Seminar Short Film Project

Short film seminar session: 'The Phone'

In one of the seminars we were set to produce a short film which worked on continuity and had a simple understandable story.

They assigned us different locations in the EDA department to begin filming.

We shot the whole movie within the 2 hour session.

When shown to the tutor, several issues were identified:

• There was too much of a slow pan across an empty room at the beginning of the film.
• Every cut was a dissolve.
• We were missing several close ups such as when I was looking at the phone on the desk.
• Missing key continuity shots.
• No ending to the film.

We decided to do the pick ups required for the film and added more shots to flesh out the storyline and ensure continuity was prevalent in the film.

The finished film is show below:
