This is my continuity sequence which i did in a group. My role was to film the movie and edit it. The film had to include a match-on-action shot which involves a cut of two different views of the same action at the same moment of in the movement. Also, it could not break the 180 degree rule which means; imagine two people standing face to face. Draw a line from the centre of the top of Person A's head to the centre of the top of Person B's. Now extend this line to infinity on both the x and y axes, dividing the two people bilaterally. To follow the 180 degree rule, the camera must, in each sequence of shots, stay on one side of this line.

Quick Analysis of SE7EN 0.00mins-6.00mins





Morgan Freeman: Old school detective - never misses a clue, thinks of every possiblity (experienced) people dislike him for this because it takes more time. Neat because of the way he has his gun,nife and badge in order (lined up on his side cabinate) puts badge in back pocket but all the rest in his front - could mean keeps himself to himself , also his shirt is tucked in and tie up to his collar, smart hat. When he is in bed he has a lamp on which lights up the room this could mean he is afraid of the dark. When he walks down the murder scene high lighting is used on the side of his face. Walking down the street light bulbs are hanging down the shelter. His flat in the kitchen is natural lighting which made it look dull/dark.


Brad Pitt: Layed back by his attutide and clothing. Scruffy - creased shirt,tie not up to collar, coat open, bierd. High lighting was used to light the side of his face when he walked up the stairs.

Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt - When they are both walking one another keeps walking infront, fighting for power/orfority, Morgan walks the same trides perfectly whereas Brad power walks. Brad Pitt thinks he is the 'big man' somebody bumps into him and he gives them a dirty look and turns around.


Title Sequence - clues about the killer, cuts his nails and top of his hands for fingerprints, writes notes could be about his next victim - hand is a silhouette from using a backlight, red screen could indicate blood/violence/murder, sticks pictures in this book, highlights certain words, cuts out the word God which tells us he is religious or the film could be about religion.

My Manifesto

I have left Welling Secondary School with 7 A*-C GCSE's which i am delighted with. I have chosen to do to media studies because i chose the subject for GCSE and achieved a B. I also want to have a career in advertisment because i am very good at organising, using photoshop and have a love in the media industry. In order to succeed in 6th form i must complete all my work to the best expectation possible and finally to not full behind which is a key target for myself. It is vital to have good AS Levels because that would take me down to the next path, that is A Level. I will do well this year in media because i have a good relationship with Leanne and will not let her down.
