Continuity Task 2 BLK

(first 01:08)

In this sequence from the movie Bride Wars it starts of with an establishing mid shot which then moves to an eyeline match shot from character A's point of view. This then cuts back to a medium close up where the action is matched to the first shot. The camera tracks backwards in front of character A as she moves forwards. There is then a sequence of shots cutting between the medium close up of character A and the eyeline match shot from her point of view and back again as she walks down the isle with the camera tracking along with her. There are then two close up shots of people in the audience and the second one uses a fast pan upwards to character A for a reaction shot.

For the second half of the scene showing character B walking down the isle the same sequence of cutting between the medium close up of character B and the eyeline match shot from her point of view is used.
It then goes back to character A using a medium long shot as she reacts to the video being played, then a match on action is used as it cuts to a mid shot from the opposite direction as she turns to leave the room. The sequence as she runs from the first room into the second uses match on action between the shots as she runs through the foyer. A master shot is then used of the second room to show the overview of both character A and B.

The next sequence of shots are played in slow motion in order to slow down the action fro dramatic and comic affect. This starts with a mid shot of character A as she runs down the isle with the camera tracking along in front of her, to an eyeline match shot from her point of view, to a close up of character B as she turns around, and this action is matched in the next shot from character As point of view before it cuts back to the master shot as they collide.
