Trial Continuity Video



This is a short film produced as an exercise in Continuity. The film involves two characters - Liam and Tom - travelling from two separate locations to meet together and shake hands. With Liam, his travel was shown in one shot, and his identity revealed instantaneously, almost presenting an image of 'victim' in him. We then move with Tom in an elevator (with obligatory elevator music) - an over the shoulder shot hides his face, but highlights the location, giving a sense of villainy to himself.. Two shots (again hiding Tom's face) show Tom leaving the elevator, and a final shot reveals the identities of both during the handshake. Then, a two part conversation (?) occurs, and the film ends.
