(Continuity Exercise) Strengths and Weaknesses from my preliminary exercise.

Good points

• Different variety of camera shots created greater understanding.
• The idea was clear and creative, making the narrative humourous.
• Match on action was used effectively.
• Editing was good, invisible editing was in practice.
• The clown music suited the content of the scene.
• Motivated cuts to hide the clowns face was used efficiently as it created suspence.
• The wavy motion of the title, suited the media text.

Bad Points

• The lighting noticably varied between shots.
• Music had a slightly quicker rythme that the scene, this unintentional use of asynchronous sound could have been confusing.
• Personally, I realised that on some mid-shots of the clown contained other objects (large hat & papers on desk) that may have distracted the audience.

Improvements That I would make.

• I would change made the lighting consistent throughout all frames, through editing techniques.
• I would have located music with a similar clown theme, but that had a slower rythme to match the content of the footage.
• I could have used a more related typography that just plain white.
• I would remove all distracting objects from the shoe, to create a more professional look.
