BLK Continuity Exercise Homework

- To begin with, an establishing shot, a wide shot is used to show the people in the living room and shows the audience that the characters are in the same geographic space.
- Between 0:04 and 0:11 shot-reverse-shot is used during the conversation between the two women.
- Around 0:48 match-on-action helps the shots flow when a party popper is shown to be pulled in one shot and when in the next shot, the confetti pops out as though no time has passed between shots.
- At 1:01 a long high angle shot shows all the characters in the location, informing the audience of their positions in relation to one another and their surroundings.
- Throughout the conversation, there is plenty of shot-reverse-shot is used to show reactions from different characters etc.
