continuity film

below is our sequence that we made to practice  film shots, that we would include in our thriller. in this we used a wide angled establishing shot varied close ups and mid shots, pans, and long shots. i think that generally it was successful, however we would of liked to include a circular pan. the story of the sequence was very simple as it was just someone washing their hands. we also included shot reverse shot to show what the person was doing and their facial expressions.

Your understanding of film grammar is clear. This IS continuity editing: the narrative is clear and the mini-film shows good framing but, of course, there is no dialogue and no second character as required in the Spec. If you can find the time later film and edit another.

Now you need to start blogging your research for the main task, including your analyses of thriller openings and a discussion of how these ideas, codes and conventions of the genre might influence your own plans.
