Continuity Editing Task: Planning

We have been given the task of creating a piece approximately 60 seconds in length. It shouldn't exceed 90 seconds and had a few technical requirements we had to think about:
  • You must not break the 180 degrees rule
  • You must include a shot - reverse- shot
  • You must include a variety of appropriate camera angles 
  • You must edit so the continuity is apparent and meaning is clear
  • You must include more than one location
  • You must include some interaction between characters
  • You must include some non-diegetic sound
The first thing my group decided was to create a short narrative, this simply consisted of a person walking into a room looking through a pile of papers, stealing a mark scheme to a test, and having teacher walk in and surprise them. We didn't want anything too complicated and we didn't want to waste time over it because we felt that our time would be better spent on creating the storyboard for the task. This worked well because it meant we had more time to consider and carefully think about which camera shots and angles we felt would be appropriate for our narrative to use within our piece. Our storyboard is below and once we had created it, it was then time to start thinking about when we would start filming.
