Continuity Sequence - The Visit

As a preparation to the main task of our AS Media coursework, we had to produce a Continuity Sequence.

Preliminary Exercise: Continuity task involving filming and editing of a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.

This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

For this task, I worked with Emily Peachey, Lucy Hart and Chris Johnson. We agreed to do a prison visit and the title of the film is "The Visit".

Lucy is the prisoner, Emily is the visitor, I am the guard and Chris did the filming.

The Plan:
- Prison Visit;
- Any room;
- Long shot of the prisoner walking through the door, go to shot from behind inside the door;
- Shot goes to the person sitting down;
- Visitor comes to visit the prisoner in the room.

This is our Continuity Sequence:
