1.·         The use of slow motion in the opening shot works well in terms of creating drama but does not help in meeting the brief. The slow motion means you lose the continuity editing / match-on-action element that was essential to this brief.

·         The other issue with the slow motion is that the sound is also slowed down which again creates a dramatic effect but does not create the seamless, flowing continuity that this task is aiming for. Here, you probably needed to delete the audio track from the original footage and use a non-diegetic music track before the dialogue begins.

·         The camerawork walking behind the character is very good – steady and well framed. However, you lose the continuity when the character sits down because the other character isn’t there and then magically appears a shot later. The switch from slow motion to normal speed also loses continuity.

·         I really like the close-up shot of the character waiting (hand tapping on table) but you needed a shot of the other character arriving for continuity purposes.

The over-the-shoulder shots are framed OK but try and angle them in a little 

2.It was not shown in class therefore i do not have any feedback from any students.

3.I met two aspects however i did not meet the continuity aspect of the video because a character is not there in one shot and in the next  shot i edited the character to just appear. I also met the expected duration of the video in the brief.

4.I positioned the camera well and i think my match on action was on point on my final film and made the dialogue between the characters more easy and free flowing however the continuity element of the video proved to be really difficult because the narrative did not match it.

5.I found the continuity aspect of editing really hard because with continuity you can not really incorporate other editing styles because it would conflict with the it.
