Accident sequence analysis

a) Describe the sequence you planned to create and identify the 8 shots you used
Our accident sequence was about a boy being stalked by a mysterious person, who for some reason wanted him dead.
Our shots were made up of :
LS of boy looking in mirror
Eye line LS shot of boy looking where figure was
Reverse MCU of boy looking confused/scared, zoom out to Long Shot of boy walking
Handheld camera, tracking MS of boy running through door
Match On Action CU shot of pressing lift button
OTS MS of killer in lift door, frame within a frame
LS of boy walking out of lift and killer attacking
Zoom out, tilting shot of dead boy on floor CU to LS


b) In order to create a sequence that made sense, what did you actually have to do during production?
To create a sequence that made sense we made sure that their was continuity in the sequence of shots. We did this by by giving varied shots but not jumping from one extreme shot to another only at the end which did give effect to the dramatic ending. We also, made sure it made sense by keeping the same time and space for narrative flow, so everything followed sensibly and made sense.



c) What was your specific contribution to the activity?
My specific contribution to the activity was acting as the mysterious killer, but also helping direct the story and make decision with location and positioning of camera, in most shots.


d) Does your sequence work? IE does it make sense?
Yes, I felt we accomplished the task by making a continuity sequence, as all the shots followed each other making sense to not only us but to the audience. It was easy to follow, however in shot 4 and 5 there was a big jolt (pause).


e) What improvements could you make?
What we could have improved was cutting the end of shot 4 so it flowed with shot 5 more smoothly. Also we had done more shots then we were supposed to but they still worked.
