evidence of continuity as I have use a rand of shot types, camera angles and camera movements that all together create a sequence where it looks like the main characters actions are continuous.
