Evaluation of my Continuity Sequence
In groups, we created a short movie (20 shots) using a variety of angles, lighting effects, and music to build suspence during this short film. In this film you will find a protaginst (Declan), the victim (me), and the witness (Harvey).

At the beginning we can see the protaginist picking up the knife where we used a close up of the knife getting picked up to build a sense of mystery. The next few shots we used long shots to give the audience a feeling of the enviroment where this has taken place. During the editting of these shots we darkened the background to add a more dark theme into a short film. During these shots the music is building up to create tension. Throught out these next shots we can see the victim minding his own business until it cuts back to the protaginist approaching him, giving him a handshake. During editting these shots we kept cutting in and out between the victim and the protaginist while the music finally builds up. This is to keep the auidence on their seat to see what will happen next. The video then cuts a closeup angle of the knife crime happening. We then instantly cut to a dutch angle of the protaginist. In this shot you will also this to be the darkest shot out of all the shots shown. It is also very distorted to add a dramatic effect. Finally, in this shot theres a more slow/darken tone of music added. The last shot finds the protaginist showing the witness the knife he used to kill the victim. He is found in shock then it cuts to black, leaving it on a cliff hanger.
