Continuity filming

This week I storyboarded my idea for a continuous filming sequence. My idea was to have someone sitting down, who then recieves a text message which makes him feel happy. The man then skips away and swings around a lamp post. My intentions were for my advert to flow, and to get an initial feel of filming 3 seconds before the shot and 3 seconds after, to solidify my filming experience. I managed to use cinematography to manipulate my filming; i used a variation of close ups and long shots to imply the emotions. For example, a close up was used to zoom onto the phone, to show that the phone had the most power, as it was about to change the persona's whole emotion.I used an establishing long shot to set the scene. I also used a slow panning show as the guy walked away.

Before the filming i did 10 seconds of colour bars, and white balance the camera at every different location. I used a tripod for each shot, and filmed each shot about 3 times each, filming roughly 3 seconds before and after the raw footage, just incase.

I had to avoid using jump cuts to maintain continuity.
