Accident Sequence


       
           1. To aid the narrative flow of the sequence, we tried to follow the appropriate rules, such
               as the 30 degree rule. Our first shot was a wide-angle establishing shot of the location, 
               to let the audience take in the setting. We then moved to an M.C.U of the conversation,
               and then an L.S. of Iggy skipping, the shot accompanied by a slow reverse zoom. These
               small changes in the type of shot allow the audience to follow the action without
               becoming confused. We also tried to create match-on-action when Iggy falls over, 
               having him fall in one shot and then hit the ground in a C.U the next shot, however we
               failed to get it in sync as we could not edit the footage after shooting.

           2. In hindsight, the first, (establishing), shot would've looked better without the slight pan,
               as that makes the stable shot seem jerky. The change from shot 2 to shot 3 may have
               looked better if we had panned left and zoomed in on the doorway, as although the 
               establishing shot showed the doors, they can easily be forgotten. Shot 3 also ends far 
               too late, Iggy waves at where we were sitting at the bench, but then the shot carries on
               whilst he lowers his arm, then in the next shot we see him waving again. This totally
               breaks the rules for match-on-action as the result is we see him doing the action twice.
               The 4th and 5th shots also have this issue when Iggy falls, it wouldn't make any sense
               to the audience that he falls twice. Finally, in the last shot, continuity could've been 
               better if we'd been looking in the correct direction as we were laughing, something I
               point out during the shot, another thing ruining the narrative flow.
