Throughout our video it was generally quite continuous, however we did encounter a few errors/problems. The first one was at 32seconds, here we can see the brown mini bus and we can still see it as the character gets out of the car. When filming we wanted to shoot from that side of the car however the mini bus was about to leave for a sports event so it would no longer be in the shot which would ruin the continuity. To overcome this we had to change the angle of which we filmed from.
The second error we encountered was at 1.40, here we see the character walking on from the right but the previous clip at 1.32 the character originally walked in towards the right which meant when we saw them from the back at 1.40 it would appear that the character suddenly came from a different angle. To solve this and make the clip flow we used the 'flop' tool in final cut which is effectively their tool for flipping a clip.
Our third problem was that we had planned to film all of the footage in one day but the fire alarm went of which meant that we had to stop filming and by the time we were let back into college the day was over. This meant that we had to film over two days which lead to continuity errors in clothing i.e different T-shirts and glasses not being worn. To over come this we had to re-film some of the footage at 1.50, however we didn't end up using this shot anyway as the video flowed better
without it.
At 2.03 we can see the 'Murderer' in the background at a distance but she suddenly appears in the foreground at 2.08. This is because we were feeling pushed for time with filming so we didn't think through properly that the character needed to walk quicker so that we could make the section more continuous. If we hadn't of edited it so that there was a huge jump between her positions we would have been waiting a while for her to reach the detective and this would have just been a drag and an effort to watch.
Our last continuity error was at 2.15 here you can see that I was standing still to enter the scene where really we should have filmed it from walking into the area. We did originally try to do this but we kept being interrupted by other college members so in the end we didn't have time to keep on filming the same part. Not only this but in the window of the door you can see that there is somebody else, this person shouldn't be there.
