1) The story of our video is that two people are walking down opposite corridors which eventually meet at a corner. Character A is holding a large pile of books and character B is on their phone. When they reach the corner they collide and character A falls over and drops all his books whereas character B continues walking on her phone.
2) We attempted to create narrative flow in our film by starting with the two introducing shots which introduced the audience to the two characters in and the setting of the film. We also moved the camera framing in closer between shots 3 and 4 to bring the audience closer into the action of the collision and make the collision smoother.
3) No we did not achieve full continuity as due to our camera positioning in shots 1 and 2 the two characters appear to be walking in the same direction and therefore the collision does not make sense. Also the transition between shots 4 and 5 is jumpy and we did not achieve a smooth cut as character A appears to fall twice.
4) To improve narrative flow in our film we would shoot shots 1 and 2 from the side so the characters look as if they are walking in different directions and the collision would make more sense to the viewer. We would also cut between shots 4 and 5 quicker and match up the action in the shots so the fall is smoother. We would also cut away the point when character B turns around to look at character A after the fall as this would be more fitting with character Bs personality which has been set up in the initial introducing shot (shot 2) where she appears to be unaware of her surroundings.
