In our preliminary task, the most important aspects of editing this video which we were most worried about like continuity editing, not breaking the 180 degree rule, using shot reverse shot etc. An example of how we managed to maintain continuity editing is that we filmed this over a number of days and made our actresses (Lyndsey Wise and Emily Ledger) bring in the same clothes so this didn’t change half way through the video. We try to us a variety of shots including such shots as bird’s eye view, tracking shot, wide shot and close up. The story of the conversation is that due to being nervous all night Lyndsey hasn’t slept very much and has accidentally fallen asleep on a chair. When Emily comes in to wake her, Lyndsey realises she has slept so long that she is late for her interview and runs out of the door. As for suiting the requirements Emily open a door at 0:19 seconds. Emily then continues to walk across the room at 0:40 seconds with a smooth tracking shot. From walking across the room Emily goes to sit down opposite Lyndsey at 0:45 seconds. During the main conversation there are many examples of 'shot reverse shot' as we change from one character to the other. There is a close up of the screen of a phone. This clearly shows the time changing from 12:00 o'clock to 12:01 o'clock.
A mistake that I have made in the continuity editing is at 0:33 seconds. If you look closely Lyndsey put her legs on her right hand side and this suddenly changes to her left hand side when she goes to pick up her papers. Apart from this tiny mistake I think the continuity for this video is quite well put together.
An very good explanation of how you used the 3 principles required in the preliminary task. There is a document I gave you re evaluation your preliminary task, I'd suggest you reference this document and add another evaluative post.
