Reflection on continuity exercise

Through the process of making the video, I found out that continuity editing is the process of editing together seperate shots so that they have a logical coherence to them to allow the viewer to relate more to the action taking place. I also know now that various media techniques are used to create this sense of continuity such as the 180 Degree Rule and the use of shot/reverse shot.

The next time I use continuity editing techniques, I will think more about how I could edit the footage together before I actually shoot it. This way I will not find myself with difficulty editing the clips together because there are obvious differences between the shots.

A thing that I could have improved my video with is to not include a zoom in the shot, as this does not fit in with the continuity theme. On another note I could think more about the lighting in the shots to improve the clarity of the film.
