Evaluation of the Continuity sequence-The Video

              Evaluation of the Continuity sequence


Continuity sequence is a story line that always progresses forward in time  meaning that the point the story line starts at will be progressed continually to the end, so that the audience understand the plot. The importance of continuity is to create realism for the audience.

The aim of creating the continuity sequence was to understand how the continuity of the story line  had to be progressed throughout the whole story.

Before making the continuity sequence I had created a storyboard ,which included still images of how the story line was progressed from one still shot to another. The objective of making a storyboard  was to get an idea of what I will  be doing when filming and how the story line will look like when using different shots. This was also like a guide when filming as I knew what kind of shots to use when filming. When filming the continuity sequence my partner an I used a tripod to set up the first shot which was really helpful as the shot was still and not shaky. Overall my continuity sequence went well, as it was actually continuous and when each shot cut it was continuous and made sense to the audience of what is happening.
To improve my continuity sequence I would pre-record the audio as I had problems with it when filming as it was a public place and I had filmed unwanted audio that had ruined some of my footage. .

stop frame animation      tracking shot/single continuous shot  parody of the wicke man  one long shot no cuts  inter textual reference to mean streets

Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

1) In the music video Massive  Attack- Unfinished Sympathy  tracking shot was used throughout the whole music video which followed the main character walking which at the end of the video leaves the shot. This technique was used through out the music video as it is a continuous shot which shows the story clearly without cutting the scenes.

2)The main character is presented as an innocent woman that is lost in herself which we can sees when she is walking she is unaware of her surroundings and just walks without stopping through the whole music video. The woman is also shown as sad and depressed as through the whole music video she doesn't make and eye contact with the camera(audience).

3)This music video is typical to the other as it is a inter-textual reference of the mean streets as it has the same theme of walking in LA streets.


4)The camera work that is used is the continuous tracking shot which tells the story and focuses on the main character shown in the shot. The audience only focus on the other characters for a short amount of time and only see things that the main character passes when she walks.

5)Singles are marketed through social media such as Twitter,Facebook where the is spreads to many people and attracts the audience to the single.

Radiohead - Burn The Witch

1) In the music video Radiohead-Burn the Witch stop frame animation is used throughout the whole video which is a technique used to make things and object appear to be moving 

2) The main character the man in a black coat is presented as an innocent character that is shocked at the style of life people are living in the town. This character seems to be different from others as he doesn't like how the people act and what traditions they have like killing people. 

3)This video is typical like other music videos as it is inter-textuality  and parody of the film Wicker Man as is has the same element when the people want to burn the man is a giant wooden statue.

4)The stop frame animation and haw it is edited together to make objects and things move makes the audience really interested as stop frame animation is not used a lot in music videos and is is kind of unusual as it is mostly used in films.

5) Singles are marketed through social media such as Instagram, Facebook and twitter where people can see everything about the music video by the use of hashtag.
