Continuity

Whilst filming and editing we looked a lot at continuity, this refers to the film clips been edited together so the film flows smoothly and there are no differences that would confuse or distract the audience, for example if in a conversation the camera switches between two actors talking however everytime it cuts back to one of them he has a different jumper on. When filming this may not have been noticed but in the finished film this could really stand out. Therefore we were very careful, making sure we didn't make any obvious mistakes like this. Making sure that the same clothes were worn everytime we filmed and items were placed in the same positions everytime. So far there has been no mistakes that we have noticed so hopefully we have been lucky and done very well to make no obvious mistakes.
