Induction Task - Analysis

The narrative of our short film is quite straight forward in terms of story line, its a 'boy meets girl' narrative and the story concludes with a shared kiss. During post-production we decided that the narrative would work better as a comedic plot. During post-production, in result of not having enough footage we discovered a flaw in editing which caused continuity issues. Unfortunately we were not able to retake any shots due to time limits and not having the correct costumes on hand. To resolve this problem, we decided to include a fade instead of the cut which was previously used in the edit, making the overall continuity smoother. We also decreased the speed of the footage which worked well with the comedic narrative as well as resolving the continuity issue further. By making these changes it not only corrected the flaws within the film, but it also added aesthetics which linked with the story. We also experienced an issue with the framing of the tracking shot of 'J' walking to meet 'B', When the tracking shot comes to a still, the framing was slightly off centre causing 'B's leg to be somewhat out of shot. This was due to using a steady cam to get the desired shot, this meant holding the camera lower than eyesight view and whilst filming we were unable to watch the live footage. When we identified the mistake we tried re-taking the shot multiple times but because we didn't have previous experience with the equipment we were unable to get a perfect shot.
