Accident sequence





1. To aid narrative flow of the sequence, we used different camera angles of the setting to direct the audience to the main action of the shot. The first shot sets the scene including both the hallway and the two actors in the corner. The 6 shots follow the logical order and the framing is useful to show the divide between the two actors sitting and the actor on his own. Apart from 3, all other shots had the correct framing to match the previous shot (example: 1/2).

2. To aid narrative flow (continuity) we could have taken the establishing shot to pan right (towards table) instead of left so that it would match the next shot of the two actors talking. The second shot could have been framed more close-up to direct the audience to the conversation. Also, we repeated too many events (shot 4/5) which broke the narrative flow and shot 3 was unrelated to the previous ones. To improve continuity we could have included another master shot in between 2 and 3. We also cut shot 3 in the wrong place as it was too long and did not finish where shot 4 started. Finally, in shot 6, the actors were looking in the wrong direction to the flow so the two shots did not match.
