[bell ringing]
- OK, everybody, we're going to go inside now.
[chatter]
- All right, class, what is continuity?
[ticking]
Yes, you.
- In film, continuity is making sure that everything stays the same between scenes even if they are filmed on different days.
- Excellent. Who can give me an example?
- You could film one day and the weather outside is fine and sunny, but then if you film on a rainy and stormy day, the scene would be confusing because the weather outside has changed.
- Excellent answer. Does anybody else have any examples, maybe one that doesn't involve the weather.
- There could be a scene where a character is wearing a hat, and then when it cuts back to them, they're not.
- Well done. Great examples, everybody. In today's lesson, we will each be writing a scene where continuity is not followed.
- Sorry, what do you mean? I don't get it.
- An example would be if we did a scene of a student sitting at the window and the blind was up, then we cut back to it and the blind is down. That would be a continuity error.
- Oh, I get it is now.
- OK, everyone. One more minute.
OK, everyone, what examples have we all thought of?
[tape fast forwarding]
Yes. OK, Lachlan.
- OK, so imagine that a class is sitting inside, but then when it cuts back to them, they're sitting outside.
- That was a great idea, Lachlan.
- Yeah, great idea, Lachlan.
- All right, Lachlan. Back to your seat now.
- Excuse me, miss. How long until the bell?
- Oh, we've still got five more minutes.
- Thanks, miss.
- You're welcome, Madison.
[ticking]
OK, everyone, finish up your continuity errors now.
