Accident Sequence

Narrative flow techniques
- We started off the sequence with a master shot where all of the shots were taken so all the shots were linked together
- In shot 2, Mario ran in the left direction so it seems as if he is running towards the tables which were in the previous and next shot
- Shots 3 and 4 represent the match on action technique as Mario walks towards the cup, the audience can see he goes to pick it up then the camera switches to a close up shot of his facial expression during that same action
- We adhered to the 180 degree rule by not crossing the camera over to the opposite side - we always stayed in front of Mario

What we could have done differently to aid the narrative flow
- We could have extended the establishing shot to show more of the field where Mario runs so that the audience has a clearer idea of location
- In the establishing shot, the cup is in the middle of the table but then in later shots, it is on the far right of the table
- Shot 3 could have been more clear that it was a direct continuation from shot 2 - currently, in shot 3, it looks as if Mario could have just walked out the canteen door instead of our intention of him running straight from the field to the table
- The match on action in shots 3 to 4 could match more because the emotion in the close up doesn't greatly follow up from Mario's facial expression in shot 3
- At the end of shot 4, the audience can hear giggling from the crew which ruins the narrative flow
- By the end of shot 6, Mario has already fallen and his face is on the floor but then the following shot begins with Mario's head up and then it goes back onto the floor. This is a breach of continuity and also breaks the 30 degree rule because the angles are too similar. We could alter this by cutting out the last shot altogether
