We were tasked with filming and editing a continuity sequence that builds to a tense climax, using editing and cinematography to maintain continuity of space and time. We began with a script that evolved into a shot list, which we then shot and edited into a reel, and finally analysed that reel in a slideshow, all of which can be found below:

Script:

INT. ROOM. DAY.

X sits at a table, waiting.

Cross cut to:

INT. CORRIDOR. DAY.

Y walks down a corridor.

He/she is in a hurry and worried about being seen.

Cross cut to:

INT. ROOM. DAY.

X checks the time impatiently.

Cross cut to:

INT. CORRIDOR. DAY.

Y arrives at a door and opens it furtively to enter the room.

INT. ROOM. DAY.

Y enters and sits down opposite X, but within reach of him / her.

X

Look at the time. What happened?

Y

Sorry. Got held up.

X

Did anyone see you leave?

Y

No. At least I don’t think so?

X

What?

Y

No. No-one saw me leave.

X

You know what will happen if anyone finds out.

Y

Yes, which is why we haven’t much time.

Y takes a package from out of his/her coat pocket and passes it across the table to X.

Y

Here, you should take this, but don’t let anyone see it.

X

What? What is it?

X opens the package to find:

• an envelope stuffed with cash
• a gun
• a photograph
• a bunch of keys…
