Analysis of my first continuity sequence for Sean
At the start of our editing process, one thing we should have added was a fade in to our first scene. This would have made our project look presented.
Shot 1
- Establishing shot
The first shot is an establishing long shot of the scene to show the audience the location at this time. With the subject walking past the camera, it goes from a close up to a medium long shot. It then cuts to a match on action editing point.
Shot 2
- Wide long shot
From the camera being inside and Declan heading for the doors, we cut it to the camera outside as a wide long shot, angled straight ahead and panned around, following Declan's walk.We made sure that the subject was always in the middle of the screen so we never go to fast or to slow when panning. At the end of this shot he reaches out his arm where another match on action is edited.
Shot 3
- Medium close up
The match on action on is cut from his arm reaching out to the car door. This is shot at eye level and an extreme long shot. It cuts to a medium close up of his hand reaching out for the car door and opening it. The match on action fits well and are matched perfectly so there is no continuity. As he goes in and sits down on the chair we cut it to another match on action shot.
Shot 4
- Medium long shot
This match on action is different because we broke a rule in the continuity system with the 180 degree rule. So we moved the camera around to the other side of the car to get the match on action shot. as he goes to sit down in the car it matches his action and flips to the other side for the rest of him sitting down. This is shot at a medium long shot of the inside of the car.
Shot 5
- Long shot
We tried to film and edit and jump cut from him in his car and him on the chair but it didn't go as planned. There is a lot of continuity in this shot. First of all we did another match on action from him mid way sitting down, cuts to him jumping on the chair. One continuity we found was we weren't smart filming this and we needed to think more in detail about the positions Declan were in. It suddenly cuts from him getting into the car, his hands are down and not on the wheel to him in the chair with his hands up and hold the wheel that actually isn't there. This shot is a long shot and in the same position as shot two just closer and to the left. It then cuts to the other shot, linked with a match on action.
It straight cuts to a different camera angle. It moves 90 degrees anticlockwise but stays are the same level. The shot is a medium long shot. The match on action is perfect as his body stays in the same place and moves the same way in the chair. It then cuts to another match on action to a close up of his face.

Good summary analysis so far. However it's not quite finished yet, and needs some illustration.
